is there intelligent life out there? Featuring Marc Andreessen and Lex Fridman...

So is there intelligent life out there in the universe?

As of July 2023, there are various rumours of disclosures concerning UFO investigations that will confirm contact has been made. But nothing conclusive so far. In fact, the Congress hearings seem to have been arranged as a smoke screen for embarrassing revelations concerning US politicians families and other awkward earthbound truths... 


So first we need to find intelligent life on this planet...
Famous telly Professor Brian Cox tweeted:
"I keep being asked what I make of the UFO thing in Congress yesterday, so here it is: I watched a few clips and saw some people who seemed to believe stuff saying extraordinary things without presenting extraordinary evidence. Therefore I have nothing more to say, other than: It would be great if true - it would take a bit of the pressure off our civilisation if we weren’t the only means within the Milky Way by which the Universe understands itself. Sadly, as of today, I still feel that pressure, so can we perhaps focus on not messing our world up rather than hoping that, to paraphrase Sagan, someone will float down to save us from ourselves..."

Come along now, chaps...  we are some 10,000 years into a civilisation that has always believed in at least one sky fairy of some sort. The nearest we've come to thinking around this problem whilst retaining a faint lifeline with Newtonian physics, was the wormhole in folded space concept (Stargate?), otherwise we are pretty much stuck waiting for those "things that are not dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio" to manifest themselves. Fermi paradox time...  

The only other conclusion, when you have dismissed the impossible Sherlock, is that we are already subject to aliens everywhere on this planet, but they are advanced and smart enough to know how to stay out of shot, and control the population and narrative. 

Maybe the insertion of Joe Biden as president of the USA is an experimental and extreme test of their theory that we are a fatally stupid tribal race that can be conned to put up with absolutely bl**dy anything?
 
One of the best debates I have seen on the subject of positioning AI is this 3 hour session between
Netscape web pioneer Marc Andreessen and Lex Fridman on the Future of the Internet, Technology, and AI Podcast #386
