|content=And I think NDT is enforcing a dangerous “Copernican” consensus that we are too insignificant to even monitor or visit, to go along with “We’ve had Nukes for 70 years without losing a city. I wouldn’t worry. What could possibly go wrong.”
This is just a human rationality flaw.🙏

|content=I subscribe to an unpopular position. Consider 3 kinds of 🌎:
A) Ones with no life or at least no life within striking distance of the source code (ToE).
B) Worlds that are on the verge of gaining the source code but are confined to a terrestrial surface.
C) Root level access.

|content=I see your point, but I would ask, wouldn’t there be a difference between basic recognition and categorization, and actively studying and interacting?  One would assume that other species would still be resource and time limited, therefore forced to prioritize their attention?

|content=Now, if you can jack into the cosmos as ‘Root’ it MAY facilitate stuff that’s unimaginable (e.g. dimension hacking) yet only one remaining big upgrade away from being able to fuse nuclei. Which is where we are now.
I’d guess all civilizations that are Root care about each other.

|content=The following is pure speculation (Tutored by experience w/ GU):
I think we sent a signal to the cosmos in 1945 and then on Nov. 1, 1952. Fusing Nuclei is what you do JUST before you become root. If this is right, we let the cosmos know “Earth is root adjacent” w/o awareness.

|content=Is there anyone in the cosmos listening? Perhaps not. But we are all acting as if living on a terrestrial surface with the ability to fuse nuclei is some totally normal thing due to <70 years of good luck. Which is insane.
Now what if I’m right in the above and the cosmos cares?

|content=The idea of a newly space-time-faring unwise civilization with fresh root level access is a nightmare. And no one but no one on earth takes this seriously anymore. After 1952 fundamental physics went on progressing normally for ~20yrs. So after that it’s been~50yrs of stagnation.

|content=In those ~50yrs we learned to stop worrying. About Fusion-weapons, interstellar travel, a cosmos that listens or even our ability to progress to the end. In 1984, physicists were talking about the end of physics without irony. They then failed, while failing to report failure.

|content=So they told another story: “String theory didn’t fail!! It may take 100s of years to figure it out!” That is “If we String Theorists can’t make progress, a Theory of Everything is now far over the Horizon for everyone else.” But that’s not logically necessary. I say we’re close.

|content=It makes sense to worry about *every* small boutique  program: Lisi, Wolfram, Barbour, LQG, Tegmark, ConnesLott, Octonions, amplitudhedron, etc. Our science/defense establishment doesn’t seem to get this idea: after 50yrs of no progress it seems too abstract to practical men.

|content=I learned from my buddy @SamHarrisOrg that he thought 👽 would be Millenia ahead of us.
Look at Nov 1, 1952 from Nov 1 1902: you don’t have powered flight, know what relativity or the quantum is, know that neutrons exist, know about anti-matter, etc.
From ‘02, ‘52 IS millennia.

|content=Well, we may or may not have a major update in our future. And if it unlocks dimension hacking, looking glass matter, VEV/potential hacking, [[(Pseudo-)Riemannian Geometry|multi-temporal pseudo-Riemannian metrics]], Dark Chemisty, Dark Light, additional families, RaritaSchwinger fields, etc then we get upgraded.

|content=And I believe all at once.
What does that mean? I honestly don’t know.
But Imagine you sent a chainsaw, a Bugatti, Ibogaine, “My-1st-Crisper”, and an F-18 to a badly behaved 5yr old child for a birthday present w a simple card: “Enjoy!” We’d worry specifically b/c immaturity.

|content=That’s what NDT has most wrong. He thinks we are far behind anything that could visit us, but that ISN’T backed up by science. He’d have to explain why we aren’t “root adjacent” right now or that root buys us nothing. Well?
Think of the relationship of Iran to nukes for example.

|content=Iran is now Nuke adjacent. And their facilities and scientists keep running into mysterious problems.  Why? Surely not because Iran is too insignificant to her more advanced neighbors. That would mirror NDT’s argument. My argument is that root level access to nuclei *suffices*.

|content=Am I saying “Aliens are here”? Of course not. But the “Root Adjacency Hypothesis” is not properly discussed almost anywhere. Which defies all explanation.
Perhaps everyone else is right & I’m wrong. Absolutely! But it’s common for the world to make a crazy dumb idea a consensus.
