I feel so lucky to be a human living on earth amongst everyone here. I’m on lunch eating a rice crispy treat watching this.

As a society we are so not ready to expand outside of our planet. We still have way too many people who can't get along with their neighbors who look/act a little different to themselves. How do you think our civilization will respond to an alien that looks like a bug? Shoot on site? Our technological growth is outpacing our spirituality.

As an intergalactic stripper working at the Outlander Club in the Uscru Entertainment District on the planet Coruscant, I've certainly dealt with a few 'Grabby Aliens' in my time

Terence McKenna used to call modern civilization a phase transition between tree dwelling monkeys and star flight. I've always loved that quote.

We’ve had science for about 500 years, and technology keeps accelerating. This is such an unbelievably small amount of time compared to the scale of the universe. Imagine a civilization that’s had a million years to advance their technology. It’d be completely unfathomable to us. Our equipment wouldn’t be able to detect a single trace of their technology because we just wouldn’t be on the same level.

You have to remember when we look at the sky were looking back in time. If we're looking at a star that's 100, 000 light years away then we're seeing what was there a 100, 000 years ago. So just because we can't see anything alien related doesn't mean something hasn't been put there in the 100, 000 year since the light were seeing left its starting point.

As an 👽 that's lived here for 40 years, I have to say, y'all are scary. 👍

This was one of the most interesting things I've ever heard! I think about this stuff all the time and this idea had never crossed my mind! Fascinating guest! I'm glad you had him on. This is why I love this channel!

Man... Lex has the perfect voice and tone to help you fall asleep or immerse yourself in the conversation.

This was like a highly intellectual version of "Who's on 1st"

Not sure why so many people think its weird we don't see any aliens - why should we / how could we? There is only so much our telescopes can see, we haven't even visited/spread across our solar system not to mention surrounding starts. I don't think we are in position to say much about this except that the subject is fun and its fun to speculate wildly. Even a scenario, when faster then light travel is possible, I don't see how we could say nobody is out there, even talking about our own galaxy the Milky way. There could be many civilizations in our own galaxy spanning across even hundreds of light years and I think we still wouldn't know.. necessarily. Sorry, just don't think having Hubble, JWST and other technology we use to observe our pocket of the Universe is enough for us to say anything convincing at this stage.

Man just thinking what is happening and what could happen somewhere out there gives me chills

Imagine if humans were a multi planet / multi solar system species and we were killed off and quarantined to this side of the universe because of our nature.

What if we are a part of a "seeding" program, and more or less "they" are just waiting for us to grow up enough to be able to speak to them?
