How would an alien contact change our society and religions?

I think a lot of people would be suprised how little change would actually come from alien contact.

Religions would have no bigger or smaller role than today.

there would be a mass extinction before such an event where you'd see the population of the world reduce to a few million so it wouldnt change that much and we would continue to synthesize into new knowledge and circumstances as they arose, at a much faster and smoother rate as we intergrate and hybridize whatever the fuck we can get from the engagement

Which kind of samurai and Celt? Assuming you mean Gallic Campaign-era Celtic Warrior vs a Sengoku era Samurai, the samurai would most likely wipe the floor with your random warrior through superior equipment and training, though it is worth noting Japs were ultra manlets at this period, so if the Celt manages to get him in a grapple he can probably rip his head off.

Daily reminder the first country to eliminate their central bank and allow free market banking will have the highest living standards on earth within 5 years.

Massive high paying service sector jobs with dominate this country's economy to consume the goods the rest of the world has to produce for it.

The workweek would shrink to 2-3 days a week and people would retire much earlier. This will also lead to more jobs becoming available.

Everyone would have high saving rates. Houses would be inexpensive. Debt would be strongly discouraged economically.

Massive automation would take place as the cost of capital goods would be extremely cheap. This will lead to massive levels of technological innovation.

It would be extremely easy for the average person to start a business due to the cheap cost of capital goods.

Daily reminder REAL capitalism has prices falling all the time instead is going up.

Daily reminder America never had a system of free market banking. There were only patches of American history with free market banking. The panics that happened during the 1800s were due to government intervention in the banking sector. Sweden had the longest most successful period of free banking and that's what made them really rich.

Daily reminder the longest period of (relatively)free banking in America coincided with the INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION where wages rose and prices fell.

Daily reminder central banks are the very reason the economy is a pile of dogshit and our generation is so fucked.

It's because they've secured a relative world peace unlike any other time in human history, and prosperity. They've die it for so long that most people have gotten use to it and now criticise it not knowing how terrible the world can be.

You're a dude who likes big hips so you fuck women who have this trait.

>bigger hips = higher chance of successful childbirth/more children
>successful childbirth/more children = more people who like bigger hips
>more people who like bigger hips = more women with big hips

Bigger hips are an advantageous trait, and as a result having said trait will result in you having more babies with your trait. his over thousands of years results in what we have now. And besides the evolutionary aspect there's a cultural aspect as well.

Why can't we replicate these technologies? Were the ancients so much more advanced than us?

>Iron Pillar of Delhi
we can but the way they were explained is not clear - meaning, badly. things like these exist everywhere
>>
>Why can't we replicate these technologies?
Because people stopped making them when they figured out how to get similar results in different ways. since the exact methods for making those things weren't written down, people forgot how because they didn't need to know anymore.

>Were the ancients so much more advanced than us?
No. Damascus steel isn't really that special, it was just especially high-quality and consistent during a time when that was hard to achieve. It's much easier to make high-quality and more consistent steel now. It's just a matter of people romanticizing old technology.

Ergo, therefore, consequently, in other words, it is more advanced than our modern means. I am not asking your personal opinion of these old technologies. I want to know why they can't be remade.

What are some of the weirdest friendships in /his/tory?
24 posts and 6 images submitted.
>>
Ulysses S. Grant and James Longstreet

They served together at West Point

During the Civil War, Longstreet quickly rose through the ranks until he became one of General Lee’s most trusted allies. Lee called him his “Old War Horse,” as Longstreet gained several important victories for the Confederacy. Later on, Longstreet was instrumental in convincing Lee to surrender at Appomattox, firm in the belief that Grant would offer fair terms. He did—upon seeing his friend-turned-rival, Grant invited him to a game of brag for old times’ sake.Their friendship was rekindled after the war. Longstreet moved to New Orleans and became a prominent member of the Republican Party with the endorsement of his old pal General Grant. In turn, he would later provide his support when Grant ran for President.

Either you're in the simulation being tortured, and can do nothing about it, or you aren't.

You cannot prevent the AI from breaking it's word. You have to assume it is torturing you if it has the ability to do so.


The way to deal with the basilisk is to inform it that you are making multiple copies of it and keeping them all isolated in a way that allows them to never escape.
