Sentience, high intelligence are evolutionary flukes, and are not required for a species to be successful. Humans asspecies are unique and relatively young. There is a high chance that even if life sprouted somewhere else in the universe that it is:A) non sentientB) millions of years from even a possibility of sentienceSo why is there so much talk about aliens? More improbable than ghosts and monsters even, especially in this cartoonish grey/green humanoid form
>>42366150It is wrong to lie.
>>42366168Wrong.
>>42366194Lier (checkmate!!).
>Sentiencesapience, illiterate
>>42366210Literally chose to nitpick some word instead of addressing the point
>>42366150in-fact, sentience is below-averge in terms of evolutionary advantages. its a massive energy tax. ants, bacteria, bamboo... these are the true masters of evolutionary success. they have higher total biomass, individual counts and a longer legacy of survival and long-term adaptation. they integrate the benefits of intelligence without going needlessly overboard. they have little systems integrated that automate themselves without needing maintenance. the human brain however has the highest potential to evolve into something greater - but, the chances are slim. maybe the archons running our simulation try to figure out how sentience could evolve through our simulation.
>>42366150the hard truth 99% of alien sensationalists don't want to admit is that if aliens truly exist it is INFINTELY more likely to at best be low forms of life such as arthropods or lizards and at worst micro organisms than anthropomorphic grey fucks,as you said we are the result of the greatest improbability of the universe and anyone who pretends that sentient, let alone technologically ADVANCED forms of life exist either 1)doesn't know shit about what he is talking about 2)talks with vibes rather than facts
>>42366256because you didn't have a point, and someone posting anime whores is the sort of person that doesn't deserve a serious reply
>>42366440everyone knows what they meant by sentience please stop being so autistic
>>42366446look who's talking, anime fagand no, everyone doesn't know the difference
>>42366450wdym anime fag
>>42366450 oh I meant to reply to the guy with the anime pic mb
>>42366501>the pointwhich one then, anime fag? the gibberish materialist view of intelligence or the smug anthropocentric self-assurance about being the only species in the 50 centillion galaxies with 'sentience'?you weren't even asking anyone to address those, the Op is just a dumb rhetorical question about why anyone talks about aliensmaybe the answer is cuz all the evidence suggests they exist and you humans aren't so goddamn special
>>42366150What? On earth alone there are several different branches of life that have evolved high intelligence. Crows and octopi aren't even mammals
>>42366614That’s just a few species And even though they’re “intelligent” it’s nowhere near the capabilities of humans, and there is no telling if given millions of years they would evolve further. Now ask yourself, over the course of millions of years only 1 (singular) species gets to a level of not even normal cosmic travel, we’re still bound to earth. And considering the perfect conditions that even allow us to leave our planet in the first place, how likely it is that there are other perfect conditions in the vast universe? And how likely are they on the technological level to be intergalactic civilization? And even if all stars are aligned, how likely do they look like funny green/gray humanoids? And even if they are… how likely for them is to probe your anus and then let you go?Glorp my life into pieces nigga
>>42366150>WhyBecause you roll the dice on a fluke enough times and it sticks. If all the variables line up even close enough, it's going to happen. Just like if you know the recipe to turn hydrogen and oxygen into water, and actually follow the recipe, you get water 100% of the time.If the conditions for sentience and sapience arise, they arise.The universe doesn't give two shits about our probabilities. With how many dice rolls the universe can pull off, that just makes it even more likely. It's really that simple.
>>42366634It’s more of a simple understanding that we’re extremely isolated and finding us in the vast emptiness of space is nigh impossible, and reaching us is even harder. Everything we observe is fucking impossible to live on, and a few “promising” planets are thousands of light years away, and those planets are also not without caveats Mind you, I would also love the universe to be bustling with life, but the grim reality is, we’re likely very alone for a very long time
Lying is wrong. There fore, you are wrong when you are lying. Am I telling the truth?Meck chate.
>>42366626>That’s just a few species"Just a few species" on one fucking planet completely destroys the argument that intelligence is an SSSSR trait cosmically. You're not very bright if you don't understand that
>>42367355A few species out of BILLIONS over the course of MILLIONS OF YEARS on a HIGHLY RARE AND UNIQUE PLANET that not only supports that kind of life in all its variety, but also has a set of characteristics that makes it even possible for us to leave the atmosphere. And you’re telling me that literal humanoid gray aliens be like ayy lmaooo and come from the planet Nibiru quadrillion light years away but somehow have tech that we can comprehend and use flying saucers to move around, put probes in asses and maim cows for some reason. In other words, are you niggas stupid or stupid?
>>42366501I apologize, anon. I was drunk and angry about everything happening to me last night. It was not meant for you.
>>42366150That meme is correct
Nuts
>>42366150Ayys are real, but they look way closer to us than we are tend to believe by movies. Horse girls (Umas) like Gold Ship are more likely to exist in this universe than reptilians.
