Every single exposition on the “are we alone” conundrum misses the key element (it’s even missing from the Drake equation) … is that “everything has an end and succumbs to entropy”.
Spot an advanced civilization a 100,000 year (interstellar) “life span” and overlay that on any time slice here on Earth over just the last say 300 million years and what do you get?
An alien “away team” looking at pretty diverse zoo / Petri dish / cosmic road side attraction … even up to 100,000 years ago.
Repeat the exercise spotting them 500,000 … a million years … longer? Think there’d be different outcomes to the “are we alone” question for them? And of course we’d never know they’d been here.
Inference loops of Intelligence get shorter (happen faster) the more advanced the tech becomes … “waiting around” for intelligent life to potentially arise is not the long suit of advanced civilizations. They’ve got bigger and better things to spend their time and resources doing before they fade away.
There almost certainly have been 100,000s if not millions of planets in the history of just our galaxy that gave rise to intelligent life, and perhaps many of those became interstellar species. But the overlay of spatial distance and civilizational duration … don’t VENN diagram with us ….
We are so completely without hubris that any them are out there joyriding around the galaxy and are just “hanging out” for a few hundred eons in our galactic backwater corner of the Milky Way on the off chance we might just have “leveled up” from primitive hunters circa 100,000 BC to have a chat about the mysteries of the cosmos with them. Prime Directive be damned ….
IF we have the dedication and drive to become interstellar ourselves … we’re likely to find that in our short time slot in the billions of years long arc of galactic history it is actually quite empty … but in the totality of that cosmic clock, life has been and will be numerous beyond counting.

Y'all. This is my senator. If, after these midterms, I'm able to still remain slightly interested in politics, it's because we still have this level of integrity and leadership in the WI conservative movement.
Thank you, Senator
I did not participate in today’s Senate leadership election because a defeat of this magnitude demands serious reflection and change.
Holding a rushed election ignores the message our voters sent. We must acknowledge where and why we failed and develop strategies to succeed.
I hope our conference can unite, learn from this moment, and do a better job listening to the American people and addressing their concerns.

Imagine that.
🚨 NOW: It's just been exposed that the effort to block a data center on an ABANDONED mall lot in Maryland is LINKED TO CHINESE COMMUNISTS
Imagine that.
"The Party for Socialism and Liberation took notice...that group is reportedly linked to controversial Chinese businessman Neville Roy Singham."
The CHINESE are happy with this move.
Their goal is to take every possible opportunity we get to expand our SI lead and give China an advantage.
We can't let them!

I am so sad to report what has happened just now.
At 11:11 on 11/11 at victory memorial drive on Veterans Day taps is usually played as the sun shines upon the glorious sundial that the flagpole of VMD actually is.
There are two very special days on Victory Memorial Drive: Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
On Memorial Day we have flags out and, as a park commissioner, I worked with the superintendent to make sure various maintenance was prioritized in the schedule for that day.
On Veterans Day, veterans from all over gravitate to the pole to have a moment of silence for those fallen.
Victory memorial drive is a specific World War One memorial to those who lost their lives from Hennepin County during the war. It is the only such memorial in the whole country.
Now, I am very supportive of protest, but to take over the whole flagpole at 11am on 11/11 is a very intentional desecration.
Many veterans and children of veterans wanting to pay their respects alerted me as I was headed over myself. It was a protest.
But a protest for what? “Veterans for peace” supporting Palestine?
Until the day I die I will never understand the conflation.
I also am sure they didn’t have a permit. As a former commissioner I know that amplified sound at these historic sites requires a permit.
This makes me very sad. Veterans and family couldn’t even honor their loved ones today at 11:11.
Another stolen moment, destroyed by hubris and conceit.
Not an American flag in sight. They were proud they took over the memorial.
I’d love an investigation into this @MplsParkBoard .
I used to take my son here as a boy to teach him about respecting our veterans and also the purpose of the flagpole. How it was actually children at Loring Community School who “saved their pennies “ to fund the memorial.
Fascinating that the reason I was late is because I was writing about our history and how we must learn from it, or we repeat.
I cannot believe even our fallen dead cannot have a moment of silence in our current society.

The Prime Minister of Haiti, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, and the President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, must ensure that all operations conducted by Salvadoran forces in Haiti comply with international human rights law.

Most of the world has moved on from Brazil, but they should all know that Lula is about to require ID on social media next week for people to post.
They will then use those IDs to identify everyone on social media and arrest them for dissent against the government and calling the election stolen.
Hard times are coming for the Brazilian people. We must keep their voice ALIVE!

HOW I FEEL ABOUT TRUMP:
By Steve Harvey
You've been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your basement is infested with raccoons.. Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean raccoons have overtaken your basement.. You want them gone immediately!.. You call the city and 4 different exterminators, but nobody can handle the job.. But there is this one guy, and he guarantees to get rid of them, so you hire him.. You don't care if the guy swears, you don't care how many times he's been married, you don't care if he has a plumber's crack, you simply want those raccoons gone!.. You want your problem fixed!.. He's the guy.. He's the best!
Here's why we want Trump: Yes, he's a bit of a jerk; Yes, he's an egomaniac; but we don't care!.. The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republicans and Democrats can be two-faced and gutless, and illegals are everywhere.. We want it all fixed!.. We don't care that Trump is crude, we don't care that he insults people, we don't care that he's been married 3 times, we don't care that he fights with Megyn Kelly and Rosie O'Donnell, we don't care that he doesn't know the name of some Muslim terrorist.. This country became weak and bankrupt, our enemies were making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegals, we are becoming a nation of victims where every Tom, Ricardo, and Hasid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don't even recognize the country we were born and raised in; "AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED”.. And Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want..
We're sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, sick of the Republican Party, and sick of illegals!.. We just want this thing fixed.. Trump may not be a Saint, but we didn’t vote for a Pope.. We voted for a man who doesn't have lobbyist money holding him back, a man who doesn't have political correctness restraining him.. We all know that he has been very successful, he’s a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, and he's also NOT a politician, NOT a cowardly politician.!.. And he says he'll fix it.. And we believe him because he is too much of an egotist to be proven wrong, or looked at and called a liar.. Also, we don't care if the guy has bad hair.. We just want those raccoons gone, out of our house, NOW!!!
You are welcome to copy/paste/share this.. Thousands of people who haven't voted in 25 years seem to be getting involved.. And the more people get this message, the more that will understand why Trump was elected..The raccoons have got to go!!!

Collective bargaining is not a right. It is an expense entitlement that will drive up costs for most people in Wisconsin.
Even liberal icon FDR opposed collective bargaining for government workers.
This is what they do when they’ve been bought off by big government union bosses. So much for affordability.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just CONCLUDED his Veterans Day speech with this pure USA line
"They're looking down on us right now — and with God's help, we will do things that we've NEVER been able to do before."
"And, yes, we'll have some minor setbacks — we'll handle them very nicely." 👏🏻
"Our country is becoming a far greater country than it's ever been before — we say to every American veteran, the sacrifice you have made, we will never forget the oath that you have kept."
"We will never take for granted the values you fought for. We will never, ever forsake the flag you held high, we will never let it fall, and the nation you served, we will never, ever let it fail."
"May God bless America's great veterans. May God bless our military. And may God bless the United States of America." 🇺🇸
Great speech from Trump today
The wins achieved in Venezuela and Iran are ONLY possible because of the troops.
America is respected again and our TROOPS have great champions leading them 🇺🇸

Do you think the timing of this new Epstein evidence from Congress, is just a coincidence?
Timing is everything.
Epstein evidence dropped the day AFTER that clown Thomas Massie, filed impeachment articles against Hegseth.
Do you think that was just a coincidence?
Massie claimed to be the champion of releasing the Epstein evidence, but completely dropped the subject, once Trump was exonerated. He’s a fraud.
But exposing Massie as a FRAUD, was just the appetizer.
Trump mocked Massie when he was the only republican to vote for impeachment.
But look what Trump said about Hegseth’s response to Massie.
Trump TS post:
“Pete Hegseth gets an “A” PLUS, PLUS, PLUS for his defense against a disgruntled, angry, defeated, former Congressman, Thomas Massie, a TOTAL LOSER!
President DJT”
A lot of anons pointed out the “+++” which is found in several Q drops.
That’s SIGNAL but I think there’s more to the story.
Why would dropping big Epstein evidence right now be important?
Have you ever seen this important Q drop?
It’s a really important MARKER for what’s about to happen.

All [3] MOVIES playing simultaneously?
Do you find it interesting that everything discussed in the past is somehow making news as of late?
Q
———
[A]ll +++ MOVIES playing simultaneously?
Which [3] MOVIES?
[1] Guardians of the Pedophiles
[2] Panic in DC
[3] FISAGATE
Now let me remind you of a very important player on the Chessboard, who is directly related and heavily involved in “All [3]MOVIES.”
Jay Clayton.
I wrote about his long history of investigating the “Guardians” of Epstein and exposing them.
Almost all of them were mentioned in this Jesse Watters clip.
Here’s the first article in my long thread on the Epstein “Guardians.”
open.substack.com/pub/joelan…
How is Jay Clayton directly connected to the other [2] MOVIES playing at the same time?
Jay Clayton was specifically chosen to be DNI at this very moment in time.
He ALREADY knows about all the “Guardians” of Epstein and now as DNI, knows all about his intelligence connections too.
[Guardians of the Pedophiles]
But Clayton as DNI, is about to play a HUGE role in the coming exposure of the nationwide election fraud, that just happened in the midterms.
Trump’s EO requires Clayton to give Trump a report on any “foreign interference” in the election, within 45 days.
There was massive coordinated machine manipulation in every single state.
Had to be “foreign involvement.”
That moves the election FRAUD from crimes and into a “national security” threat, which gives Trump Constitutional authority to REMEDY the “unprecedented” Constitutional crisis with an “unprecedented” solution.
[Panic in DC]
But that’s not all.
There’s the third MOVIE. [3] +++
I’m going to make a “spitball” prediction.
I think Brennan is about to become a big part of the “narrative” again. Possibly an “indictment.”
Why do I think that?
Clayton as DNI, now also has access to all the “evidence” of Brennan’s plan and coordination with FVEY intelligence agencies to illegally spy on Trump.

When will the public discover that Ted Cruz was also illegally SURV (pre_POTUS_R nomination)?
C_A 'illegal' SURV > members of Congress?
C_A 'illegal' SURV > members of the Press?
C_A 'illegal' SURV > SENATE INTEL COMM?
Who ordered the SURV?
What justification was provided to AUTH SURV of ELECTED OFFICIALS?
SURV fall under scope of FISA warrant or internal to Dept or outsourced to FVEY?
Reality check - friend or foe, we all spy on each other?
Should we be spying on ourselves?
Should we be tasking others to spy on ourselves in order to avoid U.S. law?
Was FVEY established & designed by the INTEL COMM as a backchannel SURV apparatus to avoid domestic laws triggers and Congressional/Senate oversight?
What keylogs exist to monitor FVEY intel collection?
What ability do former GOV officials have re: ability to access C_LEVEL FVEY offshore data?

James Madison spent years studying how ambitious men destroy republics. Two and a half centuries later, progressive revolutionaries have apparently decided the greatest improvement they can make to his constitutional safeguards is to tear the fucking things apart.
The Democratic Socialists of America openly advocate abolishing the Senate. Elsewhere on the left, the Electoral College, Supreme Court, filibuster, and federalism face relentless demands for restructuring or elimination. Apparently, the Constitution's unforgivable defect is that it occasionally prevents progressives from getting everything they want.
Madison understood that political ambition is an enduring feature of human nature. His answer was ingenious: make ambition counteract ambition. Divide authority. Force competing institutions to restrain one another. Protect individual liberty from temporary majorities and politicians intoxicated by their own righteousness.
Enter the modern progressive, armed with a graduate degree in moral superiority and the intellectual sophistication of a toddler furious that someone locked the candy cabinet.
Checks and balances? Obstruction! State sovereignty? Inconvenient! An independent judiciary? Outrageous whenever it delivers the wrong verdict! A Senate that frustrates sweeping ideological demands? Abolish the bastard!
These constitutional geniuses apparently believe that concentrating political authority becomes perfectly safe once the people wielding it share their magnificent worldview.
And when authority migrates into governing commissions, permanent bureaucracies, and politically controlled institutions, who restrains those institutions? Who removes their leaders? Who prevents the next faction from capturing the entire machinery?
Their reassuring answer amounts to trusting the very political ambitions Madison spent his life trying to restrain.
What breathtaking fucking arrogance.
The Founders understood that liberty depends on making power difficult to monopolize. Their self-appointed ideological successors regard every obstacle to their ambitions as proof that the system requires demolition.
One generation studied the rise of tyrants and constructed constitutional barriers to stop them.
Today's revolutionaries study those same warning signs and apparently mistake them for a goddamn instruction manual.
