After official contact, it is not just common, but actually CERTAIN that

Heavens beware! ;-

Within less than 800 years, they can generally master our technology and
become a truly crucial member of our build/explore affinity.

800 years is not enough time to prevent them from abusing it.

It is the easiest thing in the galaxy for humans to absorb that it is
"assertiveness" rather than "aggressiveness" that truly SPURS them on.
And assertiveness is highly respected in the universe!

It is?

Yes, there have been many times in the past explorations of humans that
ended tragically.

Fact!
Sometimes it was due to aggression from the higher technology, who wanted
things like gold and other wealth, sometimes tragedy would be accidental,
as
in the explorers unknowingly inflicting a fatal microorganism on the
lesser-technology indigenous peoples, and sometimes it would be both.

Bringing the pest in woolen blankets hasn't been "accidental".

But we have seen otherwise, which is why we know that humans are also
capable of benevolence.

Must be their heritage from Neanderthal men ..

If we didn't know this for certain, we wouldn't waste time studying
humans.

Well I would not call it a waste of time, rather "amusement" :-))

We would just do our duty, mainly to explore this area of the galaxy,
continue to view Earth as an oasis and take care of it, and wait to see
how
human aggressiveness mixed with a quickly growing technology would
eventually end.

Ok.

This is a highly volatile condition, simply due to the fact that
technology
generally precedes true understanding of that technology.
Societies can build things using trial and error, and when they've built
something that makes them go "WOW", it is only then that they try to
understand all the details about the construction.

I prefer people to be able to understand the technology - not simply use
it.

Like modern computers -- much of the technology of computing comes from
findings in quantum mechanics.
And yet humans still have little understanding of that minuscule area of
inquiry.
Most people figure that if they can turn the thing on and off, and usually
get what they want just by pressing a few buttons, that's all they need to
know.

Yes, this is exact the problem!

The engineers are, of course, more knowledgeable than the average person,
but as I said, even they have little understanding of much of the theory
behind what makes those computers make people go "WOW".

Nobody should be "allowed" to use a computer or a car without knowing
how it works.

There are many exceptions to the tragic endings of human exploration of
Earth.

Tell me more...!

Just not many historically recorded ones.
Go ahead, Charles, can you take a STAB at just why that might be?

Stab? According to Webster's that's
1: a wound produced by a pointed weapon
2: a thrust of a pointed weapon

Thanks for the insight. But you have to lighten up, like take your OCD
meds.
You asked three very idiotic and hypothetical questions and I replied
in kind.

Proves that "Seans" are totally devoid of any sense of humor.
However, your inane rambling reveal a core of pure Liberalism.

Just for your info: to date we haven't even found a habitable exo-planet,
much
less figured out a way to get there. At the rate we are going, we won't
really
have to worry about it, since in all likelihood we'll do each other in,
long
before we can do it to anyone else.


More's the pity.

I agree, but when there is little time, 70 - 75 years or so, then this leads
to the age of the specialist.
Now you can see why people like to learn our way of extending the life span.
When one lives a long time, one has time to master a variety of tasks, each
one making her or him a more important asset to their society.

I do hope you meant to be funny, especially with situation number 2!



But doesn't that describe pretty well the human pattern in the past
when a more technologically advance culture has encountered a less
advanced culture? The conquest of the Americas by Europeans and
displacement of their less advanced inhabitants is the biggest and
best example.


Let's take a closer look at number 1:

Beat a hasty retreat. *Hope they haven't taken notice of us. *Remember
that discretion is the better part of valor. *Plan ways of spying on

By the time you have gotten close enough to realize that society's higher
technology, they would in all probability have safeguards in place and are
already aware of you.
They would probably even be able to figure out where you hail from.
Suppose they decide just to monitor you and your ship to see what you will
do next.
Then you "beat a hasty retreat".
How do you suppose that other society would then categorize you?
They easily catch up to you and take you back to their planet.
You don't know whether they're benevolent or belligerent.

What do you do?

You are right. It is a lose-lose situation whatever we do unless the
alien civilization turns out to be benevolent, and considers our
actions even at their baddest as capable of at most causing them an
annoyance.

Or, perhaps we simply plan on being detected and eaten alive by hungry

According to our Darla Rothschild, there's lots of satanic bad ones
out there.

the dinosaurs, who were here for tens of millions of years, rather than to

Perhaps an ET "happy meal" simply isn't kosher id it includes human
body parts.

Zionist/Jewish satanic rituals supposedly never directly consumed
human flesh, although some may have tried just for the fun of it.
Nowadays they just extract their various organs and resell them to the
highest bidders.

Come to think of it, can anyone find a passage in scripture, either
Christian or Jewish, where consumption of human flesh is prohibited?
Usually if something isn't specifically forbidden in scripture, we can
assume that God approves and encourages it!

ZNRs and those Rothschilds approve of anything (no matters how satanic
or debauchery worthy) that keeps them rich and powerful. As others
and I've often said before; follow the money, as well as there's
usually a blood trail to follow.
