The only God to count on to do what all gods do... Absolutely nothing.
Yes, but we are still waiting for that Crom to at least have the decency to do something: committ suicide.
As for the rest of gods and goddesses, we will help them... to hang themselves.
Only then you will be real humans.
BTW: hang with them some of those technopaths who talk about uploading minds and transhumanism. There are still lots of trees available.
To communicate with someone that someone must have your very same neural structure, and identical biochemistry. No room for interspecies communication. Symbiosis, and parasitic coexistence may be the only way ahead.

Why would you feel more comfortable reading the myriad theories posted on ATS than, say, on FL? What's the difference?
Information is never hazardous, zero_one. Not even misinformation, nor disinformation, provided the reader exert critical thinking.
provided the reader exert critical thinking.
However, let me know about which specific post in FL you need additional information, and I will contact the author to see if she/he can provide more information to you.

and what do we make of this type of text
so Giselians are here farming us
"To find a definition and characterising criteria for what it means for Sol-3 humans to be classified as domesticated is not straight forward as they show territorially minded behaviour, which extends to a small extension of Sol-3, and though they are ready to die defending that small portion of their planet, even killing other humans along their way, they totally lack a sense of sharing a planet at all"
either its all just for sci fi writing or some good hoax
or its real and we have many aliens on earth some even in FL group
and Ive emailed them a few times and often they refer to me as you Humans !

That's a fair question, AB.
A concise answer to it is to state that FL was thought as a think tank in which a group of individuals gather to discuss issues and to exchange ideas with the aim of setting up a theory of contact. We feel we lack a theory of contact and that we need to have such a theory in order to design procedures and protocols enabling us to design optimum contact strategies.
FL is thus a group organised to study a specific subject, namely, the contact between a human Earth-based civilization and a non-Earth civilization. We are a non-governmental, not for-profit research group with autonomy from government and from interest groups. Sadly, we consider universities as interest groups due to the funding context they operate in, therefore we detach from any research groups or universities in order to preserve our autonomy.
Secrecy and obscurification is just a consequence, not an end. This is so because by its very nature a think tank operates in isolation and keeping a distance with academia if you truly wish to reflect and deeply meditate about your study subject. One last reason for secrecy comes from the fact that there are societal institutions and interest groups who oppose to any kind of contact, along with interest groups who desperately wish to manage contact for their own benefit (mostly military and technological agents, but also firms and companies). You must understand that were we to operate in the open the very essence of a think tank would be lost.
I hope this answers your question.
