wrong, fairies looked like normal or small sized humans that could disappear at will
Sure they did. And people also saw unicorns, flying carpets, talking bears, and beautiful mermaids with flowing red hair, because we all know that Disney movies are documentaries.
Still though, I say this, I support logical founded research, But still, I want to believe in option 2, that's just a more interesting universe though
I study a lot of science, But secretly, I want those fascinating things to occur
We would all love to live in a magical universe. But some people want that so badly that they abandon all reason and lose the capacity to discern reality from fantasy.
I feel like I'm butting in, I'm sorry guys,
You’re not butting in on our conversation – we were having a conversation and then humanoidlord decided to wipe his crazy all over it.
I was just wondering, could not some Advanced technology literally make us see anything they wanted us to though?
Probably. But that would require the presence of that advanced technology, which brings us right back to the ETH.
If I was some other life form interacting on some extraterrestrial planet, Id want others to see things they are natural and comfortable with, especially if I was studying them, Consider if I wanted to study that extraterrestrial species, I couldn't do that if they knew I was literally an alien to them.
I would think that simply employing an invisibility technology would be the best solution in that case.
And since the objects that we see, look and behave nothing like our jets and airplanes – if they’re trying to look innocuous, then they’re doing a really terrible job of it.
This may be digging too deep into supposed psychology for an extraterrestrial race that is purely hypothetical though.
The whole subject of alien psychology is counterfactual. That’s why I prefer to focus on the physics and technology.
To be fair, I'm with you on the possibility of extradimensional life.
I think it’s foolish to believe in extradimensional life (which humanoidlord is totally and fanatically convinced of) when the existence of extra dimensions of reality is still completely devoid of empirical evidence or even a compelling theoretical argument. I don't rule it out completely, but it's a wild stab in the dark at best.
for the record, I'm fully open to the idea of a higher life form than man. I just can't in any way prove that though
In my view the ETH argues that most of the life forms that visit our planet are a higher form of life than man – at least technologically. But probably also biologically and intellectually as well, since the average age of other habitable worlds is 2-3 billions years older than our planet (and we’re barely out of the caves, when looking at timescales like that).
