Prologue… I was watching Blue Planet II with my son this morning and couldn’t help but think about all of the things going on and the fight for people to even be open-minded about NHI Life + Tech. This was just something I felt would be fun to discuss.
Also, I am nobody of scientific or educational significance, I just enjoy thinking, theorizing and understanding things better from many perspectives : ) Below are some questions I asked myself, and how I answered them, not intended to change your mind or prove anything, so have fun with it!
Is believing that NHI Beings exist actually a challenge of significance to people?
I postulate, based on the life that exists on our planet today, that it really isn’t THE showstopper for people. I mean, just watch a video on ocean life… the invertebrates, mollusks, deep water life are alienlike life to what we know on land. Take a cuddlefish for example. It sure looks strange, but it also has an ability to instantly flashes colors like LEDs, and can change its appearance/colors to hide from predator or prey.
Is believing it’s been here all along and we just didn’t know about it even THE significant challenge for our brains?
Again, how can THAT be. We hear of new species discovered all the time on our planet. And whatsmore, we readily accept it through written media or word of mouth that has gone through many other levels of hearsay before reaching us. I’ve never seen someone go online to blast the existence of the 7 new lizard species of xyz island because they have never seen it.
PS – I know we have very sparse video/picture evidence like we do of a crawling new lizard. But I don’t see anyone checking that lizard pic/vid wasn’t CGI! lol
Okay, so maybe its that these NHI encounters break the laws of physics that we know, right? They blink in and out on people that witness them, and other have never seen them at all.
Well, I go back to the previous Q/A’s…
We know/accept that there are creatures that hide in plain sight. They have just evolved to “disappear” with some form of camouflage, shape/form change, color control etc. We know/accept that there are undiscovered creatures and entire species on this planet we have yet to see. We also know AND READILY ACCEPT, on word alone, that many creatures are newly discovered each year. This despite having never seen these creatures, or having heard of them before. And we trust this because… it came from… a… reliable… source?
So, is THAT the burden of proof necessary for doubters? The information must enter the individual’s brain from a curated set of sources the individual considers a reliable? i.e. a book by a certain author, a favorite news program or Elon Musk!?
That kind of makes sense. But, still, not everyone needs someone to tell them things are real. Could it be something deeper… like a long, long history of social influencing through media that the idea of UFOs, NHI, etc is all ridiculous non-sense. That you are silly or crazy to believe it. If THAT is the real mental hurdle, the fear of being labeled and ostracized, that’s quite tricky.
If that was it, it’s not so much a matter of making people believe these things are real (to be fair, if they are real). But, it’s convincing people that all the years they spent prior trusting people, institutions and media that were supposed to teach them were either wrong or lying. They would have to face questioning a lot in their past leading to the person they are today… wouldn’t they?
What do you think? Is there another reason people push hard against all of this? As this seems to be a bigger topic of discussion these days (IMO) than prior, could it be because people (on a larger scale) are starting to think more for themselves and be less trusting of large institutions? Maybe being pulled out of the societal norms via COVID even played a role?
I find this to be such a fascinating time for humanity. For me, it’s fun and interesting to think about all of it from, not only a scientific discovery perspective, but also sociologically. I hope you find some fun in it too!
