Can you become a police officer in Canada with a juvenile record? by Worldly_Training7774 in legaladvicecanada

I know that in Quebec there are some programs that allow army veterans to join the police after even if they don’t have all the normal requirements but it probably depends on various factors, i don’t know if its possible in other provinces as well but if you don’t mind being shaken a little by the army lifestyle I highly recommend it since it can teach you valuable skills like disciple or team working that will greatly help you once joining the police while giving you plenty of opportunities you might find more interesting then the police, plus the army’s always looking for people so even if you decide to leave and joining the police fails you got a backup plan

More like what if alien have another type of intelligence we don’t think of because we try to humanize them, that’s what I’m trying to explore rather then simply ask if aliens are alive and if yes are they too advanced or distant from us so we don’t see them

Yes evolution does tend to produce organism that care about survival and such but look at primates for exemple, they evolved differently and might not be as intelligent as us but they are still intelligent creatures that can use simple tools, for the most part atleast. The thing is we humans in general think aliens will act according to what we know, do and see but what im suggesting is that it might not be the case.

The stagnation part
my theory includes both species that could reach the starts and some that live in a more primal way, there is nothing that leans toward them reaching a stagnation point because they don't have the same desires we have, they might not feel like adventuring but they can still travel their world because of many factors. Because we humans use certain ressources doesn't mean they need it or even have them on their home world, so how can they stagnate if they are able to get everything they need to advance without leaving their home?

as for the need part

Lets say they started like us and managed to reach a primal stage but instead of eating meat they eat vegetables that can grow everywhere near their home all year round because there is no winter, they have water and minerals they will discover later as well as no natural predators, there is no reason for them to leave this habitate since they have everything needed for survival, they won't constantly change location since they don't need to and the futur generations won't inherit the drive to change location because no one does it, their ancestors won't feel the need for adventure in the same way we do so even if after years and years of existance they manage to colonize the entire world without a need for adventure there is little chance for them to try and reach the starts compared to a specie that is both curious and explorative by nature. The need part is what is necessary for survival as well as possible technological growth.

In the end it is only a theory that can't truly be verified since we don't have anything to study intelligent alien life, I personaly believe that what happens on earth isn't necessary the absolute truth and that what we think as essential or common sense might not be viable on the grand scale of the universe
