  1. I really hope you enjoy this supercut! Parts of 12 different episodes have gone into this one, plus a lot of extra content made specifically for this video. I know this is a very long video, so I'm curious to know how you get on with it, so I can gauge whether I should ever do something like this again in the future.

    Thanks for watching!

  2. The theory of aliens being hostile like we are only really applies if they have the same brain chemistry as us. We are a naturally aggressive species that lashes out over anything. The alien race may more likely have a different brain chemistry making them more docile and empathetic.

  3. Okay, I’m going to harp on this because it’s really annoying: you said that we don’t have ANY evidence (incorrect) or proof (correct) of aliens/UAPs. Moreover, you said this immediately after showing the evidence. It seems to me that you, as a scientist, should understand the difference between evidence and proof. People in general tend to use the words interchangeably, but they are very different.

    Say you walk by a car with a broken window. You see a baseball bat on the ground. This is evidence that someone may have smashed the window with the bat and then ran away. You then check a nearby surveillance camera, which shows you a video of a man walking down the street with a baseball bat, smashing the window, then someone yells at him and he drops the bat and runs away. You now have proof of what happened. Alternatively, the video could have shown some kid in a baseball uniform with his bat, walking down the street on his way to a ball game, when out of nowhere, a guy who was robbing the apartment on the second story right above the car had panicked when the tenant came home, jumped off the balcony, landed on the windshield, rolled off the vehicle miraculously unharmed, frightening the kid with the bat who drops it and runs away, and then the burglar runs off as well. That was a run-on sentence and kind of a silly hypothetical, but you get the point: evidence is something that can either correlate with or contradict the truth. It can lead us to the truth, but it can also lead us nowhere. Just a pet peeve of mine.

    Great video though, thank you!! ❤

  4. The FOOL looks at the complexity and beauty of life and deceitfully states that it all happened by chance, by a series of improbabilities.

    To the God of All creation, be honor, glory, praise, and adoration.

  5. Excellent video, as usual.

    One issue, and the only reason I mention it is because of its pervasiveness. That is the analogy of our violence between cultures to how aliens, able to travel trillions of miles through space, might behave towards us.

    This analogy suffers from one serious flaw. Well, more than one, but the one is a big one. Conflicts on Earth between groups is almost always over resources: food, territory, land, water, etc. The aforementioned aliens would have absolutely no need of anything we have. With their technology, if they had the need, they could simply harvest the asteroid belt. Besides, if they're hostile, we're toast. With the push of one button, poof!

    Ok, one more thing. If they have the technology to travel trillions of miles in what is for them a reasonable amount of time, and they would need to to travel here, then if they didn't want to be seen, they wouldn't, end of conversation.

  6. Ok, now he's started down the road of two more ridiculous theories.

    Their technology is so far beyond ours, they would see us as insects. Wrong. It is not our technology that makes us view insects with indifference, it is evolution. And I would argue that not everyone views insects that way. We have entomologists you know.

    To say that we would not be able to communicate because, what, our languages are too primitive? Please. Our languages do everything that a sentient being needs them to do. Also, during their travels to us they would have had centuries to listen, and read all of our languages. At worse, they might have an accent.

  7. Humans will kl the first few.
    Then someone will try to bang one. Which honestly, probably won't take that long to get to that point.
    Someone's gonna eat one.
    Then it'll be all out chaos and we'll lose.

    That's if aliens came here 😂😂😔

  8. Apparently the UK will take 3 million aliens. House them, feed them, help them find work and support them on benefits until they can find work and speak English. Then feed them and let them live free, until they grow strong enough to destroy everyone on the island, turn the survivors into slaves.
    Oh wait.. holy…no…when did that start?

  9. There is one thought I rarely stumble upon when it comes to all those considerations about Types of Civilizations or possible Filters etc.
    which is that all the scaling is based on our current incomplete understanding of Everything.

    As of now the absence of such an advanced Alien Civilization might as well indicate that Progress happens in a different way.

    Makes for a nice filter I believe

  10. Ok a comment just from the title, let’s be honest, we’ll try and destroy them, I just hope they have technologies that are weapons won’t even scratch and that they have they humility to forgive us our insecurities, paranoia and fear. ✌️

  11. What constitutes an alien. When we use the term alien are we being derogatory toward another unknown race?

    As to are we alone? The mere question suggests we have a over inflated opinion of ourselves. Of course there is life out in the proverbial there or just the universe.

    What I find outrageous is that we refuse to admit what we see right in front of us. How can we deny our past an ancestors representation of spacecraft who drew and depicted spacecraft before they could imagine any kind of flight that would pertain to us.

    We have drawn or photographed visitors coming and going for thousands of years. Any civilization that can traverse the universe would only look in on us out of curiosity.

    Would you cross the ocean to Africa to only just stamp out an arbitrary ant hill.

    Of course not. So why would a higher civilization wish to do the same to us.

    Our government’s fear anything they can’t control. This would be to admit a inability to control all that they survey. Last they may lose sway over all of us. They fear this more than anything. We might then question their authority over us.
