This is one of the most beautiful ASMR videos I have ever seen. Your intellect is inspiring, your voice is comforting, the music and production value is top notch. You have a gentle confidence in your voice that makes this a very meditative experience. Also, the subject matter is deeply fascinating to me. Keep up the incredible work.
This is my kind of video. The whispering makes it both relaxing and gives it a good tone, which is helped by the faint “ethereal” music. Absolutely love this video.
JayDHD Well it comes down to probability, in terms of the earth and our solar system we are fairly young, life here has been around for about 3.8 billion years. The universe as a whole is about ~14 billion years old. This gives life on older planets/ solar systems the chance to be billions of years more evolved and advanced than us. It just comes down to us being a fairly young planet.
They don't have to be; there very may well be teeming hordes of non-advanced aliens, but we have no way of detecting them to confirm their existence and they have no way of reaching or contacting us. In fact, if one theoretical answer to the Fermi paradox is correct - that civilization is simply too prone to destroying itself, or that planets are too volatile and prone to natural mass extinctions, to allow for the eons of uninterrupted advancement necessary to reach extra-solar or even extra-galactic colonization - then cavemen-level aliens would be by far the most common sentient life.
Its absolutely phenomenal that we as brains think of life and question or existence and how we came about, how big the universe is etc it just cant comprehend it…we will die not knowing alot we want to know
the 2 main possible reasons of why we aliens havent visited us/we have found no evidence of intelligent life: 1. it is impossible for any being that follows our understanding of physics to reach that level of advanced technology before the species destroys itself via overpopulation/disease/war etc everything humans are going through now 2. it may just literally be impossible to travel between galaxies/solar systems regardless of how technologically advanced a species gets- depressing but i believe the most likely reason
So basically you're saying, it's possible other aliens exist, however it can be impossible we will (or they will) ever know, because we all kill ourselves beforehand?
Your reason #1 is an incredibly egocentric hypothesis that projects your own conceptualization of the human condition onto every potential alien life-form in the unknown universe, completely ignoring an uncountable number of variances that could distinguish hypothetical species from humans and human society. Example: You incorrectly assume overpopulation would be one of three inevitable downfalls of these alien species. The main reason overpopulation is a problem in our society is our ability to derive pleasure from sex: A unique trait amongst even species on our planet, so there's no scientific reason to assume it would be a trait shared by every intelligent extraterrestrial species. Another of the inevitable downfalls that you've ascribed to all hypothetical alien species is war. But imagine for a moment, an intelligent species defined by collective sensory experiences or gestalt intelligence? It stands to reason that such a species would be predisposed to avoiding conflict, such as war. They might not even be capable of comprehending the concept of "war" as we know it, any more then we might be capable of comprehending their methods of intergalactic travel.
@ChickensFTW it's a real solution to the fermi paradox. The idea is, that super advanced civilizations would eventually have to become organized and relatively peaceful and have a conscience of some sort to survive as long as they have. They may not trust humanity to not get a hold of their tech and kill ourselves or another civilization. It might be that they think it's wrong to expose us to that kind of advancement at s time when we arent ready for that kind of power. Which makes sense. We can't handle the power our civilization holds right now.
I could listen to you talking/whispering about these interesting things/topics all day long. I've always loved Space ever since I was a little girl, so learning more and discuss this mysterious "place" is really fun and relaxing.
I have literally been waiting forever for a channel like this, I usually watch vsauce to help me sleep because I like learning at night but I always wanted an asmr channel that would teach me things so thanks
By far my favorite asmr channel. Instant fan! No other channel compares to yours cause every channel posts the same type of videos, same concepts, same ideas. Unique channel you have🙏🏼💯🌎 much love and respect
Excellent video man. I smiled big when you mentioned Isaac. Dude is incredible with an incredible team of volunteers! As an aside, I dunno about you but I'm super disappointed it is taking so damn long to launch the James Webb - I really think that thing is going to tell us a whole hell of a lot more about our origins and probably things we don't even think are viable/have considered as of yet. Exciting times to be alive for sure.
I just discovered this channel today ! How in the heck did I NOT know the two main things I look up on RUclips (asmr and education) would be mixed together ! Blesss you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️‼️‼️
I like the scifi analogies that help illustrate your points here & there, and the refs to your fav books, authors. For some of us, channeling one's inner geek is a marvelous thing to share. (If you were using sports analogies, I'm afraid I'd have to tune you out hehe). The small touches are nice too...soft ambient music, a little candle in the background, taking the time to end with positive goodnight/goodbye wishes. Thank you. Add to ASMR playlist...check! Add to Documentaries playlist...tempting.
The time you take for these videos, The beautiful message at the end and the mind blowing facts are more than enough reasons for me to subscribe, friend
Love your vids, especially the sandbox ones, I'm fascinated about space, planets etc and to learn about it in a relaxing way is great, keep it up buddy.
22:00 if a hypothetical alien civilization were to be keeping track of us and rate our ethical codes, I don't think they'd be watching how we treat each other as much as they would be watching how we treat those who are not human. In this scenario, this outside civilization is scouting our ability to live alongside those who are not like us -- not our species. Maybe we need to treat animals more ethically to rank higher on that scale? Just a thought. Opinions?
If the universe is truly infinite then there's an infinite number of other planets with people exactly like us but slightly different in different ways. Life is just so rare that there is maybe a handleful of life forms besides us in our galaxy. It's millions of light years to the next galaxy which is so far away that life hasn't been able to traverse the distance needed to reach us. Furthermore it took life 6 billion years to get to the point of self aware humans 200 thousand years ago... Nearly half the age of the universe to create us.... Life hasn't had the time it needs to reach out quite yet.
Your voice was made for whisper videos brother. combine that with your interest in fascinating topics and you're starting to become one of my favorite content creators! Also you kind of remind me of the Nerd ASMR!
The thought of there being no aliens terrifies me, it gives to much power to religion, and stuff like it. I dunno. The great filter is an interesting theory
If they exist im sure they have a rule about not contacting us anyway like we have rules about contacting indigenous tribes, there isnt any real reason for them to visit us anyway especially if they've advanced so far to how we theorise them to be. The only reason I can understand would be seizing of resources but even then this is usually rendered null by the technological superiority since im sure they are self sufficient and do not rely on a finite resource to live, who says they even need to breathe, eat or drink. Im sure it comes down to how inquisitive our friends are feeling.
Your voice is perfect Sir. The presentation was perfect. It would be even better if you could just slightly raise the volume in future vidoes, just slightly. Thanks
the eye zoom :D lol looking up at the stars and pondering the universe always helps put things in perspective. trouble is, then you walk back inside and into the banal realities of everyday life. sigh
I think the theory that brings me the most peace is that there is infact alien life out there, but we were the first, we are the most advanced life form in the universe, therefore all the other ones arent advanced enough to show themselves or travel to us.
I just found your channel, watched one video and subscribed immediately. I love astrophysics and these videos are super interesting and calming. Keep up the good work :)
Curious. Aren't the chances that a species existing along the same timeline as us, with relative tech advancements (to advanced might not consider us intelligent vice versa) and within range to communicate Extremely small? I still love the content you produce, I've just always wondered this
I’ve watched this same video 50+ and can’t enjoy the actual topic at all. I just end up sleeping and forgetting everything; definitely a curse as a blessing in disguise.
This is an interesting subject. In Halo there is a similar philosophy called the Mantle of Responsibility, created by the Precursors, the very original life forms. It is essentially the stewardship of all life in the galaxy, the Mantle says nothing about said "Reclaimers" not being able show their presence to pre slip space beings. The Federations prime directive seems more along the lines of non interference to any pre warp society, full stop. Even if they could be saved.
Honestly, I think a very likely answer becomes pretty evident if you simply look at the history of life on Earth; there are mass extinctions that wipe out 75-90% of life on the planet *extremely* regularly, in terms of the scale of time necessary for intelligent life to develop. And then once you do get to the level of civilization, you have collapses of that civilization to deal with as well; it's happened multiple times in our own history, around 1200 BC when the Bronze Age Mesopotamian civilizations collapsed and again when Rome collapsed, both leading to societal regression and hundreds of years of stagnation. We even have a term for it: Dark Ages. And it's not as if it's impossible for it to happen again either; we like to think that the internet has saved us from such a thing, but all it would take is a flipping of the Earth's magnetic axis (due to happen pretty soon in the planetary timescale) or a solar megaflare from the sun to destroy our entire electronic infrastructure, and the more dependent we are on it the worse it will be when it happens. The only hope I can see is successfully colonizing Mars or Venus to better our odds a bit, but there are plenty of catastrophes that affect the entire solar system as well, and who knows how long it will be between extra-planetary travel and extra-solar travel... It seems to me that the time limit a species has to advance itself to the point of extra-solar travel is simply far too small for it to be a realistically achievable thing, and that's why we don't see them; they don't exist, even if alien life does.
Finally, a worthy opponent. I see where you are going, however i disagree and agree with your second paragraph. The Moon would be a much better choice the Venus. First, a Moon Colony would be much more "adaptable" because it is much closer the Venus, so communications or supplies would get to and back from the Moon and Earth much faster then Earth or Venus. Second, the Moon would offer a new variety of obstacles which would lead to new technological advances for Humanity. It would have much more room for a Propulsion Cannon, which would be a Mega-Structure for Humanity, as it would allow for much much faster travel to colonize the rest of the Sol System, which would then give us extreme amounts of new materials and resources to work with for new advances. Now for your alien life statement. My view is that you believe that the time it would take for Alien Life to develop ships capabale of interstellar travel is far to low. Well, Modern Humans 65,000 - 50,000 Years ago only had cave art, stone tools, fire, small huts and basic weapons for defending and hunting. But now in such a short time frame we are already preparing to send people to Mars using Space Ships. Think about that for a few seconds. Now, many other intelligent alien species could have evolved much much much earlier then the first ever Humans appeared, which would give them a huge time advantage for technological progress. My best guess would be that Humanity isn't to far behind in the Galactic Technological Scale, as I think that most alien "empires" would have just colonized the outermost planet in their solar system and have either just began to develop ships capable of Interstellar Travel or just finished those types of ships and just arrived in a new solar system. I may be wrong in the last sentence as there could not even be others which is highly unlikely due to practically infinite planets and only 1 having life, or there already may by Galactic Empires, who knows? We don't have any evidence proving or denying it. This was just my view, have a good day.
@@El_ven1 Sure, it's only been less than 100k years since we were cave people, but that ignores the millions of years of evolution before that which were necessary for us to even get that far. It's not as if any random species can just suddenly one day start picking up rocks to use as tools and bam, they're instantly on the path to becoming as advanced as humans within 50k years
@@heyimanameheyimalastname Im not exactly saying that. Im saying that in just 65K Years we achieved space travel when all we had was stone tools and other things. Your not wrong about the evolutionary process for us to use tools, but i was using a specific timeframe.
@@El_ven1 Yeah, I get that, but I'm saying that advancement is built upon what came before, so looking only at that timeframe doesn't really provide any meaningful insight into the chance of life progressing to our level of technology. It may have only taken 65k years from the stone age to the space age, but there were still millions of years for things to go wrong and wipe us out before that
@@heyimanameheyimalastname I understand where your coming from. I know that many things happened before, but i am only looking at the technological jump in just 65K years.
the fact that we are located on a xo planet isn't the only reason we are here, the events that occurred to our planet from the time it was created played just as an important role, to think that if the dinosaurs hadn't of gone extinct we most likely would be here today
I think our level of consciousness has to do with how and why we can't make contact with extra terrestrials, but they can with us. Another level of consciousness means living on a whole different dimensional plane/reality. And we aren't there yet because we haven't learned to use our hearts to love each other as the human beings we are. Our minds are young. We are young as a species. But our souls, energy bodies, or spirits whatever the term may be... are the most ancient wonder about us and our soul, energy bodies, or spirits are connected with our hearts, not our minds.
First time i’m subbing to an asmr channel... Such a nice vid ! It make me sad thinking that i probably will never see other civilisation or space travlers and more :(
If I were an alien, and was sagacious enough to traverse the universe and I found earth, what would my next move be? Well let's evaluate, I would look at how the specious I had found interacted with each other. Ok with greed, misogyny, antisemitism, xenophobia, homophobia, and so on being ubiquitous; I would have some doubts whether it would be prudent for me to make first contact, being a foreigner and all. Next, I would look at how each continent reacts with each other. Ok, with the U.S threatening North Korea and North Korea returning those threats and all the many other squabbles each country has with one and other. I would be pondering if this beautiful blue planet's residents were on the verge of committing world war three, as an alien this would also make me think long an hard about visiting. Then, of course, there's all those noxious gases being pumped into the atmosphere, the muggings, murders, thefts, burglars, agrivated assaults, child abuse, animal abuse, spousal abuse, drug and drink abuse, and... I really couldn't be bothered to carry on, I have things to attend to you know. From an outsiders point of view, they would think the species they had newly discovered were not quite affable and amenable enough to visit. They would probably find us primitive and animal like in our behaviour and would probably be to scared to visit us. What would my next move be? Run, run as fast as possible, run as though my life depended on, because it probably would. What would your next move be? 😊😊
ImperialChrome I guess, I believe, if aliens have technology powerful enough to traverse the universe and have not yet destroyed themselves with such power. Then I would hope that, not only would have they evolved their technology, they would have evolved a truly altruistic society as well. If they haven't, then all I can say is God help us. An alien race with prodigious power and our morals woul be our end. 😊😊
Funny how any society that practices this kind of backwards, pathological altruism is normally conquered, absorbed and lucky to be a footnote in history whilst stronger groups actually capable of getting us into space are themselves the products of conquerors, discriminators, etc. If _any_ race with a thinking pattern/moral capacity similar to our own (and by "our" own I'm talking about post-enlightenment, post-60's western ideals; ideals that aren't actually that common in other places of the world) has accomplished the feat of interstellar travel, then they've done it with a history of putting their own to the sword for millennia . Perhaps they eventually got out of that funk; by sheer mathematics and the vastness of space literally anything is possible, but please don't presume that our planet is inhabited by some sort of unique evil.
I would like to personally thank you for this video because as I listened to it I finally decided to write a book, because I had finally found an idea. Currently I am writing a science fiction book not unlike that of 2001 ( I even use the same writing style) centered around the Fermi paradox, and so I would like to thank you because I would never have gotten the idea if it weren't for you.
Couple of questions.. 1. Why is it so hard to believe that life would be an extremely rare circumstance? Just because the possibilities are endless doesn't mean that every possibility is going to happen often. If you include spacetime in everything that exists, which you would have to because it's necessary for anything to exist, then it's mathematically proven with numbers defined and measured by science that matter is the EXCEPTION to everything that exists. Matter only makes up 0.000001..% of everything that exists, where spacetime makes up 99.999999..% of everything that exists. We are the EXCEPTION to spacetime. Spacetime quite literally FILLS US, we do not fill spacetime. So if matter itself can be a very tiny portion of everything that exists, then to me it would only make sense that life could also be an extremely rare circumstance/an extremely rare possibility at least in comparison to the circumstances around us that are observable by us. Or it could even be possible that we're at either the beginning or the end of all the possibilities/circumstances of life happening. Meaning, we just so happen to be at the very beginning of the existence of all life, meaning WE are the first advanced lifeform to exist and are in fact the most evolved lifeform out there. Or it could be the other way around, we could be at the END of all advanced lifeforms existing and just happen to be the ONLY advanced lifeform out there that happened to survive the evolution of everything that exists. If anything and everything is possible, then EITHER of those possibilities are also possible. Doesn't mean it's a common occurrence, but we just happen to be that rare occurrence. 2. If aliens or lifeforms that are more advanced than us DO in fact exist, what makes you think they would send themselves to investigate us? How do you know that they don't look at us as a possible threat to their existence? If we ourselves were to investigate our galaxy for advanced lifeforms wouldn't we ourselves be concerned about exposing ourselves to them? You don't think we would be worried about possibly exposing ourselves to something that could possibly be even MORE advanced than us and be a threat to us as an entire species? If there are in fact aliens and/or more advanced lifeforms out there, I highly doubt they would be dumb enough to send themselves to us, rather than send some highly advanced AI technology to investigate us, so they don't have to themselves. Not to mention, the more advanced a lifeform is in relation to us, the less likely we would even be able to conceptualize them, let alone detect them. It would be like comparing ourselves to an ant. An ant isn't going to have any concept of what a human being is let alone be able to detect us, all they're going to understand is that there's some kind of giant being out there that could possibly step on them and kill them in an instant. They're not going to understand anything about us beyond that.
Thanks!

The ASMR Paradox: there are tons of cool facts in ASMR videos that you'll never learn because you'll fall asleep too soon
you win
😂😅 lol happens to me Aaaaaallll the time.....
This comment mildly ammused me, which in itself deserves top marks 🤓. . .so true tho, touche hehe...
Yeah, but that just means I can keep listening and seeing how far I’ll get.
No.
I'd like to listen to this as a podcast.
Let's Find Out ASMR I usually open up pocketcasts and search for a podcast there (Android user)

Why do all aliens have to be “advanced” life forms?? Why can’t there be alien cavemen??

The universe as a whole is about ~14 billion years old. This gives life on older planets/ solar systems the chance to be billions of years more evolved and advanced than us.

GAIUS LULIUS CAESAR Umm what?
Right why do we expect all these other life forms to have spacecrafts lol
Yay an existential crisis
Hahahahahahahahahaha... wait-
I never thought about how quickly we advance. It’s crazy that in 63 years we went from inventing flight to walking on the moon
Got pretty stagnate though..
*Life is too much for the human brain to comprehend*
Yet the human brain is literally able to understand that it can’t comprehend this.

Davanthall The Who?
@ChickensFTW it's a real solution to the fermi paradox. The idea is, that super advanced civilizations would eventually have to become organized and relatively peaceful and have a conscience of some sort to survive as long as they have.

This is a great channel, you deserve more subs bro keep it up
I watched like 5 minutes of the first video. This is such an interesting idea. How unique is life??? No answer yet lol
Indiee ASMR, actually,there is. If the universe is infinite then life is equally as unique as anything else. 😉
HexFire03 Gaming let the simple minded people evolve their minds at their own pace
I love your videos! Just found your channel yesterday, keep up the awesome work! Very fascinating
Curious. Aren't the chances that a species existing along the same timeline as us, with relative tech advancements (to advanced might not consider us intelligent vice versa) and within range to communicate Extremely small? I still love the content you produce, I've just always wondered this
Love this. Awesome relaxing and stimulating at the same time a paradox in itself.
Best ASMR video I've ever seen in my life!
I’ve watched this same video 50+ and can’t enjoy the actual topic at all. I just end up sleeping and forgetting everything; definitely a curse as a blessing in disguise.
Your an Awesome Guy, your my new go to guy for ASMR. :) Peace and Love to All
Your voice is auditory gold
This is an interesting subject.
In Halo there is a similar philosophy called the Mantle of Responsibility, created by the Precursors, the very original life forms. It is essentially the stewardship of all life in the galaxy, the Mantle says nothing about said "Reclaimers" not being able show their presence to pre slip space beings.
The Federations prime directive seems more along the lines of non interference to any pre warp society, full stop. Even if they could be saved.
I love you and I love your interesting science ASMR channel.
Honestly, I think a very likely answer becomes pretty evident if you simply look at the history of life on Earth; there are mass extinctions that wipe out 75-90% of life on the planet *extremely* regularly, in terms of the scale of time necessary for intelligent life to develop. And then once you do get to the level of civilization, you have collapses of that civilization to deal with as well; it's happened multiple times in our own history, around 1200 BC when the Bronze Age Mesopotamian civilizations collapsed and again when Rome collapsed, both leading to societal regression and hundreds of years of stagnation. We even have a term for it: Dark Ages. And it's not as if it's impossible for it to happen again either; we like to think that the internet has saved us from such a thing, but all it would take is a flipping of the Earth's magnetic axis (due to happen pretty soon in the planetary timescale) or a solar megaflare from the sun to destroy our entire electronic infrastructure, and the more dependent we are on it the worse it will be when it happens.
The only hope I can see is successfully colonizing Mars or Venus to better our odds a bit, but there are plenty of catastrophes that affect the entire solar system as well, and who knows how long it will be between extra-planetary travel and extra-solar travel... It seems to me that the time limit a species has to advance itself to the point of extra-solar travel is simply far too small for it to be a realistically achievable thing, and that's why we don't see them; they don't exist, even if alien life does.
Finally, a worthy opponent.
I see where you are going, however i disagree and agree with your second paragraph.
The Moon would be a much better choice the Venus. First, a Moon Colony would be much more "adaptable" because it is much closer the Venus, so communications or supplies would get to and back from the Moon and Earth much faster then Earth or Venus. Second, the Moon would offer a new variety of obstacles which would lead to new technological advances for Humanity. It would have much more room for a Propulsion Cannon, which would be a Mega-Structure for Humanity, as it would allow for much much faster travel to colonize the rest of the Sol System, which would then give us extreme amounts of new materials and resources to work with for new advances. Now for your alien life statement. My view is that you believe that the time it would take for Alien Life to develop ships capabale of interstellar travel is far to low. Well, Modern Humans 65,000 - 50,000 Years ago only had cave art, stone tools, fire, small huts and basic weapons for defending and hunting. But now in such a short time frame we are already preparing to send people to Mars using Space Ships. Think about that for a few seconds. Now, many other intelligent alien species could have evolved much much much earlier then the first ever Humans appeared, which would give them a huge time advantage for technological progress. My best guess would be that Humanity isn't to far behind in the Galactic Technological Scale, as I think that most alien "empires" would have just colonized the outermost planet in their solar system and have either just began to develop ships capable of Interstellar Travel or just finished those types of ships and just arrived in a new solar system.
I may be wrong in the last sentence as there could not even be others which is highly unlikely due to practically infinite planets and only 1 having life, or there already may by Galactic Empires, who knows? We don't have any evidence proving or denying it.
This was just my view, have a good day.
@@El_ven1 Sure, it's only been less than 100k years since we were cave people, but that ignores the millions of years of evolution before that which were necessary for us to even get that far. It's not as if any random species can just suddenly one day start picking up rocks to use as tools and bam, they're instantly on the path to becoming as advanced as humans within 50k years
@@heyimanameheyimalastname Im not exactly saying that. Im saying that in just 65K Years we achieved space travel when all we had was stone tools and other things. Your not wrong about the evolutionary process for us to use tools, but i was using a specific timeframe.
@@El_ven1 Yeah, I get that, but I'm saying that advancement is built upon what came before, so looking only at that timeframe doesn't really provide any meaningful insight into the chance of life progressing to our level of technology. It may have only taken 65k years from the stone age to the space age, but there were still millions of years for things to go wrong and wipe us out before that
@@heyimanameheyimalastname I understand where your coming from. I know that many things happened before, but i am only looking at the technological jump in just 65K years.
Geez, this was 1 year ago. I can't believe that I have just found this channel.
the fact that we are located on a xo planet isn't the only reason we are here, the events that occurred to our planet from the time it was created played just as an important role, to think that if the dinosaurs hadn't of gone extinct we most likely would be here today
I think our level of consciousness has to do with how and why we can't make contact with extra terrestrials, but they can with us.
Another level of consciousness means living on a whole different dimensional plane/reality.
And we aren't there yet because we haven't learned to use our hearts to love each other as the human beings we are.
Our minds are young. We are young as a species. But our souls, energy bodies, or spirits whatever the term may be... are the most ancient wonder about us and our soul, energy bodies, or spirits are connected with our hearts, not our minds.
What’s the background music?
Lol that zoom in the begining was brilliant
Haha thank you! I noticed the background noise too and it was bothering me
This so much better!
First time i’m subbing to an asmr channel... Such a nice vid ! It make me sad thinking that i probably will never see other civilisation or space travlers and more :(
Guy named everybody: nothin just chillin
12:30 why that look like cybertron from transformers 3 getting hit with the beam 😂
Great content, can we have another part with other reasons please?
So when are ya gonna do the simulation hypothesis? Thanks for this! It made me think and then fall asleep!
My theory is that we're sat here on Earth like "where are the aliens??"
And the other space beings are like "where are the aliens??"
I had a weird dream i fell asleep with this on
What movie are the white ppl at 16:50 from?
If I were an alien, and was sagacious enough to traverse the universe and I found earth, what would my next move be? Well let's evaluate, I would look at how the specious I had found interacted with each other. Ok with greed, misogyny, antisemitism, xenophobia, homophobia, and so on being ubiquitous; I would have some doubts whether it would be prudent for me to make first contact, being a foreigner and all.
Next, I would look at how each continent reacts with each other. Ok, with the U.S threatening North Korea and North Korea returning those threats and all the many other squabbles each country has with one and other. I would be pondering if this beautiful blue planet's residents were on the verge of committing world war three, as an alien this would also make me think long an hard about visiting.
Then, of course, there's all those noxious gases being pumped into the atmosphere, the muggings, murders, thefts, burglars, agrivated assaults, child abuse, animal abuse, spousal abuse, drug and drink abuse, and... I really couldn't be bothered to carry on, I have things to attend to you know.
From an outsiders point of view, they would think the species they had newly discovered were not quite affable and amenable enough to visit. They would probably find us primitive and animal like in our behaviour and would probably be to scared to visit us. What would my next move be? Run, run as fast as possible, run as though my life depended on, because it probably would. What would your next move be? 😊😊
You presume that immorality is not a universal characteristic.
ImperialChrome I guess, I believe, if aliens have technology powerful enough to traverse the universe and have not yet destroyed themselves with such power. Then I would hope that, not only would have they evolved their technology, they would have evolved a truly altruistic society as well. If they haven't, then all I can say is God help us. An alien race with prodigious power and our morals woul be our end. 😊😊
If aliens do have advanced space travel technology they undoubtedly have a singular societal/scientific/political goal.
Funny how any society that practices this kind of backwards, pathological altruism is normally conquered, absorbed and lucky to be a footnote in history whilst stronger groups actually capable of getting us into space are themselves the products of conquerors, discriminators, etc. If _any_ race with a thinking pattern/moral capacity similar to our own (and by "our" own I'm talking about post-enlightenment, post-60's western ideals; ideals that aren't actually that common in other places of the world) has accomplished the feat of interstellar travel, then they've done it with a history of putting their own to the sword for millennia
. Perhaps they eventually got out of that funk; by sheer mathematics and the vastness of space literally anything is possible, but please don't presume that our planet is inhabited by some sort of unique evil.
Love how interesting your asmr is. Keep it up, I’m excited for what your next topic will be !
12:30 wait a second isn’t that Cybertron?
I would like to personally thank you for this video because as I listened to it I finally decided to write a book, because I had finally found an idea. Currently I am writing a science fiction book not unlike that of 2001 ( I even use the same writing style) centered around the Fermi paradox, and so I would like to thank you because I would never have gotten the idea if it weren't for you.
wow. that's awesome. i respect your aspirations
I want to read it
This is such a good channel wow
April 2023, wonderful again, thankyou from Belgium
Ive been tryna finish this for 3 days
I love this!!
Favorite ASMR channel! You need a couple of extra zeros of that subscriber count ;D
Couple of questions..
1. Why is it so hard to believe that life would be an extremely rare circumstance? Just because the possibilities are endless doesn't mean that every possibility is going to happen often. If you include spacetime in everything that exists, which you would have to because it's necessary for anything to exist, then it's mathematically proven with numbers defined and measured by science that matter is the EXCEPTION to everything that exists. Matter only makes up 0.000001..% of everything that exists, where spacetime makes up 99.999999..% of everything that exists. We are the EXCEPTION to spacetime. Spacetime quite literally FILLS US, we do not fill spacetime. So if matter itself can be a very tiny portion of everything that exists, then to me it would only make sense that life could also be an extremely rare circumstance/an extremely rare possibility at least in comparison to the circumstances around us that are observable by us. Or it could even be possible that we're at either the beginning or the end of all the possibilities/circumstances of life happening. Meaning, we just so happen to be at the very beginning of the existence of all life, meaning WE are the first advanced lifeform to exist and are in fact the most evolved lifeform out there. Or it could be the other way around, we could be at the END of all advanced lifeforms existing and just happen to be the ONLY advanced lifeform out there that happened to survive the evolution of everything that exists. If anything and everything is possible, then EITHER of those possibilities are also possible. Doesn't mean it's a common occurrence, but we just happen to be that rare occurrence.
2. If aliens or lifeforms that are more advanced than us DO in fact exist, what makes you think they would send themselves to investigate us? How do you know that they don't look at us as a possible threat to their existence? If we ourselves were to investigate our galaxy for advanced lifeforms wouldn't we ourselves be concerned about exposing ourselves to them? You don't think we would be worried about possibly exposing ourselves to something that could possibly be even MORE advanced than us and be a threat to us as an entire species? If there are in fact aliens and/or more advanced lifeforms out there, I highly doubt they would be dumb enough to send themselves to us, rather than send some highly advanced AI technology to investigate us, so they don't have to themselves. Not to mention, the more advanced a lifeform is in relation to us, the less likely we would even be able to conceptualize them, let alone detect them. It would be like comparing ourselves to an ant. An ant isn't going to have any concept of what a human being is let alone be able to detect us, all they're going to understand is that there's some kind of giant being out there that could possibly step on them and kill them in an instant. They're not going to understand anything about us beyond that.
I live in a type V society.
Or, we could be the first intelligent race to exist?
Boring but good for us lol
Not likely imo lol
A Salty One doubt it
RJJ Trolling Someone has to be the first.
There’s probably an alien civilization that are just as advanced as us
Schrödinger's ASMR - we watch the video to gain information but fall asleep so is the second half of the video really there or just blank space
This just reminds me of a podcast but with asmr
17:20 cool ship
Just Type 3 is good enough dam, human cyborgs can program there own reality and not even worry about anything else
