A common argument, no, a discussion I have, is about the inherent flaw in the musings of humans regarding the idea that "we" are the only intelligent lifeforms in the universe. "How arrogant!", I exclaim. "We're not even all that advanced, for crying out loud. We can't even power our vehicles efficiently with anything other than billions of years old decayed animal and plant sludge! And never mind the peeps in our so-called "third-world" countries. Do you REALLY think there are pieces of another race relegated to starvation in a world where they can travel through space?"
Sidebar: Um...we COULD actually help "those people" MOVE out of the desolate and secluded arid terrain that doesn't support food growth of any kind instead of dumping bags of rice on their heads. Maybe...just a thought.
Yeah, my "discussions" sometimes get a little heated.
My point is: Our "developed race" (developmentally challenged, I challenge) has an awfully closed collective mind. We even have to attach a word to the vastness that our brains can't wrap around - Universe.
In the event that anyone ever even reads this blog, watch the video below and try, just try to begin to understand the human race's innate ability to underestimate...everything.

I read your post the other day, (loved it) but didn't watch the video until now. It's mind-numbing how much there is beyond our ability to see it. Again, I am reminded that we simply cannot be the only intelligent life in this cosmos. I mean, we're supposed to be the superior race? Look around. Take notes. Absurd.

Amen!! There's seems to be precious few of us out here that have the ability to thoughtfully process information and come to a conclusion that's reasonable instead of common. Thank you!
