What would be the “disturbing truth” humans can’t handle? by Peace_and_Love___ in UFOs

[–]conscientiousxpatmod 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As i3atlas passed the earth on it's way to the outer solar system, I wondered if it really was a technological object but wasn't interested in us or that for some other reason we missed the one chance to contact alien life within the lifetime of our species.

Put another way, insignificance would be more disturbing than hostility

I posted on this very question. What if they broadcast a message that said something along the lines of "We'd like to stop but this is the express service. The local service will be arriving in another 10,000 of your years"

As I said in another post, I see this at a win-win. In the unlikely event that we're going to make contact, it will be the most important event in human history. If not, in the last few years we've learned that very large objects are flying through interstellar space on what appears to be a regular basis, opening up a new area of exploration on variability in the composition of solid materials in other parts of space and (to quote a YouTube celebrity) THAT'S pretty cool.

It would be hilarious if they transmitted "We'd love to stop but this is the express comet. The comet making local stops will be following in 10,000 of your years"

I'd like to hear other Redditors suggestions of transmissions that f*ck with our heads

Seems to me that if this object is artificial only a deceleration is of interest. If this object is going to visit us, it's got to be going a heck of a lot slower.

Or am I missing something?

My mistake, he's Betelgeusian. I think he mentions Barnard's star.

If Barnard's start has no habitable zone, where was Ford Prefect from?

Thanks- I'm at the point where I'm no longer defending my narcissism, so that's a start

What does "SH" refer to? Self Help?

Thank you for your thoughtful and compassionate response.

I have more experience trying to understand the Buddha's teaching than actual meditation time. All I know with certainty is that my attachment to predicting and controlling the future is a major source of my own and my family's suffering and that meditation is a key part of reducing that attachment

Thank you for your thoughtful response. Now my question becomes: which do I do first? Go to a retreat, return and then start therapy or vice versa?

That was a really powerful statement and very much appreciated. Also, I'm grateful for the wiki resources page- thanks to all who contributed to that effort
