upvoted for the conversation sparked, not the video in and of itself.

Just to throw my two cents in: I think the vast majority of civilizations out there probably have intelligences similar to our own just because that is what evolution would dictate. This is of course based only on observing our own evolutionary path which is unfortunately the only model we have access too. But it does actually tell us quite a bit, based on an environment similar to ours it would appear that intelligence would plateau at a certain point because it just isn't beneficial to beings in early societal stages. Ie: you only need a certain amount of intelligence to outsmart a mammoth, this does not involve an innate understanding of complex mathematical principles.

That being said, since there are (probably) billions of planets that could support life I'm sure there are a couple outliers whose intelligent life has a more innate understanding of complex knowledge. It would "probably" be more nuanced than just beings whose intelligence completely dwarfs our own. Parts of their brain (or however you want to translate it to extraterrestrial anatomy) which handle physics or mathematics etc. may be larger giving an added dexterity to problem solving in that SPECIFIC cognitive fields. Similarly to how certain people have added capacity in one portion of their brain or another but does not make them gods in comparison to other.

The reality is that we probably already have met the superior godlike species and we created them. Computers already excel vastly over us in many areas and I'd assume it's only a matter of time before they surpass us entirely.

But hey there are almost assuredly an near infinite amount of planets out there, so maybe there is one where GOD evolved?

This really does deserve a *promote from someone with power

someone needs to get this man photoshop and a wacom tablet.

need a *hero tag

can we get an *art invocation anyone

I'm sorry, but these people seem slightly brain dead. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought it was common knowledge that water always recedes before a tsunami. The second I saw the water receding there wouldn't be any amount of money that could keep me there any longer let alone some bs mystifying effect of filming a dry beach.

Won't someone think of the flag!!

"No, there is a different smell and potency to poop. Farts aren't really stray poo particles, although I suppose you could argue them as such. In any case, you should keep in mind that there is no uniform poop particle. Any given piece of poop as a diverse variety of poop particles within it, any one can be different from the other and naturally different from that of a fart." - Serious youtube discussion.

Yep, same here-- After I first heard Cannibal Ox I pretty much ate up any thing defjux and EL-P quickly became one of my favorite artists. He just so obviously spends so much time on his albums which leads to very substancial releases, unfortunately it comes with the draw back of waiting 4-5 years per release lol

El-P really produced the crap outa this album, really stellar from the first song to the last. Should check out El-Ps new release too if you havent, Cancer4Cure, awesome awesome album as well

everyone leave NOW, i need my privacy...
