Why is it automatically assumed that alien technology will be far better than ours? Maybe this is the best it gets.

I think it's because most hypothetical encounters involve them coming to Earth. To get from wherever they're from to here would necessitate far greater technological advancement.

This.... even at our level of space flight, if you even came from a nearby solar system at the speeds we can manage now, it would take a huge amount of time, so you would need to be in some advanced form of hibernation (technology we don't have) or you would need a self-sustaining ship capable of supporting generations of life on board during the journey (technology we don't have)..... or they would need some form of space flight that is far faster than anything we have, again better tech than ours.

Unless they put one of their "people" in a capsule and the corpse gets here in like 500 years or longer, its unlikely we are going to encounter any alien life with the same level of technology as we have.

Aliens will take one look at the crazy shit going on here and find another planet to take over.

I am pretty sure if they came here to "take over" they would give zero fucks about how messed up we are.... they can wipe us out all the same and then exploit the resources they want.

Unless people is the resource they came for..... Stargate Atlantis nerds know wut I mean.

What's everyones thoughts on Cryonics? Pretty much incase some don't know, it means that you sign up and pay to be frozen in the hopes in years and years from now you can be brought back to life.

Me? Personally? I think that's a cool way of looking at something. I mean, shit.. Gonna die either way: What's wrong with being a little optimistic and ballsy enough to want to come back 100s and 100s of years from now.

Could be lonely. Then again, I wouldn't care. Meet new friends lol

Could be a dark future, though. By that time, Earth will probably have been conquered by a superior life form, then they stumble upon your cryonically frozen body and decide to revive you. If they're nice, then you'll be someone's pet, otherwise, you'll be someone's slave, or maybe someone's food.

I never got mad at you in the PMs that was genuine fear and worry, it's not funny at all. You claim to know nothing yet here you are ... You all win HHM, you all win.

NIck, i have nothing to do with any of this shit you are saying. I literally just read the thread you created about your happenings.

I don't visit adult chat rooms. I have never done anything remotely "sinister" on the internet. Nobody I "know" on the internet has said anything about trolling, stalking or whatever in the manner you described. Believe me that if someone did, I would certainly try to help you reconcile this whole thing. But stop trying to put me into this whole mess of yours. I see this shit again and I will appeal for your ban.
