Infinite Trumps...?

"And god came to me, a big god, very nice god, he came to me with tears in his eyes, and he said, Donald, you are truly one in a million..."

We are tribal people...

Great video, thank you Patty.

I think we do subconsciously pass discrimination on to our kids, it just gets slightly watered down, more hidden, or more inventive with each generation. It's something that we ought to consider, rather than pretend discrimination, whether racial or another kind, will go away if we ignore it.

We are tribal people...

Slumming it here?

But there's printed loo roll in the bathroom. snooty

We are tribal people...

It's an interesting version of:

Have you finished, Ches? laugh

@ lcbr...

I've still got some Wiki to go, but I think we've established that the Neighbours theme tune will be faint and warped before we scare anyone away.

That might be cruel, thinking about it. laugh

Extra terrestrial communication.

You jest, but there were very few and it was a fight to achieve anything.

I kid you not.

Extra terrestrial communication.

I'm still reading your links inbetween doing other stuff.

I'm glad you're enjoying, though. That's always good to hear.

We are tribal people...

I get that you'll always have friendship groups of like-minded people and that's really nice, but it would be even nicer if the political tribalism would begin, or maybe continue, to break down.

I don't get agreeing with everything someone says just because they are the tribe you want to belong to. Few people are right all the time, or wrong all the time.

Thank you for your input, Tame, but I feel befuddled.

If you could send a message, what would it be?

Extra terrestrial communication.

Well, that's not going to work, is it?

What E.T. in their right mind is going to answer an appeal from a self-identified non-peaceful bunch of muppets?

How about, "We'd like to gift you some of our most powerful leaders"?

Extra terrestrial communication.

I did physics up to A Level.

I can't remember a thing. laugh

Extra terrestrial communication.

I did my maths O Level over 40 years ago and some stats in uni about six years later. I had to teach myself the stats I needed for my thesis which I did from a book that explained everything in terms of bunnies and tortoises. laugh

Thanks for the offer, but I'm keener on finding out what message you'd send out into space if you could.

RE: "SOME THINGS THAT ARE OLD"..("MICLEE"S 21st CENTURY")

Any word yet?

Extra terrestrial communication.

I kinda knew that (which is surprising).

My point was, in theory, no matter how big the universe is, or how far away the little green people are, at some point they might hear the Neighbours theme tune. laugh

RE: They're not coming after me, they're coming after you...

Telling people they're not clever is not a clever argument, Ozzie.

Hello lovely. wave

This thread is turning out to be a bit of a nerdathon, which I'm enjoying very much indeed.

I terms of the size of the universe (as we know it, Jim), when we send radio signals, how long do they last?

If we are truly obsessed with our own uniqueness, wouldn't we avoid trying to make contact with other life forms? Or maybe we like the state of permanent anticipation. laugh

Extra terrestrial communication.

That's a very good question.

Are we seeking higher beings that with look after us, rather than us feeling alone, or feeling responsible for others?

Extra terrestrial communication.

The fact that we view and interpret from our own value framework is a part of why this is so interesting.

In contemplating communication with others, it informs us of ourselves.

Extra terrestrial communication.

That's the first time I've seen you selflessly thinking of others, Lee. thumbs up

Extra terrestrial communication.

I read kids books, too. It's sometimes to preview them, sometimes out loud for kids, or sometimes I just read what the kids are reading because they're good books.

I've not read the ET ones, but a little ... typing ...aaand...E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, or E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet?

Extra terrestrial communication.

I really can't remember it that well. dunno

Extra terrestrial communication.

Or the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Extra terrestrial communication.

Or maybe like monkeys in a cage.

Maybe they put us here and we've forgotten our natural habitat. laugh

RE: Patriots: Mark Ponder and others...

Hold your horses, Ozzie.

I still feel sorry for you that you can't see Trump's dangerousness.

(but I do agree that politics, especially huge country, unwieldy politics, is corrupt by nature. I just don't agree that Trump is a healthy, incorrupt means of challenging the establishment. He's just more of the same and worse in many ways.)

Extra terrestrial communication.

My dad was conscripted into the Royal Signals in the 50's and is a radio amateur. From my earliest memories of him he's been sending nerdy messages into space as a biproduct of that.

Extra terrestrial communication.

I like the argument that it's both highly probable and highly improbable that other life forms exist in the universe.

Extra terrestrial communication.

That's a good point. Perhaps we too often ignore the impact(s) of acknowledging other's existence on our own planet.

Does thinking about our existence within the universe tell us more about ourselves than the universe?

Extra terrestrial communication.


I was trying to leave room for a discussion on whether we should send signals, or not, but yeah, shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. laugh

That's a really interesting ethical point.

The thought of other life out there is likely pretty mind-blowing for most people. If other life is discovered, or even more so if contact is made, I'd be pretty miffed if I were deprived of that profundity during my lifetime.

Extra terrestrial communication.

I've just watched a 1970's version to see if a different image of human kind might be projected, but what I found most notable were cuts to the audience that were less well synchronised with the rhythm.

Extra terrestrial's with no concept of human culture might assume the etiquette for the audience is to clap and dance offbeat. Imagine trying to practice in readiness for contact. laugh
