Richard Dolan, on our need for collective self-reflection as we face the alien presence. 👽 "Here's another scenario, because I love to speculate about this. So what if these beings have an IQ of like 500+. Like they’re orders of magnitude beyond us. And they're telepathic, so they can crawl inside your mind. And they're part of their own hive mind so that they have instant access to a complete like encyclopedia, a Galactica Encyclopedia of information. And they have an emotional disposition that makes it so that maybe they don't laugh at all of your jokes. And they look at you and they can see your naked soul before them. So does it matter if they look human or not? If you're sitting in a room across from one of them and they're just staring at you? Well, that would be very intimidating, I think. And that doesn't strike me as impossible a scenario. "So if they are like that, we are going to have to find our own center of being. I mean, some people might think this sounds very wishy washy, but I've really come to believe that it is probably essential that, for us to deal with them, we need to have a very much better understanding of ourselves. "For example, think of the kind of society that we create. Constant stimulation. Constant screen attachment. Screen addiction. Waiting for the notifications. Bing bing bing. The endorphins. And we're constantly chasing, chasing after whatever we're chasing in this world of ours. Like the hamster wheel that you never get off of. That's the world for many of us. That is not a society conducive to self-examination and self-exploration. When you are dealing with a series of intelligences that are probably leaps and bounds beyond our operational capacity to begin with. "So if we're going actually to deal with them in any way that's meaningful, we probably need to just stop and engage in some seriously deep self-reflection about what we are. And then maybe that means spirituality, like it probably does, to be honest. And the kind of system that we've developed in our world, I just, at this point in my life, I don't think is all that conducive to us being able to effectively, psychologically relate to these other beings."
