Have you ever considered a hive mind?


A species that operates like insects, working for the collective.

A few highly intelligent big bugs, controlling a large number of less intelligent bugs who could be bigger/smaller, but who obey the smart bugs commands?

We already know that ants obey/operate under the control of their queen.

If you had a really big smart bug, with a large brain(perhaps the queen) she could see long term into the future, and decrease her breeding or tell other insects to die off for the group(which they would out of obedience to their mind controlling queen).

Such a group of large, highly intelligent insects could advance to create an advanced civilization. They wouldn't be very nice as they would see as at most food or something to study, but they might advance to that level.

Anyways, just a thought.

What if a race of aliens lives on a planet with two suns? (like many star systems in the galaxy)

The added bonus of two solar inputs could provide them with 24/7 access to abundant solar power.

They would be perfectly capable of running their electrical grid off of solar power.

We just get screwed on planet earth, being stuck with a mono-solar star system.

Here is a thought. Maybe we are it. If we screw it up thats it.

Tyler - you and I finally agree on something.

Excellent!!

There is peak oil doomer pessimism and then there is just plain "My Chemical Romance" type emo whining. (Do you call emo's emo's in the states? *unsure*) I think extrapolating our current short term condition to a universe of billions of galaxies is a wee bit the latter.

Glad to see you posted those fakes...now let's bring on the real art work for comparison bro!















And those were just a few from the 2007 season.

Nuff said.

In a world where millions suffer from hunger, why are we intentionally destroying crops for the sake of art?

I think that sort of behavior is reprehensible.

As for binary star systems being unfavorable to life, I've seen evidence to the contrary.

It doesn't particularly matter though.

There aren't any advanced alien civilizations in our immediate area (we would have noticed them by now).

I know they exist somewhere but we just can't detect them because they are too far away.

Roccland, you caught me.

I know very little about crop circle formation.

I was under the impression farmers hated it because their crops were damaged as a result.

Regardless, is it not harder to harvest crops that have been pushed down on the ground?

(this side conversation is a distraction from the issue at hand. Namely, whether or not advanced aliens died out as a result of an oil shortage)
