The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXIX

Rusty

What I'm getting at is everything we thought will change given enough time. Everytime the political wind shifts. Everything shifts with it.

Im still waiting for the shift back to the warnings of 'global cooling' of the 70s where it was suggested the next ice age is upon us. Those Time magazine covers were classic! Yeah, "science" was referenced as evidence in those climate predictions also... just like today. As I get older, it's become clear to me that theres a political agenda behind almost every suggestion. And I tend to believe less and less of whatever government or government funded bodies suggest or publish. If you've been around long enough, you know what I'm talking about... it's mostly pure bs!

Rusty

Yes, I remember that the next ice age is just around the corner. People fail to realize that the earth goes through cycles. It goes hot then it goes cold.

You believe in UFO's? The gov't didn't, now they do. They tried to hide it for how long?

It naturally changes slowly over thousands and thousands of years. It doesn't rapidly change in one hundred years on it's own. Rapid change is always from outside forces. Large meteors or burning trillions of tons of fossil fuel in a short time are some of the things that make a rapid change happen.

Humans are a disease to the planet. Covid was it's immune system fighting back.

One volcano is enough to cool the planet off in one year. That's what caused the Little Ice Age.

Think about this. Are we the only intelligent life in the universe. Given the size of it. You wouldn't think so. But if we are. Are we a fluke?

Anyone who thinks this is the only rock in the universe that spawned life is foolish. How far they made it and how advanced compared to us will be a mystery unsolved long past our lives

So you believe in alien's and have been probed.

IMHO, it would be extreme arrogance to presume we are the only intelligent life in this universe. There are too many cases of 'unexplained aerial phenomenon' (UFOs) for us to be alone in the universe.

I don't think we have been visited. The UFOs are secret military stuff or something. But to think this is the only spec of dust in the universe to be in the goldy locks zone to spawn some sort of life is silly

I want to know who came up with that dumb expression. A fluke is one of the most common species found on the planet.

We could be a fluke. Life is dangerous - just ask a dinosaur. Lots of hurdles to overcome on the way to intelligence.

Life is probably abundant out there but it doesn't appear that any of it is very intelligent. Or maybe we're just not looking in the right place/way.

My current hypothesis is that there are a very few intelligent beings out there but they are so far away that we can't see each other. But I'm just SomeGuy on The Intertubes.

As a human race as a whole we still think selfishly and in short term like any other animal. In order for our species to survive and improve into the future we collectively need to start seeing the bigger picture so to speak.

A deer without sufficient predators etc to keep it in balance will overpopulate an area and eat too much of the vegetation and create self inflicted famine and disease which then knocks the population back into equilibrium again. Or some wolves move into that area and kill off enough deer to accomplish the same thing.

Sustainable farming that doesn’t strip the land of its nutrients and cutting down on # of livestock and eating less meat, especially red meat; reducing our population by breeding less, dealing with our self inflicted global warming/climate change mess using science and common sense not panic or denial; etc

We all need to start thinking less selfishly short term and more long term. We still think and act like the less intelligent animals on this planet, our politics reflect that as well as how we live etc.

We’re the only intelligent and self aware enough animal to even have a conversation about this stuff or realize that it’s happening. That means we have the capacity to do something about it if we try hard enough.

Until we can think bigger than just our own short term self interest, we will continue to be a disease on this planet bc we operate like a parasite that can’t help itself from killing its host even if that means it inadvertently kills itself.
