The Fermi Paradox: Reasons why we havent been visited by Aliens

[BaldingSoHard]

The statement you made was ignorant, in order to live on Mars as sentient life forms we would have to terraform it. The uploading consciousness to a digital sphere argument is quite prevalent, if we could do that there would be no reason to go to Mars at all. It's certainly more feasible to save our consciousness then our bodies. But that is a completely different debate, and I doubt that's what you were referring to when you initially talked about colonizing Mars.

Well I'm telling you it was. I don't know why you think I would lie. What else could I have meant? Don't be dense just because you went off on a tangent and made emotional assertions and feel the need to backup those assertions. Jesus, too much internet for this guy.

For your sake I hope you were lying. If you really think that we would search light years away or even as close as Mars and make a great migration, just so we could get to the destination and discard our bodies, rendering the journey useless, then that tells me all I need to know. If you don't know don't go around claiming it's possible. It discredits the people who are actually looking for answers.

Furthermore, how is it a different debate? You don't think "the singularity" may be the answer to getting through "the great filter" described in the Fermi Paradox?
Do you even enjoy sharing ideas in a debate, or do you just like to call people ignorant on the internet?

I have no idea what you're talking about.
How does discarding our physical bodies render the search for information outside of our own solar system useless?
If anything, conscious immortality makes that search much more feasible.
For your sake, I hope you're trolling.

Uploading your mind to a digital sphere means your consciousness would no longer exist in this physical reality. We would be completely disconnected from the universe. Living inside the "matrix".

I'm not talking about the great filter, I'm talking about colonizing other planets. I love a good debate, this is not one of them. For someone who just said "What do I know," you seem to take great offense to being told you are uninformed. You just said that the definition of habitability could change in 300 years. Is life going to evolve sufficiently in 300 years to the point that life forms don't need a certain distance from the sun, to exist?

If you wanna go that route, sure.
Personally, I'm sticking with a nanoswarm form.
There's no nano-p*ssy inside the matrix.

It's all the same conversation. But if you don't wanna talk anymore, I'll let it go. Pick up that book though. It's good.

indefinite life will eventually become the reality.

Life is already indefinite. The human body, nope.​

That's insane.

It is unfathomable how large the universe is.

The Article lost me once it stated that we or SETI have not been contacted by extraterrestrials....
I believe that to be a farce and for an article to be so detailed with information...
It raises suspicion
