Some argue that extraterrestrials spiked us with Wetiko as an evolutionary 'boost'. Check out the Prometheus films for a visual representation. Black goo.
Do you think there is extraterrestrial life, and why?

Is this "Wetiko" concept supposed to be profound? It sounds like what spiritual tradition across all cultures has been cautioning for millennia now, only turned into a modern materialized conception, more digestible for mass consumerist culture which loves everything to be related to "aliens".
Prometheus movies were well done, though.

From a materialist POV life is an accident. From an idealist POV, there could be an intrinsic trend toward creating life. It may be consciously or “instintive” in kastrupian parlance. This would be the addition that philosophical idealism makes to answer that question.Hedge90 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 6:05 pm Addressing this mostly to fellow idealists, because we've heard the potential answers a million times from materialist scientists. Do you think that if idealism is right this also has consequences regarding this question? To clarify, I mean only life in this universe, not other "spiritual dimensions" or "parallel realities" or anything like that.
Sometimes I think we should trust science, and from a scientific POV there are a lot of planets in the universe that currently or potentially can support life.
Conclusion: idealism POV + scientific POV = yes, high chance of extraterrestrial life.

Just a test to see if posts are getting through ... Or have the ET tricksters jammed the forum traffic?
Here out of instinct or grace we seek
soulmates in these galleries of hieroglyph and glass,
where mutual longings and sufferings of love
are laid bare in transfigured exhibition of our hearts,
we who crave deep secrets and mysteries,
as elusive as the avatars of our dreams.

Rumour has it that Ashvin has been abducted by aliens, and is now teaching a correctional course in Anthroposophy to captured android assassins being held in some galactic gulag.Cleric K wrote: ↑Thu Mar 24, 2022 8:32 amComm's just fine.
