  • We can barely get humans to the moon, and havent yet gotten any humans to mars. If there is any hostile contact with extraterrestrial life, it likely means that they travelled here, and are so much more advanced than us that we would stand 0 chance of any meaningful defence.

    To reach Proxima Centauri, the closest star system to our own, in a reasonable timeframe (e.g., two years for a spacecraft the size of Starship), would require roughly 200 years of Earth’s current global energy output.

    So, again, assuming they came to the solar system since we are not capable of leaving it, they would presumably have access to magnitudes greater energy output than the entirety of earth. If they wanted us dead, they could probably microwave the whole planet at once. If they wanted us alive as slaves for their sexual perversions, that could get a bit more tricky, but they probably didnt come here without a plan, so my money is still on “WE’RE DOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!”



  • Oh I agree 100%. The technology doesnt suck, It is fantastic beyond my wildest dreams as a young lad. What we are capable of doing now is amazing.

    My complaints are with “subscriptions” and “accounts” to that technology. When I die, my accounts and subscriptions are non transferable. Meaning my $XX,000.00 dollar audible account with over 1000 audiobooks i bought and paid for dies with me. I now pay a yearly/monthly fee to use things like excell(which hasnt changed much) that i used to be able to buy and use indefinitely for 50 dollars.

    The technology is amazing. The greedy corporate overlords are the problem.
