Does Anyone Think Aliens Might Upload Our Souls/Consciousnesses When We Die?

Some of us? Do you think some of us go to “heaven?” Some to “hell?” How should we behave to maximize our chances of a heaven or rebirth?

Focus Groups Think We Should Wait for a “Climate Emergency” Before Geoengineering/Terraforming.

I think it’s time to act, not wait for a “climate emergency.” An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.


Wikipedia: Climate engineering/Geoengineering: Public perception 

A large 2018 study investigated public perceptions of six climate engineering methods, with an online survey in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.[51] The findings were also compared against similar 2012 survey in Australia and New Zealand.[52] Public awareness of climate engineering was low with less than a fifth of respondents reporting prior knowledge. Perceptions of the six climate engineering methods were largely negative and frequently associated with attributes like 'risky', 'artificial' and 'unknown effects'. Carbon dioxide removal methods were preferred over solar geoengineering. Public perceptions were remarkably stable with only minor differences between the different countries in the 2018 and 2012 surveys.[51][52]

In a 2017 focus group study conducted by the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) in the United States, Japan, New Zealand, and Sweden, participants were asked about carbon sequestration options, reflection proposals such as with space mirrors, or brightening of clouds, and their majority responses could be summed up as follows:


What happens if the technologies backfire with unintended consequences?

Are these solutions treating the symptoms of climate change rather than the cause?

Shouldn't we just change our lifestyle and consumption patterns to fight climate change, making climate engineering a last resort?

Isn't there a greater need to address political solutions to reduce our emissions?


Moderators floated then the idea of a future "climate emergency" such as rapid environmental change. The participants felt that mitigation and adaptation to climate change were strongly preferred options in such a situation, and climate engineering was seen as a last resort.

Protecting Afghanistan

They should have the Space Force protect everyone. Call it a training exercise if it’s too classified/illegal. How else are you supposed to protect yourself against someone who doesn’t play by the rules? Not sure what I would do if I were President. Isn’t it a Good Samaritan act if you protect the Afghan people who are evacuating, down to the last person to leave by the withdrawal date? You can even make airports demilitarized zones with drones so that UN ambassadors, etc. can move freely to perform their duties. This would also make humanitarian relief efforts more safe and secure.

Excerpt: Space Flag represents a fundamental pivot from viewing space as a benign environment to viewing space as a contested domain of warfare. This critical exercise provides an educational environment where our space warfighters are challenged to defend, fight, and win in space against a thinking adversary in potential future conflicts.

Socioeconomic Status as a Protected Class

The federal poverty line is currently set at $26,500 for a household of four. ... So why aren't there more legal protections for poor Americans? As it stands, socioeconomic status is not a protected class under anti-discrimination laws.

What to do about Q, part 2

If I were a Congressperson, I would take a P300 lie detector test just to get the conservative Q-believers off my back and save some lives by changing some minds regarding Q and his views.
