The whole talk is worth listening to. I share his opinion of our place in the cosmos, and it’s a humbling, lonely outlook but at the same time invigorating and inspiring.

… ALL Fear based messaging is a power trip … Remember that,
… Our LOVE is ONLY Ever EQUAL to our HUMILITY and our GRATITUDE, for our CONFIDENCE and our PROWHESS. And IT-IS that WILL, that WILL STABILISE OUR LOVE, so,
… LOVE, Bless Ev’er’y One. LOVE Bless Ev’er’y Thing, In Ev’er’y Way … for, and
… CONSCIOUSNESS is the only frontier
… ADDICTIONS are the only reality
… ENLIGHTENMENT is the only game, &,
IGNORENCE is the only impediment ???? …

Why is this ridiculous question still being asked?
There’s overwhelming evidence that aliens have been coming here for a very long time.
The questions we should asking are which ones are good and which ones are bad & what do they want?

The Universe is starting to become an awfully boring place. We need a livable dimension of tactile fantasy.

Humans perceive and appreciate life only when it resonates with the same frequency and vibration as the known universe. Beyond our understanding, countless planes and universes coexist at different frequencies. Occasionally, phenomena occur where these planes intersect, suggesting the existence of portals that may allow some to traverse between them.

The Universe is so huge that there could be millions of intelligent life forms scattered about it with out any ever crossing paths or even suspecting their existence. Time is another factor to alien life interaction being that the Universe exists over billions of years so the rise and fall of life forms in that time period is understandable in fact one civilization might reach it’s zenith and fade away hundreds of millions of years before another is beginning to develop.

1. Because we don’t have equipment that can zoom in on other planets or given points in space yet, and
2. Because advanced intelligences wouldn’t stick around in clunky, accident-prone material forms when they don’t have to.

Because we have weak tech, given the size of the galaxy. And no, you do not need the Goldilocks zone, as there are various other situations where life can exist. And then there’s life as we DON’T know it… which of course, we don’t even know to look for.
Silliness. Our lack of data is not data. And he should know that.

We have only recently crawled out of caves and we’re just not smart enough yet to detect life on other planets.
It’s likely that an advanced civilisation would not be using radio technology to communicate. So look as much as we like it’s not very likely we’ll detect other civilisations by listening in on the electromagnetic spectrum.
