HFY Stories: The humans do not have a Hive Mind - The Complete Story (10 Chapters)

[@ervvmuller6020]

Wow, that was one of the best stories I've ever heard. No fighting, no gun fired, no interstellar evil thing to kill everyone, just marveling at the wonders of intelligence communication, art, and creation. The best part was definitely the lullaby. Thank you so much for the precious experience of being entertained and learning through your fictional story.

[@roninrugby9480]

Absolutely amazing story!

[@ModestestRUST]

How do you make it past “faster than light engines” lol

[@Azarath304]

I respectfully disagree. I would rather they sent captain Kirk. He would have defeated helf the population and impregnated the rest.

[@omc2629]

I have to agree it was a great story.

[@BrendenMulhern]

No while interesting I agree, but not realistic unfortunately. As far as first contact goes we can only hope that something like this happens rather than what I expect to happen based on the facts of the previous interaction between us and the alien “contacts” we’ve had over the last 74+ years. All indications point to an intelligent life form that is extremely interested heavily in our military equipment and technology. So when you have another civilization that is weaker than yours. You would start spying on all the enemies capabilities knowing their strengths and weaknesses before you decide weather to conquer/destroy or make contact to guide their species or to ignore them. We can only hope that if they make contact with us they help us or ignore us. But I only hope they don’t find us to be something to destroy

[@bonjower]

Classic sci-fi. Clean premise taken to logical and scientifically interesting conclusions. Humanistic. Impossible scenarios used to broaden our horizons, to make us think, to make us feel. The science and fiction facilitate each other, rather than impede or ignore. Abides by "show, don't tell": self-described "powerful" story is actually powerful, "interesting" alien is actually interesting (and actually alien!), etc. Better than _Arrival._ In other words, this is REAL sci-fi: Not only substance over flash, but substance that is sufficiently advanced that it _begets_ flash.

[@SteveMccarthyAus]

Amazing story Hope there is more parts to continue the story

[@Meinejambalaya]

Are there any new chapters?

[@aaronjones4529]

That was superb... Not the typical gung-ho "yeah we're violent AF, aren't we great?!" ... And I could imagine the "Oh shit" moment when Nyar requested the Earth's sci-fi compendium on first contact; the Initari clearly have no concept of lying, let alone for the purpose of entertainment, and they take things exceptionally literally.

[@raggarbergman]

My favorite stories are not the war stories but more the stories like the one where a highschool ckass ended up as exchange students at a galactic school were they scared the crap out of everyone for being dath worlders. Or that young woman on a space station that had banned coffee. ^^

[@matthewschwartz8730]

Very pleasantly surprised with this story. It is very unique compared to other stories I have heard.

[@risingwind8943]

Definitely the best of Emotional HFY I have ever heard. This human-meets-alien scenario can be done with humor (Paul), seriousness (Star Trek), violence (Alien, Independence Day), or deep emotion. This one falls into deep emotion. It is spectacularly well done. This is one of the very few HFY works that has me hoping for an entire series by the same author. I can't stress enough how much this story resonates with me.

[@IOSARBX]

SciFi Stories, amazing video keep it up dude

[@justaguy4222]

This is just amazing thank you for putting this out there!

[@DatGitGhaz]

This was an absolutely fascinating story. I enjoyed it immensely

[@areyou3229]

Wow! What a wonderful and thought provoking storytelling. It would be lovely to see this story made into a movie or series. Thank you.

[@Asahiart]

very interesting and compelling mental exercise !! Great story

[@Exar0n]

Very captivating story, I couldn't get enough. Excelent characters and believable frustration from both sides. I can just imagine it as a movie like Spaceman with Adam Sandler, I would watch it.

[@andresaguilar8101]

Amazing work. One of the things i like is that the aliens are not similar to us, or less. They are different. With advantages and also cons. They have fears and also are able to surpass them. I still think she should have mentioned war because the concept would be relevant for a hive mind that probably didint fight with each other and does not kill as easily to us.

[@atlasjunky7677]

Even after the hive mind comment Sam couldn't realize they use a hive mind unlike humans and she's the diplomat

[@SetitesTechAdventures]

Yea the ambassador is needlessly stupid to keep the story going. Not understanding that they had some sort of psychic or telekinetic power when they said "shape" shows an ambassador who is either an idiot or a dumb politician who has never heard any sci-fi.

[@rockapedra1130]

Very good story! A very useful and pleasurable untruth for enjoyment and future speculation!

[@michaelvonblucherafaltona1994]

I actually liked this story, enough to write a comment, rather than simply click a like. Of course, a good story needs a sequel.

[@terryhayward7905]

Amazing story, thank you. The whole story was so realistic, I can imagine a first contact being exactly this way.

[@zacharygold9483]

Fascinating story of first contact with a truly alien species.

[@yuliang5900]

This is the best, i ever heard. Truth be told i find those humans are desthworlder and stronger than all tiring... But this! This is gold

[@kawangerald4271]

Amazing!!! The best one I’ve heard so far!!

[@teigynoake4633]

I have become addicted to hfy stories

[@gearond]

This is exemplary work. This should be this the basis of a book. If somebody knows that it is such, I would love to get a link to getting that book. I rarely rarely give anything above a b+ to any kind of work by anybody else. This one gets an A minus which means it's just short of being a classic. Kudos to the author and I look forward to finding more examples from this author. PS I haver NEVER given an A or A- to any work online b4

[@ralphgoodman8181]

This is a fresh tale, compared to most of kicking tails of aliens. I really appreciate it. Thanks

[@vfrances71]

Loved this story thank you for sharing it.

[@josebarahonalopez907]

Incredibly story. ❤ I loved it

[@danielleriley2796]

Wow. That was magnificent.

[@royscott9162]

They Answered The Call is one of my favorites. This one is on that level!

[@seanfavouritesongswithkayb9868]

Excellent story, really enjoyed it 🙂👍

[@ingonagel7169]

This is what scifi is all about. Thanks!

[@alfredotto7525]

Loved your story. Beautifully written thank you.

[@jojo-._.]

this is awesome. Although I want to say that the best thing describing that interaction would be trying to controll an IR TV via bluetooth lol Edit: Day 2 of watching; 3:02:54 I dont know a better way of markiing where I stopped but I somehow have to get anything done today

[@JamesMcGaugh]

Good job. This one is really good.

[@hein8162]

I think this is my favorite HFY story. :)

[@ivanelgharbi5861]

Damn, this is a really really good story.

[@buuam7555]

13:02 "how much RAM do these humans have?" Is basically what im getting from this 😂 27:44 both sides being worried about messing up the first meeting with there new space friends is kinda cute 😂 40:10 oh you sweet summer space child 😂 lots more

[@IsJakeAwake]

Keep it up 🔥

[@ravenchelsvokia]

Imagine someone asking you the names of every human being currently living. Bro, I need to interact with someone like 50 or more times before I remember their name properly.

[@SketchingHands]

Keep it up!

[@Maxpl85]

I hope it will be continued

[@siassmal6502]

Great story

[@jennatransgirl]

Great story, but not just use a tablet to answer all those questions. You want fictional story read snow white, she want to see how something is build, show the production process of a car, how babies are born show a child education over it.

[@Zonatapio]

If you have to ask that question then youre too dense to understand the point of the story and why it was so good. But to answer your question... Because then it would be a stupid story. The entire point is the delicate dynamics of two utterly different beings trying to understand each other through language, stories, mannerisms, emotions, etc. "Hi I'm Sam and here's an ipad with all information on it" "Got it, see you later"

[@jennatransgirl]

@@Zonatapio ​@Zonatapio i understand the point but the same dynamic could be reach with a little more realistic situation. Read sci-fi stories that did just that. If i have an ipad where i can show the picture and how it's done. I still have to explain why we paint and how it effects us emotional. Same for reading a children story. Or the difference between and woman and man. You are not going to carry the golden plate around of Voyager probe. I you meet eachother in space. The setting is wrong for this situation, it would fit better how this story is told if she for example discovered on an other planet or a drift after an accident in shipwreck. Not send out as a diplomat with a pot and painting

[@javi_fc]

@@jennatransgirl they literally explained why she had no sophisticated equipment, so you either didn't understand or ignored it. they have a no emission policy for any machines incase the signal affects the species in some negative way. there's also a protocol for how much information they can give a new species. these things were explained. i'm confused as to why this is even a question you're asking.

[@jennatransgirl]

@javi_fc yes and i explained that it is a stupid thing in the story because it makes it totally unrealistic for a sci-fi story. That's my opinion you don't have to agree with it. Its a fantasy Story not some scientific scripture. People can have different views over it.

[@javi_fc]

@@jennatransgirl no that's not how this works. they literally explained why that's the case. you just don't like it. that's fine. or at least you haven't given a good reason. but to say it makes no sense is ridiculous. why is it unrealistic to think radio emissions could be harmful to other species especially ones who's biology we don't know? better to be safe. and then about the information to be given on first contact. it's just common sense to not give all the information about your species on a first meeting. just look at how the alien reacted to the population count. these things take time and there is a proper protocol. don't just say "it's unrealistic" and "people have different views" explain your reasoning or people will question it. we can disagree all day but all i care about is why you think the way you do. i don't want you to agree with me. i just want a good reason for why you think that.

[@ryanmuhm7584]

I am confused. What is this "fiction" you speak of? Sounds fascinating. Super cool story

[@VaultDice]

moar! the return story!!

[@rossjarvis2260]

Most enjoyable

[@korpellious7622]

Ma dude what?! Some random transmitter that instantly broadcast to the whole galaxy and told the true story? He couldn't have done that before his race went extinct?

[@agony-4-hope725]

Actually, yes, all Humans ARE a 3 brain species. Yes, I am serious.(Left, Right, Bottom) The 3rd is what keeps stuff running for basic biological life, the Left does talk and logic, the Right does memory and focus. Though not well understood, it is a fact that both, Left(the one that talks) and Right(the silent one), are actually their own person. Yes, living inside your head since birth was a silent person, that remembers stuff, gets jokes, and can somehow always find Waldo for you both. This means 2 things- Secrets are fictional & Every crime has a silent witness that had no choice in what happened.

[@NickTheMagnificent]

👍🏻 very good

[@kingstrojek9937]

as I listen to this a 2-3 time slot of confusion that humans compiled technology starting off simple and learning what they made to add more to it with each discovery and science breakthrough they would improve upon the things they make

[@johnhatheway9918]

This is unbelievable. It there ever comes a time when we meet another lifeform, I want you to talk to them.

[@missehawkins2010]

Encore! Encore!

[@saramarrspellmaker9592]

SO, did she give the clock as a souvenir?

[@ATBatmanMALS31]

To the Author: you let me know if you need investment

[@missehawkins2010]

I mean, sequel! Sequel!

[@passthrough5148]

More more more

[@donnowell8315]

I can't stand this channel. But I love it so much. Just don't make us wait so long for 30 minutes of bliss.

[@SquishysLego]

This is a great and nuanced story. However, the aspect about human reproduction and 2 sexes and how surprised the alien was at that is a bit of a plot hole - this alien visited countless planets, surely there would have been creatures which reproduce in a similar manner on those planets and should at least have a classification about that given their age. This alien appears more from a different dimension, like species 8472 from star trek due to how alien some basic concepts were to it.

[@confedaratewolf]

the AI occasionally mispronounces they words. it would be better if you had a human to read it. other than that its a good story

[@commando0110]

i want the 2 species to fight a war togetger lol on the same side i mean

[@billwhipple9039]

Im sorry. Ive got to drop your content. I really like the stories you do, but yourube is making it nearly impossible to enjoy ai spoken stories. They put so many commercials into any hfy video that uses ai that im pnly watching hfy videos spoken by human narrators. They dont seem to have any, or very few commerccials. For comparison, im almost 45 minutes into this one and ive had 8 to ten ads already. In a similar length video from a human narrator i think i had 2, maybe 3. On top of that the ads that play on videos woth ai narrators are sometimes 10 minutes or longer. Its absurd KZbin is screwing you and i cant enjoy stories that are broken up so frequently by ads. Im very sorry. I would watch most of your content but youtube seems to actively make it hard to consume. I dont know if this is happening to all of the viewers but i just cant put up it

[@morpheoss]

bra really? you made an ad every 5 min.... its crap like this that makes me get ad blockers

[@scifistories1977]

I'm sorry to hear that. I don't touch any ad settings. I only used the default youtube settings when uploading. It does seem that some people get hit with more ads than others, but I've not set it to be like that.

[@morpheoss]

@@scifistories1977 well ok. its just annoying cus i like i put on a podcast of some sort when i drive and its hard to skip ad's. it was a pain to get one every 5 min :(

[@budnolan1033]

To many comercials

[@blueberry_cola5790]

Lol I have KZbin premium so I have no ads hahahaha . You're so poor lmao .
