I'd love to burn one with Elon. That would be an awesome conversation.

Not to stray too far off topic, but considering how unlernid I am, my mind always drifts to the actual room and setting these kinds of things are discussed.

Does this happen via emails, or hand-written letters, or a bunch of guys sitting around a pool in Hawaiian shirts with cocktails. Or is it a more modern setting like some dank basement with a weed smoke haze, gaming computers all lit up? Or is it a 60's boardroom like a scene from Apollo 7? And how much do these guys get paid to probe the deepest corners of their imagination for years to come up with this stuff?-WW
Id like to think there is a pretty broad group of individuals already preselected to covene in case of super beyond normal events.. Ever read The Andromeda Strain? Soemthing like that...

If anything they'd either stay far away or wipe us from existence as the failed experiment we turned out to be, and we'd never see that coming. No biggie.

Then there's this:
In the 5 gazillion years of earth history, people have only been here a tiny tiny bit of that time.
If there be life on a planet like ours, chances are they would be dinosaurs and would just want to eat us. But dinosaurs can't travel at many times the speed of light so I ain't loosing sleep over it.
I think advanced beings who stumbled on us would think we're some kind of deadly bacteria or virus particle needing eradication.

Maybe they already have.

I used to think that too, until I watched the Covid response world-wide from our "betters." Now I"m not so sure we can get our acts together...at all.

I had imbedded Hudson yelling "game-over" from Alien's. However, deleted it with all the harsh language (forgot that part). You'll just have to hit up Youtube for Hudson Aliens game-over. It fit these post's perfectly, perfectly. Damn, miss that actor, liked watching him from day one.-WW

ps. It would make complete sense that Bigfoot has one of those drives strapped to his big hairy arm, and why he seems to pop in and out and is normally blurry on photos.
Now I'm wondering what Frame Slipping is.
