Vast? Not disagreeing by any means but you're kidding yourself if you think humanity has "thoroughly and desperately scanned" even a fraction of a fraction of only THE MILKY WAY. We haven't even set foot on another planet in OUR OWN SOLAR SYSTEM. Even if we were to assume all the species on earth were looking
We are SO helplessly ignorant when it comes to the rest of the universe. We're still grasping at straws and don't know how half the stuff works or even where any of it is really located.
Will we ever find God? I don't know, but we're sure as shit nowhere near understanding anything enough to say a god DIDN'T do it.
But it's like dropping a plate from the top of the empire state building. You're a block away and a little chip hits you. You don't know where it came from or why. You don't know the larger whole it used to make up. You and your family could spend generations examining that one little chip and learn EVERYTHING about it while still knowing nothing about it's origin or original shape.
Either way, we've got a lot to learn, which excites me
Have you seen the Kaufman documentary? IMO Carey is certifiably insane, he spat on someone and refused to apologize because it wasn't him, it was Andy. He literally thought he was possessed, or at least acted like that's what he thought
World peace might be achievable once we've evolved a bit and have been adopted into a galactic conglomerate or something, definitely not in our lifetimes. But we can help lay the groundwork.
Thank you, finally someone else with some empathy not excusing every stupid unnecessary thing monarchs force on their subjects. Even ones in the military.
These military proceedings for monarchies are completely unnecessary, and can VERY EASILY be done in a way that doesn't put people in danger. It's not about that though, it's about a show of force, showing your army that you own that you can command to do whatever you want, including standing to the point of fainting, and that's supposed to be something to be proud of?
That situation is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from any of the NECESSARY examples you listed. Examples that already have safety precautions in place that are reviewed and updated regularly based on current situations
Are these people ACTUALLY their military though, or just for show? I always thought they were just for show but I don't actually know. Not that it makes a huge difference, just curious
So ignore the bigger problem because the already provided temporary solution might keep your friend from suffering permanent damage, after being put into a situation known to lead to this outcome.
Maybe don't put a group of human beings in a situation where they're constantly passing out then? Especially if they're children, it's wild that that's the comparison you use. The issue here isn't JUST that they're expected to do nothing when comrades are in trouble (yes, even with trained help there), but it's ALSO that people like you excuse it because it's "the norm." Like sure, yippee, they have trained help for when they pass out, but apparently they're EXPECTED to pass out? Ok
I don't see any of the other "soldiers" moving in to help here. Or are you talking about the random person that runs in? And if so, how does that prove in any way that the soldiers themselves aren't trained to ignore fallen comrades? These pictures just make it look worse cuz his buddies literally just have to stand there and wait for someone else to rush in
