Really loving far away! Do you have any idea how big space is? Space is so loving huge, I can't even/ On Earth, one planet, that is covered in people and surrounded by CIA spy satellites, air planes can go missing. The distance between the earth and the moon is so far, you could fit twenty more earths between them. That's just to the moon. The fastest artificial object ever built, the Voyager space probe, is moving 40 miles a minute. That's really loving fast. But for the fastest artificial thing ever to go from the Earth to the closest star, would take longer than humans have had written language. And that's to make it to one star. And that's one-way. To one star. Do you have any idea how many stars there are? And all but one of them are even further away than that star.

And don't let those SETI dipshits trick you, radio waves degrade. They don't last forever in space. weak rear end radio signals aen't going to make it in recognizable forms out to the edge of the galaxy, that's a sci-fi lie. And our radio signals are going a lot less far than they used to, since we figured out how to bounce them off the ionosphere to make them go further on earth, that severely reduced their power outside our atmosphere.

So aliens are out there, but we'll never know, and they'll never know about us, because space is too big.

All this is true

Any alien civilization would be either more advanced than us, or humans are the most advanced species ever ( which would cause euphronius a similar level of discomfort I suspect)

If there exists a civ more advanced wouldn't they have circumvented a lot of the problems you're describing?

Or I guess it's just that we're too far away in a hidden pocket of space for any of them, if they existed, to bother looking here

But then you take in account how perfect conditions for life are here. Wouldn't that stand out?

Circumvented the problems I'm describing? How do you circumvent the fact that the distance between stars is unimaginably vast? Interstellar travel is so impractical, it's practically impossible.

The thing about space is, it's so big every pocket of space is basically a hidden pocket of space. If aliens had sent their own Voyager out into space, and it had passed just two or three star systems away from Earth, that's far enough away that it wouldn't have been able to detect us.

And the conditions for life are perfect on Earth because the life on Earth evolved to find those conditions perfect. For all we know the aliens could be talking about how life could never have evolved on their planet without the perfect conditions of ammonia oceans and methane atmosphere

We would not be able to detect a human level intelligence unless they were broadcasting at us. True . Radio does degrade but we could transmit now to the nearest stars

We don't see evidence of super advanced intelligence tho . And they haven't visited is . Space is big but also time is long. There is more than enough time to travel around and colonize.

Travel around and colonize? Reality isn't Star Trek. The closest star to us is Alpha Centauri. It's four light years away. If we had the ability to make a space ship that could travel at half light speed, which be the greatest engineering feat ever, it would take eight years to get there. Building a space ship that could safely transport a group of humans large enough to have a sufficiently diverse genetic pool for a succesful colony for eight years through space between stars would be the greatest engineering challenge mankind has ever faced, times fifty. A one way trip to the closest star would be the most difficult challenge humanity has ever faced. And a second trip to another star wouldn't be much easier. The idea that if aliens existed they would surely be doing that regularly is born purely out of science fiction

so the great filter basically, either we are past it (and will prob go colonize space) or we aren't (we'll blow ourselves up just like the millions of other civilizations which existed since the universe was young)

given the sheer amount of media we produce about shooting aliens and given that aliens wouldn't have the cultural context to comprehend them into, as well as not having human intelligence, any cursory analysis of our output comes to a quite justifiable conclusion that humans are genocidally violent

What if they like that? What if the closest thing to an accurate representation of aliens is the Orks in Warhammer 40,000?

yeah but if some civilization had like a zillion years to do something wouldn't they at least send like 1 unmanned craft somewhere we can see it I mean we sent out voyager which in a million years or something might get somewhere why can't they just have a bunch of probes or something which are unmanned but just drift in space for like 100 million years and send out radiowaves or something

yeah you are right ftl prob isn't possible and there's prob never gonna be super space empire with 100000000 star systems

They could send out millions of probes, and there's still a good chance none of them would be close enough for us to see them. Space is really, really, really, really big. It is literally unfathomably huge.

And in the very small chance that one actually did come close enough to Earth for us to detect it, radio waves were discovered in 1895. So if aliens did build out and send millions of probes saying "we are here" and one of them passed by Earth, oh poo poo it passed by us in 1903 and nobody manning any of the seven radios in the world at the time realized something important was happening.

back in ww2 there were more serious issues--malnutrition, horrendous dental hygiene, mountain people being hosed up in all sorts of ways--and the draft still did its thing.

it was one of the reasons, though, that eisenhower and kennedy started things like the president's commission on fitness, free school lunches, etc., because a lot of those boys were complete messes in the 40s. today they're fat and under exercised and gamergaters but otherwise okay.

So maybe a draft would be a good thing, if it got everybody in shape

yeah, that role was too iconic. i remember renting the guyver? some real bad movie he was in and it just was impossible because he was luke and couldn't be anything else to me and i imagine that's what a lot of casting directors thought. it's really impressive that he was able to pull a second iconic role out with joker, who now i compare any joker voice too, usually negatively because he's really good as joker.

i kinda think he might be a better actor in general now than he was when he was a dumb kid?

Try watching Guyver 2, where even if you don't recognize the main guy's face, every now and then you'll hear something in his voice and eventually realize it's Solid Snake

we shared a beer and laughed about how dumb 90s sitcom setups were but now we live in the potential OOPS! timeline with our moron child president

it's just another form of the teleportation problem

In an episode of Star Trek the Next Generation, a character is able to maintain consciousness throughout the entire teleportation process. Which means that, in the Star Trek universe at least, you don't actually die when you get teleported
