“The Problem with ‘Non-Human Intelligence’: A Proposed Replacement”

It seems no one truly knows what we are dealing with regarding the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena – not us, not Congress, not even experts like Grusch. There’s a general air of uncertainty about the exact nature of these phenomena (personally, I suspect it’s not just one thing). Currently, the term used is “Non-Human Intelligence” (NHI), but some of the more compelling theories challenge this classification. For instance, the time traveler theory posits that these entities might be humans from our future, which would make NHI a misnomer. Then there’s the hybrid theory, which suggests that humans might be part-hybrids created by another intelligence. If this were true, it could fundamentally alter our understanding of what is ‘human’ and ‘non-human.’ The contributors to human evolution in this context might be seen as part-human, effectively blurring the distinction between the two categories. The crux of this argument is that since these entities are part of our ancestry, they could be considered an extension of humanity, rendering the term NHI inapplicable.

In response to these considerations, I propose a new term: “Beyond-Common Intelligence” (BCI). “Beyond-Common Intelligence” effectively captures the concept of intelligence that falls outside our conventional educational content, scientific understanding, or general societal awareness. It includes those intelligences that may originate from advanced extraterrestrial civilizations, other dimensions, or any form of life or consciousness that is not currently encompassed by our common knowledge. This term advocates for the recognition and acceptance of the potential for discoveries and understandings that are outside our existing frameworks. While the extent to which terminology can compel those allegedly concealing the truth is uncertain, using a term like “Beyond-Common Intelligence” aims to leave as little room as possible for obfuscation.
