Of course we're not alone in intelligence. We share this very planet with dolphins at least as intelligent as us, and we treat them appallingly putting them in tiny pools and training them to do tricks for our children to enjoy. We share the same DNA with pigs, just arranged in a different order, and pigs are as intelligent (by our understanding) as a 3 year old human child, and we treat billions and billions of them appalling for their short brutal lives confining them in crates they can't even turn around in. Our cousins the monkeys and apes are models for diseases like Parkinson's so that Pharma can say they've tested their ineffective and toxic drugs on them and make lots of money.
If alien life came to this planet they would be imprisoned, experimented on and killed. Humans would not sit down and talk to them and ask their advise.
The wisdom of our beings, also called the universal consciousness is in all of us. We just need to stop the chatter on Twitter etc long enough to be able to hear it; before we annihilate ourselves and most other things on this planet. However species come and species go. Civilisations come and go; indeed we're watching the decline of the US empire before our eyes. Humanity will certainly cease one day, whether we do the 'right' things or not.
I don't think it's the fear of being alone that drives us. It's the fear of death, that we're not needed, special, eternal nor in control.
Letting go of all these things brings the freedom to live with our neighbours and other animals in peace, acceptance and harmony.
Brilliant. And I agree, after looking within and assessing my “human” failures I think I fear not being “in control” the most. Then a friend called it the “illusion of control” and I felt a lot clearer—it’s illusions I fear losing the most.
Yes the illusion of separation (from each other and everything else) and the illusion of control have us in their grip. Once we realise they are illusions anyway we can live without fear
I doubt we qualify as "intelligent life" in the universe. And there must be intelligent life somewhere because we have some inkling that something is wrong compared to - something else. Life that is obsessed with objects and money, and takes no thought to its own immense suffering and the distinct possibility of its absolute extinction for all time cannot qualify as intelligent. The narrative and official political statements now make Jabberwocky sound totally intelligible in comparison. Can you take in, for instance, Ursula Von Der Leyen's actual scolding and warning to Xi Jinping? In his own country, yet? I'm damned if I can. And now she's promoted to NATO Secretary General.
Cats don't think too highly of us- so there you go. They keep us guessing: does the cat like us -or not? And that translates into all kinds of good stuff - for the cat. They play on our vanity and insecurity, need for love from those who withhold it, and our need to be in control. And that's how we're played by everyone else, and ourselves.
For my part, I'd as soon not have to bother with the human world at all, but I am not an apex predator with a reliable food supply. So I have to leave the delights of felinity from time to time to explain things to the people in the hope that they don't screw my world up more than they already have.
You do a wonderful job of that to those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. Thank you for your efforts. Getting people to see that the cliff is right THERE and to not step over the edge is a big job. You’re a good cat man. 😻😸😽
Maybe. What I really think is that cats are here to help us heal from being human. And they let us project our inanities on them to which they make no comment and then we think that’s proof of something and we act on that. Unlike dogs who are so anxious to help us, they’ll join us in our insanity. I love dogs just fine, but cats are gods and always will be
I still vividly remember Ronald Reagan's speech on television in 1983, when he mentioned the Evil Empire ! At that time, everyone thought that he was talking about the Soviet Union at that time, but now everyone knows that there is an Evil Empire on the planet, which is still killing the peoples of the planet and is against peace !
Thank you Caitlin, more people need to hear the hard reality, nuclear war isn't an option. In talking with a friend who is like minded, she asked where I thought the probability line was for nuclear war is. I said at the 60% level. She was horrified because we both know what that means. As people in the u.s. ( I am one ) realize the war on Russia is lost and bending the knee of China isn't possible, End Stage Capitalism will trigger the not so creative destruction. The slow decline of the u.s. dollar accelerates the nuclear option. The u.s. since Vietnam has been a hollow paper dollar tiger and now the world knows it and is accelerating it's decline. All of what is happening is a result of the death throes of empire.
I would say that the vast majority of sex workers aren't in it through choice. I think sexual abuse, drug abuse, discrimination and financial reasons probably are major factors. Journalists are well educated and I would say have made some kind of choice to prostitute themselves or not.
My point is that people who become journalists have the privilege of making a conscious choice to do so with its incumbent debt.
People who become sex workers or 'addicts' are often born into poverty or abuse and made a far less freer choice, if a choice at all, to be indebted to their pimps, with no other career options than being in constant mortal danger and being ****ed over and over to make a living.
There’s a lot worse things that go on to make a woman a prostitute. The “wolf packing” rapes that break her down to a piece of meat, the pimps that control every aspect of her life, the enforcers who know “where your parents live”. Stop being nice white middle class people about sex trafficking and admit that this is a male crime against humanity, just for a bit of sex. 🤢🤮
Yes, things unbearable to think about happen to women, men and children in the sex industry, though I think everyone involved including clients who pay for sex or pornography feel the need to do so because of emotional trauma, it's not healthy for anyone.
Less emotional repression and more talking about sex, less judgement of people who experience trauma who self medicate and become drug addicts may be a way forward
It’s certInly a start. It was the basis of much peaceful hippy life in the ‘60’s”
I knew I didn’t have to get married and that I could sleep with whoever, when ever and how ever I wanted to, just like the boys could. It was fun and great and for reasons I’ll never understand, I never got preggers!!!??? Nor a disease. Because I never feared them I guess. We always seem to manifest our fears, so I daily ask that I be protected from my from my fears. I don’t know who is stepping up to do that protecting but so far so good. 🤪
Thank you, I've heard that the 60's brought a wonderful feeling of liberation that those born later don't really understand. You put your finger on the nub saying that you didn't get diseases because you weren't afraid that you would. I believe that the whole 'pandemic', enforcing lockdowns and selling of the jabs has been based on creating fear.
I haven’t forgot this is Easter so happy Easter to everyone if you’re not glad for this day then you need to find why you’re not.
Exactly there is no outrage!!
Millions of thinking Americans realize the MSM are liars. They perceive the lies have been coming for the purpose of thought control for decades yet there’s not enough outrage to power a light bulb.
We say this, we hear it said, and we’ve heard it said multiple ways it’s all about money, follow the money.
And it’s absolutely the truth I may have posted this recently but I repeat then, “our two political parties the R’s and D’s are just two wings of the same vulture.
The RNC wants money. The DNC wants power. The RNC uses power to get money. The DNC uses money to get power. The donor activity of the RNC drives their ideology. The ideology of the DNC drives their donor activity. This is the essential difference in the business models of both wings” quote taken from Sundance at the theconservativetreehouse.com
It’s plain and simple we gotta cut the money off. It’s our money our country it’s our piss poor government that needs to be unplugged.
We need leaders and a plan. Regardless if we are the only ones in the universe or not; it doesn’t matter whether there’s a Creator who manages His creation or not.
It’s all a moot point because I can tell you this:
God is not gonna do for you/us what we can do ourselves.
We done got soft, lazy and confused and rightly so. However, we as a people’s better start thinking right, gets our heads on straight, quit be led like sheep to the slaughter. We need to use our brains hands and what power we have left to tell the government run media to pound sand.
There’s 300 million if only 50% of us that 150 million voices half that again is a mighty number.
What is happening is not going away and it’s not getting better actually all indications are it’s getting harder and harder to breathe.
The idea that humans are the only intelligent life in the universe is the very hubris that got us to this point. And thinking we're the superior species on Earth is demonstrably delusional. We're not even intelligent; an intelligent species doesn't foul its own nest, doesn't destroy its own land base. An intelligent species doesn't wipe itself out. What the intelligentsia and horse-faced academic clods mistake for intelligence is actually congenital insanity. The only difference between humans and the rest of the natural world isn't that humans are uniquely intelligent, but that they're uniquely insane. Perhaps a long overdue acknowledgement of this fact is what is needed to mitigate the rampaging hubris that we operate under? Even a nominal reduction in that conceit would be nominally beneficial. Most tragically, those in power are more captured than anyone else by the hubris embodied in the claim of the superiority of unique human 'intelligence' and the carte blanche it bestows, which places them, more than anyone else, beyond the reach of reason -- and which places the rest of us and the living world in a uniquely grave peril.
I would completely agree accept that we chose the word and beat every other living thing on earth with our superiority of “intelligence”. We can’t now that we are at the pinnacle of “intelligence” and reaping the whirlwind, just change the definition to insanity and sit in our peril. If you look around, some of the least “intelligent” species are the most successful. Mushrooms for instance—extremely successful. And beneficial. 🍄 🤗. What can we learn from them? Or what can we learn from a non-theistic religion (Buddhism) about intuition, personal energy control, consciousness, peace of mind? We have the answers—they are all around us. It just seems to me that we have to stop being so ignorant and relying on our western “The Enlightenment” values, that have gotten us here to this insanity, and it would be good to recalibrate and reach for real enlightenment, personal enlightenment. Then maybe we will stop collectively creating the fertile ground for our “insanity” to flourish in. Here endeth the lesson. 😆😂🤣
Very true. The "Enlightenment" is the most overrated era in human history, and the socio-political/religious/philosophical spawn of its hyper-reductionism and hyper-individualism are what keeps the western world from real enlightenment. In any case, in no case do I suggest we "sit in our peril". :)
Caitlin does have a point though. i.e. We have yet to have complete inarguable proof other intelligent life does exist. Even though the Nimitz incident of UAPs and other incidents do seem to point to possible other intelligent life. But if other Intelligent life does exist, it hasn't literally landed on our planet yet and announced itself to us. Instead we have objects being clearly reported as UAP incidents by credible sources, but if it is intelligent life (or intelligent AI, or robotic scouts) it appears to want to avoid us for now.
There are also some other arguments against the possibility of other Life out there. The question of how life begins is still a huge enigma in science. For one, even though evolutionary science does help explain how life evolves (to some extent) - current evolutionary science does not provide a working, proven theory on how life began. The so-called "primordial soup" theory has gotten nowhere in the scientific lab, and the more scientific knowledge we have accumulated regarding the absurdly complex anatomy of cell structures, DNA, and the question of the required early replication in the exact order required for life itself remains an unresolved one, and ridiculously unlikely *even if* one considers the entire universe as a possible primordial soup of chance interactions.
Are we alone? Each day I find myself leaning more certainly toward the hypothesis that we exist in a simulated universe where a fat 40ish guy with a perpetual 3-day beard sits at a keyboard in a blue lit room surrounded by pizza boxes. To break the monotony he uses a digital cat lazer to make fast moving dots of light here and there in the fake sky. Im sure he uses the same software that the porn gods use to fuck with our minds since they dont have real dicks. I like this hypothesis because it pretty much explains everything.
Well at least Pepperoni pizza exists. Thank the gods or the mechanical Universe for that. It's a mystery though and it seems in this simulation, we don't have a whole lot of control over it. Like you're on a ride, that's going to end sooner then you think. Then what?
To the contrary, if we're the only intelligent life in the Universe, then let's be thankful that it hasn't spread. If we exterminate ourselves, then the problem is solved. Humans aren't capable of transcending our inherent violence and stupidity on the scale that we're at now. We were fine beating each other over the head with clubs, now not so much with nuclear bombs. The evidence is clear. I don't expect a sea change anytime soon.
I think of the MSM as more like strippers than prostitutes. I've never used either, (what use has a cat for either?) but I've known enough of both.
Prostitutes tend to be flatly transactional. This is what you pay, this is what you will get. No sweet nothings or forced flirtation. The presence of a pimp, a real boss lurking ominously in the background makes the analogy more on point.
Strippers are always promising just a bit more, faking empathy and attraction, suggesting that maybe a little more just might be available if you only open your wallet and in the end, leaving you with nothing.
MSM is definitely not prostitutes. The latter get much more respect as they're upfront about what they offer and how much it costs.
And I don't see them as strippers. Only a complete idiot eyeing a stripper would construct any sort of reality from that. Of course, there are plenty of those, but that's not the strippers' fault. They're just there sliding up and down poles. The idiots buy drinks and stuff in the bills.
There’s very little chance that we’re the most intelligent life forms in the universe. The aliens that are likely running things are probably not that smart either...😄
If indeed there are other beings running the show, including our own, your right, they're dumb as hell, or maybe they just lost control and we made this mess on our own.
Love it. Also, raising “intelligent” as the last word in creation is it very smart. All I have to do is look at the horsehead nebula, and I KNOW intelligence is just an evolutionary phase.
I used to think a long time ago that the news media was the worst offender. But I came to the realization that the worst is the public who swallows their narrative whole and craves for more.
No excuse for being fooled anymore. Those people are not fooled, they want what they get.
Thankfully the world is moving on. I hope the post-empire will be better, even if it's not good. Millions of idiots in the collective west won't learn anything, but nobody else gives a single sh*t anymore.
"China must be stopped before it imposes totalitarian diplomacy on Ukraine and authoritarian peace in the middle east."
How dare anyone impose peace on another country! It's like they actually have other peoples' health and welfare in mind. We can't have that sort of compassion thing going on, now can we? Capitalism needs all the wars and conflicts it can get, or else the military industrial complex would cease to exist! And then where would we be... just living in peace and harmony with each other? Ooo, it's all too weird. *sarcasm*
Of course we're not alone in intelligence. We share this very planet with dolphins at least as intelligent as us, and we treat them appallingly putting them in tiny pools and training them to do tricks for our children to enjoy.

Cats.
Echart Tolle says that he has lived with several Zen masters. They've all been cats.

You couldn't find a worse choice in a back alley.
Cats. Cats are highly intelligent. Just ask any cat.
Just did. Cat walked away. I need to shower.
That’s proof! 😁😆
Mrrrwop?
My cat concurs, but insists that you still not feed him any pate can cat food... as it's beneath him. Chunks and shreds only please.
Cats don't think too highly of us- so there you go. They keep us guessing: does the cat like us -or not? And that translates into all kinds of good stuff - for the cat. They play on our vanity and insecurity, need for love from those who withhold it, and our need to be in control. And that's how we're played by everyone else, and ourselves.
Maybe for housecats.

I am going to take "good cat" as a compliment and return a long slow blink.
Well, good luck with that.
It is frustrating. I keep meowing like a fool and the humans babble on about a nice kitty.
Par for the course: nobody understands anybody. Meeee**oowwe^^! Can it be any plainer?
Maybe. What I really think is that cats are here to help us heal from being human.

" . . . a completely false narrative that the US is 'polarized" politically'".
Indeed is it the case for The Power Elite - their Political Class give a false portrayal of their Faux Democracy.

Beautiful! A bit nihilistic but funny none the less!
I think of the MSM as more like strippers than prostitutes. I've never used either, (what use has a cat for either?) but I've known enough of both.
Prostitutes tend to be flatly transactional. This is what you pay, this is what you will get. No sweet nothings or forced flirtation. The presence of a pimp, a real boss lurking ominously in the background makes the analogy more on point.
Strippers are always promising just a bit more, faking empathy and attraction, suggesting that maybe a little more just might be available if you only open your wallet and in the end, leaving you with nothing.

It's good when you dominates. Let's see how they will react once they're not anymore. The country falling apart will be a possibility.

"China must be stopped before it imposes totalitarian diplomacy on Ukraine and authoritarian peace in the middle east."
How dare anyone impose peace on another country! It's like they actually have other peoples' health and welfare in mind. We can't have that sort of compassion thing going on, now can we? Capitalism needs all the wars and conflicts it can get, or else the military industrial complex would cease to exist! And then where would we be... just living in peace and harmony with each other? Ooo, it's all too weird. *sarcasm*
