face is a warfighting domain yo what did
he just say they warfighting domain of
what warfighting domain really do you
want to turn space into a war zone you
know what's funny when he first said
that I was trippin but now maybe he's
right
a space war may be the answer to all of
our problems but he said the last time I
was kind of written write a question
that I think about a whole lot is how
can we create world peace and the
quickest way might be two words alien
attack now let me preface that I don't
want to suggest that aliens are the the
hostile aggressive creatures that we see
in movies because that idea and fear is
based on our own human record of what
happens when we come into contact with
more primitive civilizations
so let's not project our motives onto
them
I also want to suggest that perhaps the
best evidence of the existence of alien
life out there is the fact that they
haven't made themselves completely known
to us which is a very smart move
considering some of our behavior but
hypothetically speaking it seems to me
that nothing brings people closer
together than having a common enemy I
mean if we had an
in attack you would see neo-nazi black
lives matter Republican Democrats coming
together and holding hands even drink
and meek mill would hug it out and
probably become friends again it is sad
that necessity is the mother of
invention meaning that we change only
when we need to change isn't it only
when our health starts to scare us that
we begin to take care of our bodies
isn't it only when we have a near-death
experience that we fully realized the
fragile nature of life wasn't it in the
matrix that neo had to see Morpheus
almost died in Zion almost get destroyed
before he plugged back in and became the
one so based on all of this evidence let
me say it again
man needs a catalyst to change or else
he remains as he is see the human brains
first priority is to survive it is not
to be peaceful so if we want world peace
circumstances must be adjusted to the
point that our very survival depends on
us being peaceful with each other if we
want world peace there must be a dire
problem that cannot be solved other than
with the world coming together now I
don't think any cataclysmic event will
do I say alien attack because I don't
think a plague would work I mean we've
all seen The Walking Dead Rick and the
rest of that world are just trying to
kill each other
instead of coming together to figure out
what the heck is going on and maybe find
a solution so no no plague we need an
enemy that we can see and all the better
if it comes from another world
here's an interesting study to emphasize
the point dr. muzafer sherif founder of
modern social psychology did an
interesting experiment he brought a
group of boys together for a summer camp
upon arrival the boys were placed in two
separate cabinets
each cabin given its own name muzaffer
had the boys compete with each other at
different events like treasure hunts
eventually conflict arose the boys
became aggressive they began raiding
each other's cabins stealing possessions
then Sherif did something very
interesting Sherif told the boys that
the truck that was to deliver food to
the camp got stuck in order to be fed
the boys had to work together to help
the truck out of his predicament next
Sherif stopped the water supply and the
boys had to work together to fix this
crisis finally the boys were told that
movie night had been canceled due to
lack of funds the boys pull money
together from both cabins to rescue the
movie night conflicts disappeared the
boys began eating together towards the
end of the experience the boys were
asked to list their best friends the
lists frequently contain names from both
cabins and on the final bus ride home
during a meal stop some of the boys with
funds saw the boys from the other cabin
without money and they treated them to
milkshakes through the shared challenges
the boys learn the value of helping each
other out working together and their
conflicts disappeared now I for one am i
hopeless romantic I believe that humans
don't need an alien attack to change and
we can evolve without that happen I
think that with the right adjustments in
our culture and our education we can go
for mankind too kind
man we can go from homo sapiens to homo
spiritists a more spiritual and
connected human being but at the same
time I'm conflicted because my heart
tells me what man could be in the next
100 years while history shows me what
man has been for the last 60 centuries
the irony of course is that we need an
invader to threaten a planet that we are
already killing ourselves and even if we
did come together against an alien
attack
and we won how long would it be before
we revert back to our old ways of racism
classism sexism and every other ISM and
ultimately bringing back the greatest
most wicked foreign invader that we have
ever known the human ego increasing all
there's been about 114 Wars since World
War 2 but I've often wondered what if
all of us in the world discovered that
we were threatened from outer space from
another planet wouldn't we all of a
sudden find that we didn't have any
differences between us at all we were
all human beings citizens of the world
and when we come together to fight that
particular threat the only way to unite
this incredibly divided world of ours
they're out there we better think of how
all the differences among people on
earth would seem small if we felt
threatened by a space invader I can't
reveal any now really because President
Lincoln said he did go right in and he
did check there was nothing
