Right, so that was Fab Morvan from Milli Vanilli, doing the music and total production of that last music vid. Brilliant genuine musician.
Who can doubt the authenticity of The Monkees? Mike Nesmith wrote and produced songs for Michael Jackson, Lionel Ritchie, and others and is still active in the business now at 78. The Monkees were almost the exact reverse of the Milli Vanilli situation, because they were designed as no more than a television program group of actors play-acting a pop group. And then a large market actually gravitated to them knowingly anyway - and it turned out they really could sing and play very well which made them a huge commercial success as an actual live performing act. Their drummer was not originally trained as a drummer, but that didn't stop him becoming way good enough either, along the journey.
...So, the point was raised 'but why should any truly advanced ET Alien group coming here, and possessing so much more advanced technology than we have right now, require a contract, or need to have any kind of contract with us?'
Well okay, let me say this from my best best and direct 'understanding' let's call it - they don't really have a contract that they intend or need to abide by from their side of things. But yes there is an actual agreement, and some circles including in the military who have very great power and a wide brief well know about it and align many things they are doing up with their side of that particular specific bargain.
Laura Eisenhower is not completely wrong...
But she hasn't answered the basic question either. Okay maybe you're telling us 'the truth' Laura, as you know it, but still - why? That is, why the agreement/contract at all? We could not possibly deter them anyway. We could not prevent them doing whatever they wanted to do.
There are two parts to the full answer, one part I will submit to you all now:Close up of the stage set design from
the pic earlier above.
Let's say for some reason, the whole world just took a poll, about who to give the 'red button' to the most powerful weapon, to. Literally was only one person given that 'button.'
And the officials had placed everyone's name into a large hat -, and pulled out KP's name.
Now I am not saying this intending to animate the lyrics from ABBA: '...the gods rolled the dice, their minds as cold as ice.' I don't say we are dealing with a random type of gambling. Advanced beings are not indulging in some kind of gratuitous 'throwing of the dice' here or anywhere.
So anyway, now we have KP with his hand on the button. Is that okay with you, KP? Everyone else okay with this? Yes? No problems there? Everyone happy?
So we're all happy, right.
Oh my GOD! I have the button!! Holy Shit. Don't push it! Better not... oh my it's RED! *so excited*
ReplyDelete<<< KP pushes the button... >>>
<<< ten seconds pass >>>
<<< bubble gum comes out >>>
Yeah the big red button. Okay. Well if everything Laura says is true then the nuclear football is fake, so lessons learned there? I'm just not that impressed with buttons. Or fancy super cars either. Or tall women in fishnets.
Okay so sure. I'll keep your button safe for you. What are you going to do for me in return?

Delete(Prior comments removed because of typos) The jocular way in which you are treating the interests of others in this thought experiment - given the particular thought experiment - is very comforting to all those others, right...
DeleteI think the point is - it shows your attitude to the people around you: once again, look at the number of times the whole thing has been turned back to self-interest - 'I'll keep YOUR...,' 'What are YOU going to do for ME?' 'I'm not that impressed,' 'I have the button; I'm so excited.'
Meanwhile, the rest of the world with the prospect of the mushroom cloud ballooning over their collective heads, is expected to think what exactly, about your dismissive attitude to their safety?
You want to hang THEIR lives on the thread of 'if' everything Laura says -? Do you? What did I say, advanced intelligent beings are not going to be playing Russian Roulette with other peoples' lives, but here you are going 'if.'

ReplyDeleteA secondary thing is, the 'Red Button' is also a metaphor for significant and dangerous technology - it isn't only about OUR (this is OUR human technology) nuclear weapons. If someone is imparting to us advanced technology we haven't as yet got through our own efforts and level of science, then it is at least AS dangerous as nuclear weapons or in some way able to access such things as nuclear weapons, for instance. So there's no bargaining power related to US keeping our OWN 'Red Button' safe, especially if in the first place they can disable it at will.
ReplyDeleteHumans cannot even keep their own dangerous things out of their own harm's way. How would it be some advanced civilization just 'handing out guns' to such primitive morons? 'What will you give ME?' For what?
