They tried not too...

I can't include everyone, becuase not everyone is involved...

Aren't we all?

Maybe, one day, a meaning will emerge...

Not personally, but I understand it involves a turkey baster... If I happen to be on that rare part of the spectrum of life, as to be a 'human' that is both capable of producing sperm and an egg and a usable womb and lucky enough too utilise our best technology. I have a third choice... 😉

Where can I get my alien-proof seat belt? But my question stands, why are they hiding? The answer is either, because they're gathering data (Is that to defeat us or study us?) or the answer is they're not strong enough to challenge us... My point is they're either, very successful or they aren't there; so there's no need for a seat belt...

Except the OP didn't ask, 'what is required for human reproduction'? Besides I still maintain the possibility of human self-insemination, not the worm method though. 😣

A jury is always out, on the subject of weather...

Can you? How do you know if this scenario, will end badly? All I know is, it has ended badly; every empire end's, much for the same reason. We ignored reason...

Doesn't that depend on your trust in the idea? Don't forget Newton was a...

Indeed, and sometimes they are persuaded by a new idea; if one has a new/more advanced idea, why hide it?

Fair point, I assumed "better" was implied, but my question remains valid, "why are they hiding?"

Why do you assume more advanced is better? "The war of the worlds" springs to mind. Here's one: Why are they hiding?

Is it theoretically possible for a human, hermaphrodite, to self-inseminate?

Because, being wrong is threatening and ugly; and all we want is pretty and predictable... Actual scientist's consider much more than that...

Some species are capable of both, so they're male, female AND both; by my fingers that = 3...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction Which ever way you want to spin it, life/sex is more than a simple binary state.

I don't know for sure, but I think we're on the same page...

Indeed, you can chose to learn or you can chose to be ignorant...

Pride is a path to arrogance, humility is a way to avoid it and growth is what we do when we're growing up. What if my goal is, to sit still and think about stuff and if I'm already kind, why do I need to improve?

Why is what you want, more important?

does it matter?

The cost of weaponry, is understanding...

Cometh the hour, cometh the man... 😉

Sorry I had one too many shandies and thought of 'Young Frankenstein' as a witty response. My point is, if England hadn't declared war on Hitler, the outcome would be the same, it's only the death count that would be different and we simply can't tell which path would lead to the greater number. There's nothing wrong with sabre rattling, just don't draw a line in the sand with it...
