Mind Blown! Machine Elves dance around the Fermi paradox

The Fermi paradox (or Fermi's paradox) is the apparent contradiction between high estimates of the probability of the existence of extraterrestrial civilization and humanity's lack of contact with, or evidence for, such civilizations. The basic points of the argument, made by physicists Enrico Fermi and Michael H. Hart, are: 
  • The Sun is a young star. There are billions of stars in the galaxy that are billions of years older; 
  • Some of these stars likely have Earth-like planets which, if the Earth is typical, may develop intelligent life; 
  • Presumably some of these civilizations will develop interstellar travel, a technology Earth is investigating even now; 
  • At any practical pace of interstellar travel, the galaxy can be completely colonized in just a few tens of millions of years. 
According to this line of thinking, the Earth should have already been colonized, or at least visited. But no convincing evidence of this exists. Furthermore, no confirmed signs of intelligence elsewhere have been spotted, either in our galaxy or the more than 80 billion other galaxies of the observable universe. Hence Fermi's question "Where is everybody?". 


From the Psychonaut Subreddit: All I'm saying is... Machine Elves.

Joe Rogan Experience #331 Steven Greer



Joe Rogan dot com
http://siriusdisclosure.com/


Thanks Cam for the link! I'm gonna check out more of Joe Rogan's podcasts, I really enjoyed that. Even though I've no idea how much Greer can be believed about anything. I'm not really impressed with their tiny alien either. Btw if anyone can find the evidence Greer mentions on that sirius disclosure site please tell me where cause I'm not finding anything.

Terence McKenna - Evolving Times 1995



What's fascinating and disturbing is that McKenna's thoughts are still a great indication of how we probably should evolve as a society.

NOTE: The ending is cut a couple minutes short because the camera ran out of film.

TekGnostics

Your search has taken you far and wide through-out cyberspace...
Your travels have been exhaustive...
You have left more than one search engine in a pile of smoking rubble...
Your quest... Wisdom. Inner substance.
A tool to help make sense of the modern world.
An artifact of heart and reason.
The data-stream wind is blowing up here...
Nestled atop a mountainous network core sits the digitized monastery.
As you reverently open the seemingly ancient gates,
you are subdued by the smell of incense...
Or is that burning circuitry?


"The Matrix that can be spoken of, is not the eternal Matrix.
The name Matrix is not its essence.
That which shall remain nameless was the genesis of Universe.
The so-called Matrix may be described as the network of all things.

So... rid yourself of desire in order to realize Universal mystery.
Allow yourself to have desire in order to experience Universal manifestation.
These two are essentially the same, but diverge in the naming.
Mystery upon Mystery... the gateway to Tek-Gnostics."

Psychedelic Salon RAW Podcast “The Acceleration of Knowledge”

Psychedelic Salon Robert Anton Wilson Podcast “The Acceleration of Knowledge”

[After giving a brief overview of history]
"So there is a definite acceleration in history."

"If you take history as starting on this planet at midnight and you assume the life of the planet is 15 billion years, which is the estimated life of a G-type star, it is now eight o’clock in the morning, and it’s time for us to wake up."

"There was only one Buddha twenty-five hundred years ago, and now you meet five or ten Buddhas in every city you go to."

"Knowledge, wherever it’s discovered, is traveling over the whole world faster and faster. So the movement of knowledge and power from East to West over the last several thousand years has now become an oscillation in which the knowledge is circling the globe faster and faster."

"The general pattern is that religious stupidity exists for millenniums, political stupidity exists for centuries, scientific stupidity exists only for generations before it gets cured."

"No matter what reality tunnel you live in, the world will organize itself in your perceptions to be compatible with that reality tunnel."

"So quantum physics turned out to be saying exactly the same thing that the psychedelic revolution was saying, that there is no objective reality separate from us. All we know is the reality that we are co-creators of. The reality perceived, conceived, created, put together by our nervous systems."

Jacque Fresco: Future By Design clip


Jacque Fresco: Future By Design clip

A must see documentary, check out the Jacque Fresco label for more.

"We talk about civilisation as though it's a static state, and there are no civilised people yet. It's a process that's constantly going on. As long as you have war, police, prisons, crime, you're in the early stages of civilisation, or what they call civilisation." Jacque Fresco

"All the marvels and wonders of technology can amount to nothing unless it elevates humans to their highest potential, this is the aim of the Future by Design. " Jacque Fresco

Vibrators to replace dildo phallic symbols in cities

Vibrators to replace dildo phallic symbols in cities

Nevermind that Jacque Fresco's work at the Venus Project already foresaw similar buildings too, again. Is every fucking architect gonna copy his designs to produce luxury buildings for the rich fucks instead of using it for the benefit of all like Fresco intended? They will start building one in Dubai next year. Kinda odd isn't it, Iraq doesn't seem to get rebuild, but Dubai sure does. More Mordor resonating with the towers in the image too. Where the hell is Aragorn when you need him?

Vincent Callebaut's Luxurious Floating Ecopolis

Check out Belgian Vincent Callebaut's floating ecopolis. Freshome talks about the project about being a possible solution to rising sea levels, unfortunately this is a luxury retreat for 50.000 (rich) people. I feel Jacque Fresco's Venus Project which has similar-looking water projects (and many more) but focuses on using a resource based economy is a better solution than that by far but it's great to see more of these projects.
