Tell me Direne why is FL studying Echopraxia? I wonder would being able to "mirror" actions into a being via radio waves be a lot like making meat puppets...And how does Echopraxia fit in with Dream recollection?
You already have that weapon. It is called "mass media".
The involuntary repetition or imitation of another person's actions is a neurological disorder known as echopraxia. Sonochemistry is concerned with understanding the effect of ultrasound in forming acoustic cavitation in liquids, resulting in the initiation or enhancement of the chemical activity in the solution. Benzodiazepines enhance the effect of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at the GABAA receptor, resulting in sedative, hypnotic (sleep-inducing), anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant properties.
If you can formulate variants of benzodiazepines which can be activated via radio waves you'll arrive at this:
Sonodynamic Weapons - Sonochemically induced altered states of consciousness
There, your weapon. The military-industrial paradigm did long ago change to include pharma companies.
It is about who we all are and what's life about. It is about the will to meet. It is about the compelling wish to contact, and the primaveal fear of the unknown. And it is all, essentially, about compassion.
It is a two-way path. Always was.
Playing with people's minds and consciousness, and possibly without their consent, seems to me to be something many of us here are quite concerned about, really.
an "anti-language" to some of us, along with some of the view s expressed on the site (FL), it seems that you are as a group moving into manipulative territory, exploring ways of control of your own brethren.
Indeed, putting one's soul "on ice," as you describe in a reply to me, suggests openly that some are delving into territory, here, just with each other, not considering alien life and communicating with and understanding just what and who that may be, that is an endangerment to one's soul….and perhaps, using the rest of us as study subjects, with or without consent, in preparation for the consideration and communication with alien life.
I still find the FL site and the development of an anti language using symbols somewhat threatening
Again, language is a key to mind. When that mind is totally different to yours you will need a new vocabulary to describe events, and to communicate events, processes, phenomena. You will need new metaphors for representing them, new contextual backgrounds, new arguments to explain those processes and phenomena. You will need what it is called "a theory of contact", which includes a new language or, if you prefer, a new key to reach the new minds you've found.
Yes, that is correct. Using your own words I would even say more: there are some who wish you to be the deer in the hunting headlights. There are predators and preys, above and below. And even inside you. That's part of Nature, the animal part of it. And this is something you must have in mind if you plan to make contact with another species: that they, too, are animals. The Universe is probably more difficult to understand than to live with, and worlds are not a nice place for everyone, be it alien worlds or Sol-3.

Let me tell you this, the above description is not complete without this precious knowledge: each and all systems have a property that overcome the possibility for agents not having free will or having a disrupted free will; that property is called chaos. No matter how powerful an oppressing group is, no matter how highly advanced the oppressor is, no matter how tight the control is, each and all systems will eventually show a moment of chaos, a quantum fluctuation which turns the system upside down. Headlights can be switched off, the rifle can get jammed, and sometimes the hunter is the one who must run for his life. Both the hunter and the deer have free will, but their free will won't stop chaos, that minute tiny noise in the system that sends it off of equilibrium, that little perturbation that turns a perfect hit into a near miss.
The hunter will think it was just bad luck. The deer will think it was good luck. It was just that: noise, chaos. Something no one can control ever. Determinism is an illusion. Language was not made to deceive, but to explain. Any truly advanced technology is that that does not uncouple the past from the present, and certainly, one that does not turn actual existence into an alienated thing. What matters is the process, not the result. What counts is the individual, not efficiency. When thinking is detached from thinking, you are lost, and this is basically what all those new weapons are designed to do. Therefore, you need to keep thinking. Always.
You cannot feel frightened by us, tetra50, ours is just a web site. However, for us, the worst harm is the one that was not intended and we are worried about you feeling threatened. Like when you see strange lights in the sky. tetra50, to contact is a process, a slow one. Imagine those aliens coming to your world as you did to Samoa or America. That would be frightening indeed. Any contact based on the grounds of hegemony, technological superiority, or pure intrusion is always frightening. It would be like if you were peacefully in a forest, and all of a sudden the headlights are switched on!
Finally, language is a key to the mind. We all tend to forget this these days. That's why we called our site Forgotten Languages, which is tantamount to call it Forgotten Minds.
You are a deer, but we are not the hunters.
I hope my answer be of your satisfaction.
Yes, that is correct. Using your own words I would even say more: there are some who wish you to be the deer in the hunting headlights. There are predators and preys, above and below. And even inside you.
THE GIST
Embryos for humans and other animals often look alike at certain developmental stages because they share ancient genes.
These ancient genes are expressed during a middle "phylotypic period" of embryonic development for all species.
Developing human, fish and other embryos therefore at times share features, such as tails and gill-like structures.
Human embryos resemble those of many other species because all animals carry very ancient genes. These genes date back to the origin of cells, which are expressed during a middle phase of embryonic development, according to two separate papers published in this week's Nature.
The findings help to explain why our embryos have a tail when they are a few weeks old and why human embryos retain other characteristics, such as fur-like hair and fish embryo similarities, seen in the developmental stages of other species.
"On average, the similarities will be even stronger for more closely related species," Diethard Tautz told Discovery News.
"However, it is indeed true that even fish and human embryos go through a phase that looks very comparable, while they are rather different before and after this," added Tautz, who co-authored one of the papers and serves as managing director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology.
He and colleague Tomislav Domazet-Loso tackled the "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" puzzle. This expression means that a more advanced organism, like humans, will resemble less advanced species during it's development stages.
Was the FL post a prediction of the Airbus crash?

It is my conclusion that there are more of those beacons, and that they are located according to a specific pattern, so I guess someone is just going beacon after beacon till they recover all of them. You do not plant beacons on the planets nearby, as you can easily map them using telescopes and probes. However, how would you signal specific areas on a planet that is some 5 light years away from your home planet? You need to use beacons to help those coming after you to navigate that planet.

Are the PSVs an inevitable outcome of the Giselian's just being Giselian's? Does being Giselian predict PSVs?
Am I correct in assuming that we have reverse-engineered the things?
...and let's pretend they do work until we find a way to fight these liquid visitors , whomever they are.
