    The second story is funnier when you think that there was one thing that wasn't on the list that would be off the charts; classifyable behavior, or predictably. There's no way to tell if we'll keep that grudge or not, and it doesn't matter anyway. The best case scenario is The United Federation of Hold My Beer. Worst case is Warhammer 40K.
    Either way, that commander done screwed up. 😂
    Edit: Even the peaceful "Federation" outcome would open with a war before we figured out it was a misunderstanding.

    As the years drag on am I really starting to think Ozymandias from the Watchmen had the right idea. I want us to come together as a species and sort our shit out before everything is FUBAR, but I also don't want people to have to give up cultural/national identities to become a homogeneous soup. Giving us an external "Them" that reminds "Us" we are all human and on the same side is so tantalising.

    • @noppornwongrassamee8941
      @noppornwongrassamee8941 2 роки тому

      I think current events are showing Ozymandias' plan was a pipe dream. We really wouldn't have come together like he thought we would, especially in the face of a "threat" that wasn't really a threat and would becoming increasingly obvious with time wasn't a real threat. Even if no one found out that Ozymandias' fake alien was fake, people were already figuring out that the "alien invasion" was a freak one time event; that might be enough to de-escalate immediate tensions, but isn't any foundation for a unified world government or even a long term alliance. National interests will inevitably start butting heads with each other again.
      And that's assuming the Watchmen Soviet Union didn't suffer the same kind of collapse the IRL Soviet Union did.

    • @XxTaiMTxX
      @XxTaiMTxX 2 роки тому +3

      I never liked him from that movie. He was stupidly short-sighted. His plan fails for a few reasons:
      1. Dr. Manhatten doesn't stick around to "remain the threat". Which means, it would really only be a few years before humans "run out of emotional steam" for the threat and forget it exists... and then go back to doing what they do best.
      2. Even if he stuck around to remain a threat, the threat only exists so long as it isn't so demoralizing that it destroys society... or until it's overcome by stronger people... then we go back to what we do best.
      3. The plan doesn't solve any of the underlying problems within society. The threat of "the other" only exists so long as "the other" is "unknowable". The story revolves around the worlds' superpowers gearing up for the Cold War. A war against "the other". Only to replace it with another "war against the other"? What a stupid concept. Why bother? Resources would've been better spent getting both sides to know each other and share goals.
      4. It doesn't account for new religious groups possibly appearing to worship Manhatten as a God and trying to curry favor with him. If the dude vanishes like he says he will and doesn't come back, then he becomes a tale... A tale that eventually becomes a God. A God that can be co-opted by new religious organizations that could launch even more NEW problems.
      ---
      This is the short list of stupidity wrought by Ozzy. A man who doesn't know how human beings work. A man who doesn't know how to properly manipulate anyone. A man with no grasp on politics or even the hearts of men. A man with no concept of consequences. A man who can't even visualize the current problems or have the ability to fix those problems, even if he could visualize them.
      He is a very stupid man who conjured up this very long Xanatos Gambit for the purpose of creating a 10 year "stop gap" to total nuclear war. He'll be lucky if it lasts 10 years. Especially since the first thing that's going to happen is another jump in military tech in order to attempt to "kill" Dr. Manhatten or his abominations, which means EVEN MORE DANGEROUS things than NUKES.
      It amuses me how many people are so willing to just follow the stupid, believing them to be smart, and not engage in any of the legwork themselves to solving problems.
      Humans make things into a fight because we are so personally involved in ourselves. A difference of opinion turns into a fight because we've decided our opinion is our ENTIRE BEING. The same as we've done with skin color and gender and sexual orientation and a myriad of other silly little tertiary characteristics about ourselves. Humans view a persons' opinion on A VIDEO GAME to be A PERSONAL ATTACK. "If you don't like this thing that I like, you are saying that I like something that isn't worth liking, and I'm a bad person for it."
      This is the crux of most human antagonism. Our egos. The inability to accept we can be wrong. The inability to change our opinions based upon new facts, logic, or arguments. The desire, not to be right, but to be SEEN as BEING RIGHT. The desire to FEEL right, rather than BE RIGHT.
      We have cultivated a healthy crop of ego within all our cultures on the planet and to make any progress requires that we actually learn some humility.
      We don't need an outside threat. We need a parent.

      @@XxTaiMTxX You know, I think you are the only other person, besides my wife, I have ever met who truly thinks the same about humanity and all of its issues as me. And yes, we do need a parent or we need to get our buts in shape and actually figure out how to be mature without any parents. Sadly, the former is unlikely to ever happen, aliens are rare after all, and the latter is even more unfeasible. Most of all, we need TIME to develop and mature properly, but with all our issues we are likely to self-destruct long before then, or our mistakes will make the world destroy us instead. Trying to keep a hold on the hope of a better future while knowing all of that, is the truly difficult part for me. Any ideas on how to nudge our species in the correct direction, or at least past the current crisis? A random alien invasion may be ultimately nothing more than a stop-gap measure to our conflicts but would indeed help to buy us more time, however little, to get it right, however unlikely that may be. So, ideas? For I have truly no clue how to go about helping all of humanity to self-parent and ultimately grow-up. Maybe that is the Great Filter? Everything else is truly random but could happen to form intelligent life. But that life growing up and being mature enough not to self-destruct via its own mistakes, character flaws and stupidities? That requires actual deliberate species wide individual actions and descisions. Decided by everyone individually and carried out regardless of the actions of others. Choice not chance. Far harder to do than to get past any physical hurdle of propability and chance the Universe can throw at us, I would say. Though, if that is the case, we are dangerously close to going "plink" against the Great Filter. Propably why aliens have yet to be confirmed in our corner of the Universe, too, come to think of it, since vanishingly few would figure out how to self-parent before self-destructing and thus surviving to meet others. The Universe is truly large and many cosmic bodies propably carry life, but who knows how far apart those are that have managed to get past the Great Filter? Guess we can make that our goal as a species, if we survive past that issue. Let us become parents to others, so they may have someone to point out the mistakes and prevent fatal acts of stupidity before it is to late. I hope someone managed to become such a parent out there and is close enough to find us before we go "plink". Maybe that thought will help me keep hoping.

      A small Greek island with a lot of ruins, very interesting history, look it up.
