Saying theres no other life in the universe because we haven't seen it is like going to the beach scooping up a thimbull full of sea water and claiming theres no fish in the sea because theres none we can see in that thimbull full.

09:26 This is where the problem is with alien talk: we have footage of uap filmed by military, radar data, highly trusted pilot seeing things flying in way we can't conceive, we have proof of secretly funded program studying this "phenomenon" for decades, we have a full list of reported encounter from the ordinary man to the air force pilot to the commercial pilot, but we still "haven't film anything or don't have proof of it". Proof is there, but people either dismiss it being part of a secret military program or any other thing they prefer to believe in than the actual truth coming from those data that we already have. We could have tomorrow an alien spaceship hovering the Eiffel Tower and people will say "it's CGI" or "it's CIA", although they will being in front of it, seeing it.

that's not proof.

Until we know about how and why life begins, and until we know what limitations (if any) there are on what chemistry and physics can LEAD to life.....then all we have is big numbers which don't mean anything..... The vastness of the universe and numbers of planets doesn't mean anything......it's not like the universe has an obligation to satisfy our human perspective on probabilities....

[@SINQUEFIELD83]

Let's assume an Alien came down and held a press conference at the nearest Cracker Barrel with thousands of people in attendance. The aliens then communicated with humans and shared advice that would bring people together, which would allow us to build a stronger society. Then let's assume half the population believed it wasn't a hoax and could convince 3/4 of the population with evidence that the event was true. In a few thousand years, people will grow skeptical just because humans are contrarions and will become skeptical just because everyone believes a similar ideology. People will disagree simply because they want to disagree with popular opinion. People's doubts will grow over time, and it will eventually end up as another myth or conspiracy. People will assume all the information and evidence were manipulated by man in order to gain control of the people. Eventually, it will come down to "faith" again, and people will call you a fool for having faith in something that can't be proven.

[@SubtleHawk]

The problem with that is that we truly don't know what the odds of life appearing are. If the odds of life happening on a planet is 1% then there should be life everywhere. However if the odds of life happening on a planet is 10^-200 then statistically we would be the only life in the entire universe. We don't know which is closer to the truth, 1% or 10^-200, so we can't make any conclusions about alien life no matter how big the universe is.

“Maybe there are other planets” 😅

[@ghostwalk2446]

Why are they sweating over candles, power outage?

[@jay19701]

They're in the rainforest

[@GiveItYourAll90]

How come they are sitting there in the jungle and no bugs are flying around or they don’t even sweat

Was this filmed in the rain forest? Lex looks like he's gonna pass out from heat stroke. I know the suit and tie is his look, but feel like fan base would give him a pass when it's 90 degrees and 90% humidity

[@macgilli2585]

Wait, didnt the pentagon declassify UAP footage etc?

[@HaxxBlaster]

Doesnt mean its aliens, just means its unidentified

[@tumarfa]

Panspermia. He could be looking at alien cellular life every single day.

[@Admiralty86]

Yes, the "why files" did a great episode on that.

[@TheRealBoomTown]

This is like a podcast in a dungeon… wtf is going on here?!?! This is the most polite and cooperative interrogation ever!

[@BeatlesFan1975]

We have no basis to even have an opinion such as "we may be the only ones" . That is a ridiculous stance, given the distances between the stars.

[@bobinthewest8559]

The most honest answer is: For right now, we simply don’t know. That said… Given the staggering proportions of the universe, I have a hard time imagining that there is no one but us.

You can tell Lex is sweating and getting bit by mosquitoes 🦟 😂

If they are in the jungle with lights on, where are all the bugs and insects ?? 😮

It was faked in the same studio as the moon landing

You both look very healthy out there so it cant be a bad thing. Hope you have a great time.

[@nerminsnowhuseinbasic9340]

His passion about earth made me cry.

[@aaroncrandal]

It would make sense Rosolie would prefer to consider the notion that life is limited to earth. Considering otherwise makes conserving life on earth less important which would detract from his intentions

[@franklymon8555]

Not necessarily...there could be life else where but who's to say it is of the same model earth has? It could make earths life all the more special compared to the other variations.

[@DedicatedSpirit8]

Wearing a suit to the rainforest is the most Russian thing ever

[@jackadoni]

People in the comments too dumb to understand him: it's impossible to pick up a teaspoon of water ANYWHERE in the ocean without life in it: organic material at some level will always be present. We have life here.

I'm with Lex on this one.

I don’t think you trust…. In …. My….

[@nicomarathon748]

Yo. Someone answer this for me PLEASE. What were the villagers in Peru fighting against late 2023? The villagers reported shooting at flying aliens. There were multiple violent encounters on multiple days, we declared that not aliens?

[@xanxus8272]

The guy has been living in character for too long 😆 I wonder how much Lex has been told about NHI

[@IcheatedOnMyXbox81]

I'm glad he notes Carl. Neil DGT...

[@imjusayin]

I agree with Lex, I've always believed that we are symbiotic with an entity we call our consciousness.

[@Ked-kl1zv]

Consider how small the Earths life sustaining atmosphere is, then compare it to the space we see & haven't been able to reach. There has to be other life forms out there.

[@kakalis2323]

Lex is the man, this is exactly what I think as well. And if you don't have your mind open to this possibility at all, you really should start. Because there is SOMETHING there that we don't understand, that we barely even begin to comprehend. We need to stop thinking that we know everything and be more humble. Religions (especially Native American beliefs), Aliens, The Paranormal...there is SOMETHING there. To think that you have it all figured out and that every single person that has experienced such things are all just mistaken is INCREDIBLY ignorant.

[@ConcienciasDespertando]

I don’t understand why people have this idea that aliens will somehow arrive with an entourage and make a worldwide press conference to introduce themselves. The question is not if aliens are real, the real question is what is their relationship to us humans, that is where all the answers lie.

[@generallobster]

I don’t understand the arrogance of people either. These people have existed for a few decades and yet they know that life doesn’t exist outside this earth because there is no evidence of it. Keep looking. Maybe one day you will develop the technology or the ability to perceive what surrounds you.

[@generallobster]

@@mudpuppin3tt3s It's just a difference in where you place your faith. People who know there is no life but life on earth have an equally biased faith, particular to that belief.

[@TheTarrMan]

Lex, you really need to mention the light pollution we have in the city. I've seen the night sky, but I don't think a lot of city dwellers have. . . . Like how you can see every single star, and even the satellites (like almost make out writing on some of them), and how on a clear night, you can still read a newspaper, even if the moon isn't out (assuming your view isn't blocked by vegetation or terrain). YOU CAN SEE ANDROMEDA

[@user-ho5ul1ye7g]

And that’s terrifying

[@joearella1372]

there aren't alternative lifeforms but like he said imagine a planet of butterflies. for example the star shape refers to our human body. the materials/elements found on earth come from space meaning on another planet you may find gigantic butterflies. when it comes to insects we find new species here on earth all the time. possibilities are endless.

[@jrbling25]

I really appreciate Paul's perspective here - it is so tragically clear how misplaced the motivations of first world civilization are. It is totally possible to make critical changes to nearly all domains our human existence in order to protect life and the planet, if it wasn't for the want to accumulate wealth. I'm grateful that I live amongst a growing generation of people who recognize this and will interrupt as much as possible this status quo.
