When the ship began to move it was like I was flying and not the ship, the ship became part of me----like what we call foo-fighters or spheres of pure energy
But then again everything is perspective, if you were able to go back and meet Ben Franklin and you handed him a credit card----how could you explain plastic to him? Or even the concept of living in a time where plastic cards are used as money----that you can use over and over again without giving up that mysterious card in exchange for the goods
There is no amount of words that would explain a simple piece of plastic to people a few centuries back much less the rest of the things that make up our lives today

I think you underestimate Ben Franklin.
The card is not what's important, it's that you have signed up with contractual relationship
with a bank (Ben Franklin knew about banks) which says that the bank will pay
the seller, and the buyer will pay the bank, and that everybody better be honest
or they'll get sued.
First, the idea of letters of credit and such for trade were well established.
Such ideas are perfectly understanble to Franklin.
The Cherokee Nation prior to contact with
European settlers was well established but wasn't literate, and likely didn't have a
banking system or anything quite like that. However, within a fairly short time of
contact the Cherokee had invented a written alphabet and constructed literacy for
their language. Some had become well educated in U.S. society within a generation.
In fact, one of the Cherokee eventually ended arguing a case before the U.S. Supreme Court
himself, to try to require the US and states to adhere to the treaties they were breaking. I
think they could figure out a credit card.
message: one random person and random contact? Little can be learned.
With substantial effort and contact, however, progress and understanding can happen quite quickly.
If we don't understand ETs, it's because the ETs are keeping it that way.
Don't overestimate humans---and don't underestimate them either.
But I can tell you want the good stuff, the drink reserved for VIPs. Well I don’t talk about it much because it’s too crazy and ammo for the skeptics but here is a smidge--- where you can go into a room inside the ship and actually meet Ben Franklin----not time travel, not hologram, but the man himself as he is now, he looks exactly the same except he was wearing a light brown robe---we talked about the weather
?
Ben Franklin was,Ben was ,He understood,he also knew ,Ben would not

Is this sarcasm or a simple joke?

Now, if you go to a hunter-gatherer society which doesn't have writing, or money---then
things would be pretty difficult.
But it is possible. And it has been done. The Cherokee Nation prior to contact with
European settlers was well established but wasn't literate, and likely didn't have a
banking system or anything quite like that. However, within a fairly short time of
contact the Cherokee had invented a written alphabet and constructed literacy for

You mean like Swiss cheese?
You know as well as I do that nothing I say will convince you.
Short of you and the others seeing and joy-riding in a spaceship you will not believe.

i know that with physcotronic devices they can probe our minds, and while contemplating they might very well be able to inherently tune into the fluctuation of thought, so would they be inclined to assist in our sparatic efforts to discover new knowledge???

First, I'd like to commend Sleeper for all the time and hard work you have put into this long thread, and managing to keep the skeptics at bay. This has indeed been a fun thread to follow.

Sturod, a very interesting concept indeed. I thought this over, but I think it is quite far out there. Considering most inventions are not the result of luck but determination and hard work it is quite hard to believe that our ever-sophisticated technologies of the 21st century were the results of mind control. You don't believe our actions are pre-determined do you?
