Fascinating, isn't it?

I'm fascinated by the search for intelligent life. Anywhere in the cosmos. The assumption is that we have intelligent life on planet Earth. Of course, that may prove to be a wrong assumption. We ain't intelligent, after all. At least compared to other forms of intelligence. Could be that we earthlings are so stupid that we couldn't recognize intelligent life if we saw it. Maybe intelligent life forms are trying to communicate with us now. But we are too dumb/stupid to know it. Think about it. What if we humans tried to communicate intelligently with an ant? Or maybe even a Republican. An impossibility? Could well be. We have big radio telecopes/antennas around the world. Aimed at catching signals from so-called intelligent life on other earth-like planets in outer space. But maybe we should be looking at non-earth-like planets. Capable of harboring life forms far more advanced than humans or glorified apes. Maybe they have taken spiritual forms. Rather than physical forms. Allowing them to live and thrive on such planets as Jupiter and Neptune. But we lack the senses and the intelligence to see 'em. They could even be visiting us at the moment. Right here on Earth. One of 'em could be sitting right next to me, trying to stimulate my brain/mind. And getting me to write what I'm writing now. Fascinating, isn't it? --Jim Broede
