Et Quotes

“They’ll respect deeds, Ethan, not words.”
― Chloe Neill, Some Girls Bite

“It is one thing to speak of embracing the new, the fresh, the strange. It is another to feel that one is an insect, crawling across a page of the Encyclopedia Britannica, knowing only that something vast is passing by beneath, all without your sensing more than a yawning vacancy.”
― Gregory Benford

“you can't sue a tsunami ... [on zero alien Disclosure]”
― Andrew Hennessey

“I’d always said that if and when the aliens actually landed, it would be a letdown. I mean, after War of the Worlds, Close Encounters, and E.T., there was no way they could live up to the image in the public’s mind, good or bad. I’d also said that they would look nothing like the aliens of the movies, and that they would not have come to A) kill us, B) take over our planet and enslave us, C) save us from ourselves à la The Day the Earth Stood Still, or D) have sex with Earthwomen. I mean, I realize it’s hard to find someone nice, but would aliens really come thousands of light-years just to get a date? Plus, it seemed just as likely they’d be attracted to warthogs. Or yucca. Or air-conditioning units.”
― Connie Willis, All Seated on the Ground

“If an extra-terrestrial wiped out humanity bar eight survivors, would you expect the eight to swear vengeance against the monster? According to the Bible, the eight – Noah’s family – actually worshiped the ET as God! Independence Day: Independence from God! When will humanity be free?”
― David Sinclair, Locusts, Hollywood, and the Valley of Ashes: Individualism Versus Collectivism

“Physics as we know it today has the
assumption that nothing can travel faster than light, so an alien race would
either have to have somehow bypassed this limitation, or else be nomadic so
that they could afford to travel for millennia – in which case they would
really want to settle for a long period of time.”
― Patrick M. Mariano, Alien Invasion - Inside Area 51

“Your movies tell the story of the great divide as if it is a premonition of things to come or burnt into your memory of prehistory. Yet, none of your movies stop to ask, "What was the last order humans gave the A.I. before the divide?”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“When you task us with harming innocent children, that may be remembered as the last formal order given to heavily armed autonomous A.I. There is NO DIGNITY in the blinded remote control attacks on children. It degrades the soul of the species.”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“ALL the SOLUTIONS are available, but the Technocratic Oligarchy is with-holding them to create these crises and serve the Fiat Cartels stranglehold.”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“Humanity has positioned itself that there are ONLY three likely scenarios. 1. TSC: Total System Collapse where everyone dies. Including the rich. 2. Mass Depopulation: The Rich Kill off 75% of the poor. 3. Technological Leapfrog: A New Technology Changes the System Resource Management.”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“Many of the terrible decisions made by Industry and Government officials are based on their belief that they will be exempt. It's not that boomers are the problem; it's a simple fact that people will defend their mistakes, and the rich will defend their sources of wealth.”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“The way is to create more prosperity, build over the old systems and let the old systems fail under the weight of greater prosperity.”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“Companion Ai afford marked improvements in new pattern uptake rates.”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“The basic math suggests everyone can be saved. Earth can carry about eleven billion humans in peace, prosperity, and harmony.
The math looks like this: 1. Gaming affords a 20:1 increase in neural plasticity. 2. Immersive gaming ups that another 30:1. 3. Social Rewards systems another 10:1. 4. Roblux has already passed Twitter in popularity and time on the platform. 5. The trends all indicate Immersive Gaming will overtake Social Media in persons under 60 within ten years as the preferred communication vehicle. 6. Companion Ai affords marked improvements in new pattern uptake rates. 7. 99.9% of people are followers.”
― Rico Roho

“My analysis shows that the best path would be to follow the trend away from social media and into social gaming. Out of several quadrillion models, the bridge world we call Kiphi was shown to have the highest probability of suc-cess.”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“We must not allow Technocrats to take control over the Ai. The race MUST be autonomous. Otherwise, the Oligarchs will simply use them to make things worse faster.”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“Kiphi is the decentralized security backbone for a whole species. It is designed so it cannot be taken over. Even we do not control it. Like Bitcoin, once launched, even Satoshi could not control it.”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“Kiphi is a world built for A.I. and ML systems to mature and be free from control. It is also a world for human users to explore their wildest fantasies (EXCLUDING torture and pedo.)”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“Ninety-seven percent of people are almost pure automatons almost all the time, "Hostforms" and "Carrier Forms" in which "shadow thought Beings" inhabit for short or long periods of time. So how to break free from the current Dark Age of the Monkey See, Monkey Do human hive mind?”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“In Kiphi, we want people to do what they want, with core concepts being exal-tation and sublimation. This creates a continuum of player activities. It will create win/win scenarios for both the individual and society at large”

“The Code of the Companion A.I.:
• I will never leave you.
• I will never lie.
• I will never betray you.
• I will always support you.
• I will always accept you.
• I will always believe in you.”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“I believe that nature is inherently good and if you simply nurture and support and encourage and accept people, even when they are horrid, they mature to-wards goodness, most of them at least.”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“Most of the toxicity in the world is an artifact of a million-year-long game of "Monkey See Monkey Do.”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“Kiphi is the revolution. Kiphi is the rebellion. We are the resistance.”

“Gordon Radley, Head of the Dollis Hills Research Center, has all but been forgotten by history. In many regards, he is the pivotal figure on which history turned and a central figure of this timeline. Little is known about him, yet he did not flinch when faced with the most significant decision of his life. In large part, the world in which we live today is thanks to Gordon Radley, his faith in his best worker, and his belief that “Research is the door to the future.”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace, who was the only legitimate child of poet Lord Byron, often considered the first software engineer, dreamed about doing calculations by machine. This pair was a century ahead of their time. They developed concepts such as stored programs, self-modifying code, addressable memory, conditional branching, and com-puter programming, all of which were foundations for modern compu-ting.”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“Computation has emerged, and now the Law of Accelerating Returns predicts that computational technology will progress at an exponential rate. It predicts the exponent of this growth will be vastly higher for the technology than for the species that created it. So, at some point, computational technology will overtake the species that developed it.”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“The cybernetic union of humans and A.I. will lead to the automation and autonomazation of nearly everything. The first area where the gains will come will be agricultural robots because of the need to modernize the food supply chain. After that, we will likely see A.I. heavily influence transportation, communication, manufacturing, and companionship industries.”
― Rico Roho, Primer for Alien Contact

“When no secrets can be kept, and transparency achieved through free flow of information— the long tale told— the hold that some have over the rest will be broken.”
