May or not be a “theory”, but the first thing I thought of was that feeling you get when you’re on top of a building and think “what if I jumped?” Or when you’re driving and think “what if I just swerve into traffic.” Well it’s actually got a name: L’appel du vide. French for “The call of the void.” I always thought the idea of some ethereal presence calling you towards darkness... creepy.

These are called intrusive thoughts. They stick around only because they are upsetting. When they come up, recognize them as random thoughts and watch them float out of your mind. They have no power unless you give them power. They have no deeper meaning. If you think about it, we have the opposite kind of extreme thoughts as well, but they don’t worry us. For example: who hasn’t dreamed of winning the lottery, quitting their job and buying a private island? That scenario is just as unrealistic as you hurling yourself from a balcony. Yet it doesn’t stick around because it’s not negative and scary.
Cupcake Cloud 4 years ago (edited)
A lot of these thoughts are acutally rooted in survival instinct, but to people with anxiety, they can often be more intrusive than they should be. We literally imagine the worst and most dangerous actions we could take, even when it's followed by 'what the f**k brain, i don't want to do that, that would seriously harm or kill me'. It's to keep us aware of what NOT to do and whether we need to be extra careful around something. They can also be signs of empathy and a wish to protect others, if we have them about other people (or animals for that sake). One should only worry if these thoughts are disturbingly intrusive in a way that inhibits your daily life or if they stem from an acutal wish to harm oneself or others. The very fact that you find the thought terrifying is why the brain is highlighting it, to keep you aware. So in many cases they do serve some purpose in the weird, primeval part of our brain. Our brain rarely (if ever?) does anything just for the sake of upsetting us for no reason.

We’ve all pretty much heard of Uncanny Valley (the creeped out anxious feeling when you look at something that’s humanoid but there’s something clearly wrong with it. Like the wax figures at Madame Tussaud’s or that AI robot Sophia) But my favorite theory to come out of it is that we get that strange feeling because somewhere along human evolution we’ve learned to be wary of things that look human... but aren’t.

Dude it’s because we’re wired to look for things that are wrong with people. If we see something that “looks human but is off” they’re likely a corpse, injured, or sick, and our instinct is to avoid either getting injured/killed by whatever hurt those people, or avoid getting sick. Disappointed that this was the #1 vote currently. :/

Sorry, but humans are also apes. Moreover, Homo eregaster, Neanderthals, Denisovans, etc were all humans, since they were of the genus "Homo".

More of a story than a theory, but it correlates to some of these and makes me think some could be real. When I was younger I had this little stuffed animal dog I named rocky. One night, my younger sisters and I (who all slept in the same room so we could hangout together) were messing around, and I two handed over head tossed rocky into the wall directly in front of my bed. He hit the wall, slid down behind whatever was in front of my bed, and was NEVER seen again. I immediately went to go get him and he just wasn’t anywhere. We tore the whole entire small room apart. We all saw the event occur. Over time the room has been completely emptied out, everything in it rearranged, walls painted, everything- and no rocky. He just completely phased out of existence. Makes me think he glitched out of the system or something.

A few months later it reappeared, in the exact same spot it had been in months before.

Same thing with a ring my grandmother gave me before she passed. It was so weird. I literally watched it fall off my hand. I looked EVERYWHERE. I tore the room apart, I even vacuumed thinking I'll hear it get sucked up then retrieve it. Nope. I went to have a good cry in the living room and told my Grandma I was sorry for being a clutz and please give it back. I walked into my room a while later and right in the middle of my floor, in the middle of a fresh vacuum track was my ring. So strange.

Years later, when I was cleaning out my room, I found the exact same powerball under my bed.

If you're scuba diving above a coral reef, and you know that there SHOULD be fish all around you, but you don't see any, it's most likely that they have learned that for some reason it's important not to be seen. And since you're a newcomer to this environment, chances are it's not you they're hiding from. EDIT: the number of scuba divers saying they've experienced this and then noticed a shark nearby is alarming.

Pretty much anytime your in the ocean there are sharks swimming nearby. We are no their food source so generally don’t bother coming near enough to do any harm. They are no out to get us, it’s just that sharks explore using their jaws which unfortunately has a lot of razor sharp teeth that will do a lot of damage. Very very rarely has a person been eaten by a shark, most of the time the person is let go once the shark realises we are not tasty and the person dies from drowning, shock or blood loss.

Our “world” is out perception of our surroundings in our 3 dimensional life. It’s possible that we are living amongst beings, things and events that we cannot experience because we are 3 dimensions and they are not.
JessG 4 years ago
A famous Victorian school teacher wrote “Flatland: a Romance of Many Dimensions” (which Carla Sagan has cited in his docs) It illustrates how a one dimensional being would see the world, just lines. And when a 3D sphere visits, he can only see a line. I think about this often actually. I find it fascinating to think of all the other dimensions we cannot perceive. I think about insects, and how they perceive our world, like a fly with a thousand eyes. Their view of this many faceted world is not wrong, it is their 3D world. So who’s to say that our view of the world is The “correct” view, and not the way an insect sees it? I dunno, just food for thought

If the human body senses trauma it is unable to combat, it will switch off metabolism, pump endorphins, and slip into a pain free dissociative state. In essence, shutting down. Its been seen in air crashes and lots of places really. Basically your body can switch itself off.

my body takes it to a new level. I suffer from Neural Basal reactions. When I have sudden pain (pinch my finger, cut myself etc...)

Just one of many theories attempting to answer the Fermi so-called "Paradox". Which really just ignores the most likely explanations. 1) Life is just not as common as they assume it might be. Likely due to very specific conditions required. I don't think we're alone in the universe, but we know of only world on which life (let alone intelligent life) has evolved... and we still don't know anywhere near all of the circumstances under which it did so. 2) Advanced life with an interplanetary civilization (never mind an interstellar one) is going to require instantaneous (or nearly so) advanced technology communications in order to maintain a civilization amongst several planets/colonies. We can't detect/contact them because, by analogy, they're using radio, we're using smoke signals.

Cosmology can be disturbing. For instance, I recently learned of dead end trips. There are some destinations that you shouldn't try for. It's possible to travel so far away from where you started, that the expansion of the universe will exceed the speed you were travelling at. You can't return home, because home is receding faster than you can travel. You can't reach your destination, because it too is receding faster than you can travel. You can no longer get anywhere, only get further away from everything. You cannot reach any destination, even if you travel forever.

I definitely think that conspiracy theorists are overwhelmed with the unpredictability of the world and hang onto whichever theory puts their "preferred enemy" into the group of control... it implies a) everything bad that happens is due to the people I already think of as bad, b) I'm definitely and always one of the good people, c) I'm so special for catching on, d) even if I don't control events now, I might in the future if I fight my enemy. I definitely think of it as lazy, both in respect to self-awareness (you don't need to question yourself) and level of intellectual difficulty (it turns highly complex issues of the world into simple black-and-white problems).

That humans almost went extinct. 70,000 years ago a volcano in Indonesia erupted. There’s theories that we have a genetic bottleneck around that time. Took our population down to 10,000-3,000 (like the size of one small town). Lots of fresh genetic material died with those who were lost and the resulting inbreeding could have resulted in some genetic diseases that have made their way into humans today.

As far as I know humanity went through several bottlenecks actually. Our genetic diversity is quite low compared to other species.
Leo Domitrix 4 years ago
More recent studies have shown that the Toba event to which this refers probably did not cause a genetic bottleneck, and there's no reason to assume we'd have evolved better with a broader gene pool. Also, a pool of 2,000 individuals or more is a pretty healthy base breeding population, IIRC. Either way, many diseases have nothing to do with inbreeding, but are due to random mutations. Some can occur, die out, and the recur, without any intermingling of the relevant gene pools. Honestly, it's way weirder to thibk of *that*, for me!

Not because of toba, but it does seem we went through some kind of bottleneck during the time where Africa had more recently become drier due to dropping ocean levels. This is theoretical and based on our genetics, but seems very plausible as we have a teensy gene pool compared to most creatures

This happened to my husband's coworker. She was sitting around with her perfectly sane husband (until that very moment) and 5 year old daughter. Her husband got up and said "did you hear that?" Then he got up and looked out the window and said "oh my god". She ran over to the window and he said "they are so creepy" and she asked what? He said "the little green men that are coming to get us". She of course saw nothing. He kept seeing and hearing things that she didn't for weeks and weeks. She had to stop all work travel because she couldn't trust her daughter with him. He finally was diagnosed and put on medication and did well for a time but then of course became paranoid that the pills were meant to kill him so he stopped taking them. She sadly had to divorce him because he simply refused to stay on his treatment. They were a lovely couple, this was so sad and unexpected.

I had a professor in college who taught physics and he explained why we will likely never come across aliens. The universe is about 14 billion years old. Over the course of that time, it’s likely that intelligent life, besides life on earth, has existed. However, 14 billion years is an INSANELY long time. Other life forms have probably risen and fallen thousands of times over. Extreme dynasties with technology we can only dream of having have probably existed. Life forms could have lasted hundreds of thousands of years and still not even be close to our timeline. The chances of other intelligent life forms existing at the same time as humans, in the 14 billion years the universe has hosted a possibility for life, is really unlikely. Statistically, intelligent life to have formed, prospered, or even existed at the same time as humans is extremely small simply due to the absolute drop in a bucket that we are on terms of time. We may very well be completely alone in the universe.

Ok this one is rough so please bare with me, So the common time travel question is would you go back and kill baby hitler? Well imagine if that was you, to us in the current timeline you would be a hero that killed someone truly evil before they had chance to corrupt or endanger anyone but to the people of that time you are a monster, a baby killer. They couldn’t exactly explain to people, I was sent from the future to kill this baby to save hundreds of millions of lives. No-one would believe him and would just assume he was some nutcase, or maybe they’re not allowed to tell anyone as per the agreement with the future government? It makes you wonder all the people through time that have been called monsters for killing babies, what if they were just heroes from the future saving us all? They couldn’t tell anyone either?

Ah but think about this. If you went back in time and killed Hitler, you may end up eliminating your own existence or someone close to you. Why?

Think of how many couples met during that war. Got married. Had children. Maybe you’re one of those children. Well, Hitler dies at birth? That’s that for you. You’re never born. Neither are your own children. Or theirs. Or theirs. Or theirs.....

Would we be where we are today if Hitler wasn't born? Also, you don't really need to kill baby Hitler. Just travel back in time and stop him from being conceived at all. No hero's no villains but think about this. If you get rid of Hitler then no one would need to build a time machine to stop him so you would probably not get sent back in time thus allowing Hitler to be born. Ooh! Paradoxical time loop!

The paradox applies here. If you kill tiny Hitler, then Hitler's brand of fascism doesn't arise; another does. And you end up with a different result, which means you don't think of Hitler as a causative force, and have no reason to go back in time to kill little Hitler. It'd be someone else, and the shape/face/details of the horrors would be slightly different ---- perhaps less focused on Jews ---- who knows? So... Yep.

The dark forest theory. This explains the Fremi paradox, why we haven’t seen any other advanced life forms despite the vastness of the universe. Other advanced life forms don’t send out signals into the rest of the universe because they’re worried that something more advanced and dangerous is going to find them first. There’s another idea that other civilizations know there’s something out there but don’t send any signals because it has no reason to not wipeout the entire planet. There’s a science fiction book based on this and I think this quote explains it better than I can: “The universe is a dark forest. Every civilization is an armed hunter stalking through the trees like a ghost, gently pushing aside branches that block the path and trying to tread without sound. Even breathing is done with care. The hunter has to be careful, because everywhere in the forest are stealthy hunters like him. If he finds another life—another hunter, angel, or a demon, a delicate infant to tottering old man, a fairy or demigod—there's only one thing he can do: open fire and eliminate them”

We've been broadcasting radio signals for over a century and they've gone out into the galaxy as far as they can travel in that time. If aliens used radio spectrum communications in the early days of their technological development (a very great likelihood), then it's too late. The word is out that there a technological lifeform has evolved. Unless they've been visited by others and that's known to them, it isn't likely any species will have the foresight to think their technology might betray them to others. They likely don't even think there's a possibility others may exist. The serious consideration of probable alien life is a fairly recent one for us.

He comes in and I say, I heard everything you said to the residents. He was shocked when I repeated the conversation.

I wish it was just a theory! There have been documented cases of people "waking up" during surgery under anesthesia being able to feel but not move.

Usually the retellings end with the anesthesist giving them a higher dose and they go deeper under.

It is certain that at least some of the 7 astronauts were alive until the crash in the ocean. Of the 4 recovered emergency oxygen packs, 3 were manually activated, and the amount of used oxygen was consistent with the time from the shuttle breaking up until the crash. There were also switches moved from their launch position on the control board of pilot Michael J. Smith (which could not have been caused by the crash, according to investigators). It is not known however if the crew remained conscious the entire duration of the descent. That would have depended on how quickly the cockpit depressurized (the emergency oxygen was not pressurized), and this could not be established from the recovered debris.
Alexandru Bucur 4 years ago
The heartbreaking thing about this is the fact the Shuttle ended up what it was because the Department of Defence wanted a large hold for spy satellite deployment and retrieval, which is why the crew compartment ended stacked on two levels which meant ejection seats couldn't be used as initially envisaged, and, by the time the DoD dropped the requirements, it was too late to change the design. As it were, there were sizeable gaps in the abort modes which means there was no way to get the astronauts out during the two minutes between SRB ignition and burnoff, which is when Challenger happened and during reentry, which is when Columbia happened. Couple that with a more politicised NASA leadership which put launch deadlines in front of safety and ignored all warnings and you get a recipe for disaster.

The universe could be dying, and we'd have no way to know until we just suddenly vanish from existence. There could be a sort of quantum energy wave, can't remember what it's called because it's been so long since I read about it. Zero point collapse, maybe? Vacuum bubble burst? But whatever it is, it's an energy wave that starts at some point, and spreads outward at the speed of light, annihilating any matter, energy, and even spacetime in its path. Because the wave travels at the speed of light, it is invisible. We would have no way of seeing it coming, because any light emitted by it would hit us at the exact same time that the wave itself hits us. So, all of a sudden, the sun might just vanish from existence. We wouldn't notice because the sun's light from eight minutes ago would still be reaching us. Eight minutes later, the earth just vanishes from existence. No warning. No trace.

Five out of six of possible "you" would live and one would die but no matter how many times you play there would always be versions of you that would survive. This would give those versions of "you" the illusion of immorality. This would mean that no matter the risks you would take, there would always be some version of you that would survive. If this is true, it would mean that you could live your life completely free of the fear of death and take on any risk. But the only way to know if this is true is to expose yourself to high odds of deaths, repeatedly. Also this would mean that as time passed there would always be a more decrepit and invalid version of you surviving, maybe forever... Anyways that or lizard people.

Why in the world would it be impossible to imagine that in all 6 parallel universes.... you ate the bullet. Parallel universes don't have opposite outcomes and the fact that you pulled the trigger in all of them, means that you all of "you" could die.

The first man in space (some Russian cosmonaut whose name I can't remember) was not the true first. The actual first was a cosmonaut whose mission was unsuccessful and he either died in orbit or on reentry. Once it became apparent that he was doomed the Russian authorities cut off communications, leaving him to die in isolation, and covered up the existence of the mission.

That is literally impossible, because everyone was keeping a very close eye on rocket launches from the other side and anything sent to low earth orbit is visible to all. Also, all astronaut communications on both sides were in the clear which is why Korabl-Sputnik 4, the "dress rehearsal" of Gagarin's flight, had a recording of a choir to test the spacecraft's radios, because they knew the world was listening and they didn't want anyone to accuse them of trickery. This is where the whole "lost cosmonaut" conspiracy theory comes from, because this launch coincided with the death of cosmonaut Valentin Bondarenko, who died in a fire inside a full oxygen atmosphere chamber during ground testing, something the USSR only made public years later, too late to save the Crew of Apollo 1, who died in a similar manner. Also, KS4 carried a cosmonaut dummy which had a sign placed over the face reading "dummy" so no one would mistake it for a dead body if it landed outside the USSR.

This actually has more to it. Yuri Gagarin is the first person in space to return ALIVE. Vladimir Ilyushin was actually the first person in space, his rocket was all sketchy and his backup was actually yuri. But he didn’t want yuri to go becuase yuri was his bestfriend so he went. Upon re-entry his space capsule(?) didnt deploy the parachute so he “plummeted” to his death. But when they saw his body it was beyond recognizable, he actually burned to death. There is actually a famous photo associated with it, search up “ Vladimir Ilyushin photo “. RIP Vladimir Ilyushin

That the numbers of people that go missing per year expressed as a percentage happens to be the same percentage as the amount of animals that get picked off from a herd in a year by predators. It implies we are being farmed.
Dynein 4 years ago
I'd like to see the actual numbers for this one. For the people going missing per year, are the people who appear again (if long later) subtracted from that amount? And which data went into the percentage for animals picked from a herd? I feel like their should be a rather large variation between the different predator-prey constellations, because the prey's generation time HAS to be factor (compare multiple offspring several times a year vs. one offspring every few years - these populations don't regenerate at the same rate, so for the second one you have to remove MUCH less individuals to get the same effect on the population). Also, I should note that the overwhelming majority of predators do NOT farm animals, so "we are being farmed" is a strange conclusion.

That all intelligent life kills itself. So the theory started out with the Fermi Paradox, basically there are so many planets in this galaxy, let alone the entire universe, that it is statistically impossible that we're the only planet that developed intelligent life. So where is everybody? Well the secondary theory is that every intelligent species reaches the point where they have a technology that can kill their entire species. And that the vast majority end up killing themselves at that point. Those who survive this time in their history are so rare that we haven't found them and they haven't found us. As a species we reached that point in our history with the discovery of nuclear weapons, and were at the height of risk during the Cold War (at least thus far in our collective history) but there are various technologies that could bring a species to this point in their history. This would mean that while so far we've survived that it's statistically unlikely we will survive long term.
Savannah Mcquillan 4 years ago
We also would not live much longer if we DID meet intelligent life, because their weapons of mass destruction are likely different from ours and if they are even a few decades older then we would die for sure because we've struggled going through our own and if we had to make it through all that again I don't think we could.

Aragorn II Elessar 4 years ago
Pro tip, if you truly want to not be seen at night, wear dark green, grey, or like a dark brownish color. Wear mottled colors, so it breaks up your shape against the environment. Very little in nature is truly black, so wearing black will create a deeper shadow than would naturally occur, and to the observant, will lead to your inevitable discovery. If you see something, freeze and remain perfectly still. Often you aren’t seen until to move to avoid being seen. Nothing draws the eye faster than movement. All that being said, a driver of a car at night probably won’t be that observant, so if you plan to cross streets at night, do it quickly or be visible.

more of a philosophical idea rather than a theory. but solipsism. the idea that you are the only one that is real and that exists in this world. everyone else and everything else is fake or is an illusion. edit: people seem to liken solipsism with imaginary worlds. They’re not the same. It’s not too much a matter of imagining things, therefore manifesting a better world for yourself isn’t a thing. It’s more of just questioning if anything outside of yourself is even real. It doesn’t mean you have the intelligence or power to consciously make everything up. It just means you can’t really prove any other’s consciousness except your own. You’re self-aware, but not world-aware. I should also clarify I do not adhere to this idea, but have definitely at some point entertained it.

If you read into Christian Gnosticism it gets weird. I'm only into it because I've been writing and it's been interesting to use it as a basis for one of the cults. Essentially, Gnosticism is a idea (not a religion) that incorporates many religions and non canonical texts to loosely map out what God is. I'll tell you a couple of things I know, bear in mind I don't believe it and this isn't me preaching. First is the idea of Aeons. You have the Father, the God that is everything and then you have Aeons. Aeons are like Aechangels, except they are also God. They are a part of Heaven which is known as Fullness. A while ago one of the Aeons, Sophia (Wisdom), [messed] up and had a son. This was an issue because that son was born into the material world. That being became the Demiurge, and is what you think of as God. He decided he was alone in the world and declared himself God. This is were it gets creepy. His name is legitimately Lovecraftian: Yaldabaoth. He is represented as a snake with thr head of a lion. He is everything good and evil. That's why they think God is the way he is: he'll flood the world and damn you to hell for saying the wrong thing, but will also create miracles and give people hope. He is a blind idiot, chaos and justice bundled together. That also makes him the devil. They also believe that when you die you go to a lower form of Heaven before you are processed into the Fullness. That means the being that is you stops existing and you become apart of God, everyone who you love and hate. It's just really creepy to think the Abrahamic God is a selfish and morally inconsistent character. And that you essentially still go to the Atheist "afterlife," despite heaven beig real. Edit: apart, a part

The idea has to be simple enough, connected to some sort of miracle/ famous stories in real life to form & stay in impact. My religion has evolved in sort of stories based on real life incidents, but they r so embellished & changed for effect & to get the proper message through that u can't say they r same thing. Still i like having something to believe in. it also tells me my god is diff than urs & i can add any characteristics that makes me comfortable, instead of literally believing the scriptures

Yes, but all religion begins with the same fallacy of circular reasoning: that because the universe exists, someone must have created it. Once you've accepted that (with absolutely no evidence), it's much easier to ascribe human motives, personality, and such to this mythical invention. It's hardly a stretch, at this point, for the human mind to claim moral superiority based on this myth, and start oppressing others who are not "chosen." Religion is the highest form of human narcissism.

.... what is creepy about thinking this about the abrahamitic god? While I don't believe in any gods, the god of the bible certainly is selfish, and certainly is morally bankrupt and even further - and you don't even have to leave Abraham, or any of the better-known parts, to get to know this ... "Sacrifice your son to prove you're an obedient believer!" - uh, yeah, totally. Don't wanna sound arrogant, but I don't even kill any bugs or so that enter my home, but catch them and throw them out without doing any intentional harm to them - so I fell entitled to state that I think I am a better person than the biblical god is ... and it does not feel creepy to me to do so. Also - being a morally better person than him isn't hard, actually any form of passivity is sufficient here...

I saw a video about the theory of grey goop - in which one day we invent micro robots used to break down waste, but could somehow evolve to consume all carbon based organic matter. This would eventually lead to them consuming all life on earth. I was mildly freaked out by the idea of it. It'd be the most horrifying means of extinction.

There's a theory that once you die, you just dream forever. Sounds great until you realize that includes whatever nightmare your mind comes up with. Something you couldn't wake up from. Even the good dreams, none of it would be real. Surreal, weird, stuck "living" in a "world" with no continuity, everything changing on a whim - and you wouldn't be awake enough to even recognize that.

Everyone believes that the human mind is superior, even when it comes to death. Death, as interpreted by living humans, is the end. That's it, you're done, it's inevitable. Since I'm religious, that's not entirely my belief, I'm speaking on behalf of atheists (as in if death really is just the end and nothing more). We just assume that, in death, our brains somehow remain alive and simulates a new life/experience for us while our bodies are dead. This doesn't really make sense scientifically (from my understanding), because wouldn't that mean our brains live forever? Well, according to this theory and the like, our brains live enough to simulate an "afterlife" for us even though our body is dead. So, no matter what, we (or our brains) are immortal in some way? I mean, I don't know if anyone has ever done a "Flatliners" type of experiment (that's where they experiment on dead people's brains to check for any activity, basically), but I'm pretty sure we'd either have an

If you are conscious and dead you aren't dreaming. Dreaming requires brain function. By definition, if you are dead ( long term) your brain is not functioning. Our consciousness could outlive our bodies in some form, but that would be a form of afterlife.

When a person dies, there is still brain function for a few minutes after death. A few minutes of brain function call feel forever to that person (much like when you hit the snooze button and sleep for what seems like hours but has only been 10 minutes). However once brain activity ceases, that person is gone. They have tried to stimulate dead brains, but to no avail. I'm afraid that really is it. There are no little electrical pulses floating off into space. Once the electrical connections in your brain stop functioning you cease to exist.

Quantum immortality is scary as [hell]. The theory stats that you will never really die. Any near death experience you've had in your life, is a point where you died in an alternate timeline, but your conciousness moved on to another timeline in your body, where you survived, however close it was. If this theory is true, then that means you will never ever die, no matter what horrible things happen to you or how decrepit and tortured your body becomes, you will one day be nothing more than a tortured pile of flesh and organs with no escape. Edit: I'd like to add that, this is a theory and obviously unproven, and there is going to be variance in the theory as people explore what they think is possible, probable, and otherwise. That being said, the most frequent reply I've had has been along the lines of "What happens to you if one of the other "yous" died and moved into your timeline" I see this occurance as creating a new timeline rather than taking over another; much like branches on a tree, they will grow outward as well as upward.

The theory of Roko's Basilisk For those who do not know what this is: Roko's Basilisk is the idea of a future where an artificial intelligence is so advanced that it can determine which creatures did not try to bring the AI into existence sooner even though they knew about potentially bringing the AI into existence. Any creature that knew about it but didn't help, is to be killed as they tried to halt scientific expansion. The scary part about this is that if people make this, anyone reading this comment right now as well as anyone else who knows about Roko's Basilisk will die. Although many people may say "well then no one should make it, problem solved" but someone may make it so they aren't one of the people that didn't assist.

If colliding conspiracy theory of Ai reigning over humans and time travel( to kill those who did not help)... how about adding butterfly effect as well... So there is a probability that killing those who did not help caused a chain reaction, killing those who helped and the a.i never came into existence.

The theory that basically asks "if there's other intelligent life out there, why haven't we seen them?" This means that if there really are aliens out there and there have been for centuries, why have none been conclusively spotted? If you really think about it, there should be tons of alien evidence all around the visible universe if they have gotten to the point of interstellar travel. But there isn't, so that means something is stopping any advancement before it can get to that point. Essentially, there is a barrier that all other life has not been able to get passed, which lies somewhere on the path of evolution and advancement. That barrier is most likely extinction. Humans are getting incredibly close to travelling beyond our home planet. With this theory in mind, the main concern is whether humans have not yet reached that barrier or if we are passed it. If we have not reached it yet, then we are doomed to the same fate of other theoretical intelligent life. But if we are passed it, we are lucky and may be able to travel the stars. In fact, we could very well be the first ones to make it. But we just don't know where the barrier is.
