what if we are Aliens?

Interestingly, when I was last here,this was under the thread titled 'Alien Abductions cause Aspergers'...

I think you could be right, at least to some degree. When I was younger I used to wonder if I was part faerie or something or I certainly didn't seem human. If you think of life like radio waves I feel like I am a different frequency too everyone else so we don't mix and I can only connect with other people in my range - other aspies. I'm not sure if that even makes sense now it's written down

The Faerie are humans, just a subspecies. The rule is: if they can breed together and produce fertile offspring, they're the same species.

Dream on, as I said before, we're born from human vagina's.

Alien deduction topic

When I was a kid I thought I had been an implant in my mother before I decended from her birth canal (vagina). I thought my origins were Martian. This was the time before the moon landing, DNA and even Star trek. Kids were more innocent then.

Remember, ol' JC thought his father was God.

I always feel like I'm making observations or compiling data. And not just for myself.

Yet another reason this is laughably improbable, in addition to the reasons I listed in my post on the first page. This is from an article on NewScientist (linked to here):

I notice that my eyes look like alien eyes, sometimes.

pat2rome, nice prose. For a moment I got lost in it the way I do when I read a good Harvard or Yale-y law grad's writing. However incredible, I feel compelled to point out just one small flaw in your line of thinking: Item #2 - why do you project your own ToM on a potentially (hypothetically) "alien species" ? Do you think, arguendo, they would have a "normal" g-Intelligence, perfect EQi, and pass a WAIS-R with flying colors ?

But, what if the "alien species" we are hypothetically portraying, in fact, existed and had a different type of intelligence that made them lightening speeds faster than human evolution in gaining scientific knowhow ?

You can't ground your entire argument on the idea "normal" human intelligence is anything at all like "aliens," Autistics, or Autistic savants - I'm just sayin'

Because it is pretty clear to the savvy, while your prose is amazing, your argument has a big hole at the bottom thru which all credibility has sunk. But thx for the good laugh. You should be a Hollywood Sci-Fi writer.

On the other note, I don't really go around thinking (the terminology employed by this thread) that 'Im an alien' because I'm an Autistic savant. That's not it at all.

It's more like, for me, going around in Russia when you can only speak Arabic. Being an Autistic savant is more like a foreign language barrier than anything else.

I've always had this idea! There are several ways this could work, in spite of the complaints of nonbelievers. Firstly, the universe is so incredibly vast that we're given no reason to say that it isn't infinite. If it is infinite, that would mean that the possibility of any given event occurring would be infinity/x. As such, the probability of any conceivable event would be infinity. Secondly, someone made a comment about the improbability of extraterrestrials being able to interbreed with humans. However, since we're dealing with a supposedly highly-advanced alien race, I believe it to be entirely possible that they possess the technology necessary to create partial-clones of humans with some of their genotypes.

However, my most recent theory would be that this is a sort of evolutionary split. For example, someone stated that chimpanzees have 98.5% of human DNA. Even though this is true, humans are hyper-evolved compared to chimpanzees. In the same way, I think we Aspies are on an evolutionary break. For an example, I constantly find myself thinking existentially, but in different ways, and not in the usual depressed style. My style of thinking is that nothing is certain except for our own consciousness. This seems to confuse most NTs. They either are not able to understand this concept, or they simply cannot. Either way, I do and they don't, so I think I must be on a different level.

..then I demand to be deported. I wanna go home...

The answer is obvious: Some normal Golgafrinchans were on Ship B when it crashed. We are their children, while NT's are descended from the middle managers, hairdressers, telephone sanitizers, and the like.

Either that, or we all evolved together in the Lake Victoria region 200,000 years ago. But that's just crazy talk.

The 3 things that firstly sprang to my mind on reading this thread were

1. GM Foods. 2 plant species who naturally couldn't cross pollinate getting mixed together to make "superior" versions.

2. Dolly the sheep.

3. Jurassic Park

I am sure a highly evolved alien race, if one existed that wished to do so could mix our dna about and if they also were composed of dna, could mix and match to get a nice little outcome. Maybe their testing is what causes some major abnormalities. Like some fetuses being born without brains ect.


Also humans could always be one giant experiment that aliens chose to conduct by adding intelligence to primates.

I'm not sure the word alien is really correct, but I've always felt completely out of place, and always felt like I was seeing more than others were. A sort of 4th person perspective.

Sort of related, when I was a kid I was convinced I was either a robot, the only conscious person in the world, and/or immortal.

in the words of the great wise one, (Captain kirk) "spock off" we are human, just another kind of human.
