Only time will tell if we all fall off the edge of the earth or if we soar into outer space and live happily ever after.
I’m guessing all of my readers have heard of the Great Reset by now. But what about the Great Filter?
The Great Filter is a possible solution for the Fermi paradox. Okay, so, what’s the Fermi paradox?
The apparent conflict between the fact that humans have found no evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life despite the probability that it exists, given what we know about the universe.
“What we know about the universe”, they say, as if they know a lot? That’s a funny one, since, as I point out in my previous essay, The New World Religion of Transhumanism:
In our galaxy, the Milky Way, there are 400 billion stars that we know of. There are about 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe. So, there could be—who knows how many more? That means that presently we are aware of 2 trillionth of one 400 billionth of the solar system.
And yet scientists would have us believe they “know a lot.” Well, they claim to know a lot about a lot of things. But their so-called knowledge is often based on stories made up in a scientist’s mind—or a funder’s mind, who stands to earn billions off of related products if the story proves to be “true”. The scientist then sets out to prove the story with all the enthusiasm of a religious zealot.
