Black Goo Conspiracy. What is it and where did it come from?

a reply to: ZombieZygote
There was a very interesting "goo" in a science fiction story by Harlan Ellison. I think the title and punchline of the story was "I see a man sitting on a chair and the chair is biting his leg".
This particular goo had developed on the polluted ocean surfaces of the world. It was being harvested to meet the food demands of the population, but was more sentient than people realised. As a result, it was well-placed to take over the world.
I think it was gray, though, rather than black.

I was wrong. mandela effect. My timeline...err. was different.

OP. its from the X FILES. sheesh. move on.

They way they claim the black goo got here, almost reminds me of the "alien souls" of scientology.

Duly noted.I appreciate your "valuable" contribution to this thread. Although if you wanted to be even more accurate in your condescension, you could have pointed out that Venom predates the X-Files. Sheesh. Move on.

No Venom was a symbiote that was brought back on a space shuttle. ANd as such did not qualify as a black goo. Symbiotes are different than Black goo/oil because the host still has his own mind and is still in control at times.

Black goo, like many things, originates from misunderstood ancient writings, describing things we readily observe in today's world. Black goo is the coolant of the earths core. We've been pumping it out for ages. And they wonder where manmade global warming really comes from.. Next the seas will boil. Dow chemicals will propose to add antifreeze to the oceans to save humanity from melting. No food will be edible, anywhere, all the animals will die off and we will be forced into robot bodies if we wish to survive.

how do you know this "black goo/oil" isn't a symbiotic?

This is an interesting topic that could use more discussion. I'm kinda wondering if there's newer information on this.

Is this the same as "grey goo" that basically destroys everything and self-replicates itself?

I think the 'grey goo' is nanobot
they don't exist yet (as far as I know) but if they become real they could be really nasty.

featured in the Clive Cussler book 'The Storm'

Voxel.

Reality as known, as acknowledged to forgetful, sinful, imperfect mortal fallen Adamite conciousness is tainted by the inverted approximations of a 2d form in 3d space,the topological manifold of man's prison, the rhizospheric approximations of the tree of discernment between good and evil.

Pure gibberish.

Thanks for wasting our bandwidth.

Thought that I would just check that everybody here knows that this isn't a real thing. It's based on a plot line from a TV show called the X-Files from the 1990s, and it's later comic book based reboot from the late 2010s.

It's not a real thing in the real world. It's based on fiction.

Both are equally fictional, which I guess is the important part here. But I definitely agree that this is just a rehashing of the X-Files story arc. The only thing that this even remotely has in common is that Venom is black and goo like in one of his forms (Other symbionts are different colors).

This is literally a story arc form the X-files. They released a new batch of comics about 5 years ago continuing the story. I think that you can buy a version on Amazon with all of the volumes together in one book.

This is an actual story from the X-files, almost word for word except with the location changed from the middle east to the Falklands. I seriously can't believe that more people don't remember it, at least form watching reruns.
