do you think we gained greater intelligence from aliens?

Zoombuck, obviously you are from the planet zoom, for no one has a name like that.  As you know the following aliens have given us humans quite a jump start on greater intelligence and should be held in great regard:\n\nParis Hilton\n\nCher\n\nDennis Rodman\n\nJoan River\n\nHulk Hogan\n\nGeorge Bush\n\nDick Cheney (look before you shoot)\n\nThere are many others but since you migrated here as an illegal alien from the planet Zoom you already know who they are and it is your responsibility to identify them for all the world to know.

No, but the lack of a similar increase in psychological growth in mankind has caused our technological development to outstrip our maturity as a species.  The sudden increase in information and the resulting challenges to everyone's world views due to access to the web and instant information should be sufficient to give us a chance to catch up a bit.  Then the technology will be much easier to handle and use wisely.

We could, but the only ones with the kind of technology needed to accomplish this ARE the aliens.  Asking them for help would kind of defeat the purpose, wouldn't it?

SETI is the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence.\n\nThere may not be enough Terrestrial Intelligence to entice them to us!

Last week I watched a telecast on the History chennel, in which they showed how a plane was disapeared in sky near some island. minutes ago the plane was dissappeared, it was haunted by a ufo(unidentified flying object). In the black box of the flight,it read that the ufo was long tube like structure and was moving at gerat pace which the speed o meter fo plane was also not able to estimate. So from this incident, I think that aliens are far more intelligent than humans,who are belived to be the supreme beings

Its nice to see one of many brave souls questioning the possibility of extra-terrestrial INTELLIGENT life forms. If your interested, Ive just completed a answer segment to a question posed recently and is still open... Question:: 'the latest UFO sighting observed ?'...this is a quite lengthy answer with sources provided for your further investigation if you wish! I hope it stimulates the remaining 90% of our Human Brain that is still 'A sleeping Giant'(only 10% of our brain capacity is used at GENIUS level!)

Having worked in the US intelligence community, I emphatically say yes. Particular attention needs to be given to the expansion of Human Intelligence, and a lesser dependency on national technical means.

In the back of our minds I think we are all concerned by potential alien invasion. We are advancing technology as fast as possible to meet the threat. For more reading on this, go to my question about what George Bush would do if we were invaded.

they could come from other star systems and yes they would have the technology to travel to our world. the universe is estimated to be around 12 billion years old.\n\nhow long have we been on this planet?\nwhat was our technology like 200 years ago?\n...no electricity, cars or planes etc.\nlook how far our technology has advanced in 200 years...\n\ncan you imaging what technology the aliens would have if their world started a million or billion years before ours?

Nope..we are too primitive still...Will we be able survive here long enough to become intelligent?..nope..we are to primitive.

As amusing as find your ranting and as much as I agree with you, I still have to say: educated people still are out there, even though it might seem like they were abducted by aliens... \nStill, I would put the question in a different way: How many people on here have ever cared for education?\nPS: I like you!

Rofl! That was going to be my answer.\n\nI think more than anything else, this is more a question of personal belief. It's like one of those "Is there a God" type questions, since even if somebody does know they answer they are not going to divulge it.\n\nTaking my own advice about the whole "personal belief" thing, I can honestly say that I think the government is more corupt than we could ever fathom, and they have gone from a government of the people to a government out to get people.\n\nI do also believe that sinister extra-terrestrials may play a large role in the corruption of our government... but that's me. The aliens are very much real, you know. And they are already here, and in about four or five years we will be hearing all about them.\n\nIlluminati? For all anybody knows they are real and they do have an influence among government officials.

definitely, I mean so many people are so wrapped up in our lives that although we know there's outer space - we never think about it. It would be gr8 to know there are other things going on than what we can just see. Aliens (cos that's what they'll be even if they have two feet and two pairs of eyes etc) mark a whole new "time" for us - the potential to discover new things there may be things that could help us have a better quality of life that others have discovered that we haven't, to udnerstand more of what is going on around us. We think that knowing my stuff works is not important, but it definitly is... too many people live in ignorance and take things for granted.

This is a question still under hot debate. Some people believe that there is no way that we can be the only intelligent life in the universe while others (as those who believe that aliens were brought to Area 51) believe that we have already been contacted by aliens on various occassions. Still others hold to the belief that we are the only planet to have either life or intelligent life.\n\nPersonally, I hold to the first belief that, with ALL of the planets in the universe, the odds of statistics are drastically against us being the only form of intelligent life. I believe that we have been checked up on from time to time by space-faring races. Basically, I feel that we have to reach a particular milestone - either in our evolution or in our technology - before we are contacted on a grand scale.\n\nDo I believe the stories about Area 51? I wouldn't put it past the government to try to cover something up if they messed up so badly as to have killed our first ambassadors from the stars, however, I also can't imagine that no one else of that race, were it to have happened, wouldn't have come looking for their lost patrol at some point in time.\n\nI don't believe us to be alone in this vast universe but I do believe that, technology-wise, we are still toddlers & must learn & grow more before we will be allowed to enter the same playground as the other intelligent beings of the universe.

I believe the Flynn Effect to be a fallacy. I assume that we have more general knowledge than previous generation because we have more structure than our ancestors. We have many more opportunities and have had further advancements in technology. \nThis is probably why past generations had lower IQ scores than we did.
