Do Aliens actually exist ?

My anal probe is itching like fuck. Must be something on my wavelength.

I disagree with your opening salvo, but yes, and infinite universe (or multiverse) means 100% certainty of life existing elsewhere. But also 100% certainty that another earth exists with another Premier League and everything else that we experience, down to every last atom being the same. And then there's another solar system which is also indentical, but where 1 hydrogen atom moved slightly to the left. And another one, with another different hydrogen atom. in essence a near-infinite number of Earths, imperceptibly different from our own.

So when we start talking about infinite, the situation soon gets very silly indeed (if not mathematically possible).

You seem acquainted with the theory - but your subsequent remarks are puzzling.

I open my argument with the possibility - indeed the likelihood - that the universe is infinite - in some of the ways that it's infinite, sentient life might not exist beyond our planet - though, I think, extremely unlikely - in some of the ways that the universe may be infinite, other sentient lifeforms are guaranteed.

Probably sentient life is guaranteed in any universe where there is not some sort of constraint limiting intelligence to our own planet.

I think you're in much stronger position to suppose the following: in the observable universe, that is the universe we can view constrained by the speed of light and by the finite age of the universe, no life exists other than our own which is capable or on the cusp of interstellar transport.

I think that premise is highly unlikely too but it's at least tenable; perhaps this is what you are arguing.

Of course aliens exist, I saw them on TV.

You must have drove past dewsbury.

To face, and be free of, the 'darkness' within one must be wiling to open to greater 'light.' In opening to greater light, one may encounter forms/concepts of life
that would be considered alien according to the awareness that was available in the previous level of light.

I am fine now mate. I got the colander back on my head.

Did we win the league?

We could possibly be one step beyond them..

Sto talking madness!!

So anyone/anything that appears to be outside of your current level of open-mindedness is mentally ill, deluded, cuntish? Wow,lets all hold up Magicpole
as an example of the absolute peak of human potential and wisdom. Then again, maybe not.

Yes, yes, and yes. If you believe stuff that is utterly nonsense then yes. If you ignore your critical faculties and believe you’re talking to an invisible being, yes, you suffer from a mild mental delusion. I as a child suffered this too. It can be cured. If you believe there are aliens cutting about, you need help. If you believe lizard aliens in human form run the world you’re a Fucking headcase and need intensive therapy. If you believe aliens built the pyramids, you are cracked.

That doesn’t mean I’m the pinnacle of anything because people who believe that utter shite are mentally ill. It’s not an either or.

I would say that it’s almost inevitable that there’s intelligent life elsewhere in the universe and it’s also extremely unlikely that we’ll ever find it or it will find us due to the sheer scale of the universe.
If the universe was the size of the earth, the earth would be the size of the nucleus of an atom and any electromagnetic emissions from earth couldn’t be detected from further than a few centimetres due to the fact that the first transmissions have travelled just over 100 light years in a universe that’s 93 billion light years across. It would be like trying to find a single specific grape out of the trillions that exist that could be anywhere in the total volume of the earth not just on the surface.
