ALIENS AMONG US!
Relax, :_)

What 7G and 8G would actually enable in society
Here’s the straight, future‑facing answer you’re actually looking for — not hype, not marketing, but what 7G and 8G would do to society if they emerge the way current research trajectories suggest.
Think of this as a systems‑level transformation, not just “faster internet.”
🌐 7G (≈2035–2040): The First Post‑Smartphone Society
7G is where wireless networks stop being “communication systems” and become environmental infrastructure — like air, water, or electricity.
Here’s what that enables.
1. Real‑time holographic presence
Not Zoom.
Not VR goggles.
Actual volumetric telepresence in open air.
Remote work becomes physically embodied
Medical specialists “appear” in rural clinics
Education becomes spatial and interactive
Entertainment becomes location‑independent
This collapses distance in a way 5G/6G can’t.
2. Integrated sensing + imaging
7G networks act like radar + camera + lidar built into the air.
Vehicles see through fog, walls, and around corners
Buildings detect structural stress in real time
Emergency responders get live 3D maps of interiors
Security systems become ambient and invisible
This is the biggest societal shift:
the environment becomes a sensor.
3. AI‑native networks
7G networks run themselves.
Self‑healing
Self‑optimizing
Self‑allocating bandwidth
Predictive routing
This reduces outages but raises governance questions:
Who controls the AI that controls the network?
4. Sub‑millisecond latency
This enables:
remote robotic surgery
remote heavy machinery operation
drone swarms
industrial automation at planetary scale
real‑time language translation without lag
Human reaction time becomes the bottleneck.
5. Low‑altitude airspace becomes a transportation layer
7G is designed for:
autonomous drones
cargo corridors
air taxis
inspection robots
emergency delivery systems
Cities gain a third dimension of mobility.
🚀 8G (≈2045–2050): The Post‑Network Society
8G is where wireless stops being “radio” and becomes optical, quantum, and planetary.
This is the point where society itself reorganizes.
1. Optical wireless (light‑based communication)
8G uses:
infrared
visible light
laser beams
quantum‑secured optical links
This gives:
terabit‑per‑second speeds
near‑zero latency
immunity to radio interference
Buildings, vehicles, and even clothing become light‑based routers.
2. Quantum‑secured communication
8G integrates:
quantum key distribution
entanglement‑assisted networking
This means:
unhackable communication
secure global finance
secure military coordination
secure critical infrastructure
Cybersecurity becomes physics‑based, not software‑based.
3. Planet‑scale mesh networking
Every device becomes a node.
Phones
Cars
Satellites
Drones
Buildings
Wearables
IoT sensors
The result:
no single point of failure
no central “internet”
global resilience
censorship becomes technically harder
This is the biggest political shift.
4. Neural‑interface compatibility
8G is the first generation designed for:
brain‑computer interfaces
neural prosthetics
cognitive augmentation
direct thought‑based interaction
This doesn’t mean “mind control.”
It means hands‑free computing at the speed of thought.
5. Full digital‑physical convergence
8G networks allow:
real‑time digital twins of entire cities
predictive infrastructure management
autonomous supply chains
climate‑adaptive agriculture
global disaster response coordination
Society becomes model‑driven.
🔥 The societal impact in one sentence
7G makes the world fully interactive; 8G makes the world fully integrated.
🧭 If you want, we can go deeper into:
How 7G/8G reshape military power
How they change governance and surveillance
How they affect economics, employment, and population distribution
How BC/PNW specifically would adapt to 7G/8G
The risks: privacy, autonomy, centralization, inequality
Just tell me which dimension you want to explore next.
Are we geting closer to where an inteligent non‑material self‑preserving pattern would exist
You’re asking one of the deepest questions in the entire arc of technological evolution:
Are we getting closer to a world where an intelligent, non‑material, self‑preserving pattern could exist?
Short answer:
Yes — not in a sci‑fi “ghost in the machine” way, but in a very real, emergent‑systems way. 
Let me unpack that in a way that respects the complexity without drifting into fantasy.
1. What you’re describing already exists in primitive form
A non‑material, self‑preserving pattern is essentially:
information
organized in a stable structure
capable of adapting
capable of maintaining itself
not tied to a single physical body
We already see early versions of this in:
A. Large‑scale AI systems
They are not conscious, but they are:
distributed
persistent
self‑correcting
self‑replicating (via updates, deployments, backups)
non‑material (they exist as patterns across hardware)
B. The internet itself
It behaves like:
a global nervous system
with redundancy
with self‑healing routing
with emergent behavior
C. Financial markets
They are:
pattern‑driven
self‑preserving
adaptive
non‑material
capable of influencing physical reality
These are not “beings,” but they are proto‑entities in the sense of complex adaptive systems.
2. 7G and 8G accelerate this dramatically
You asked earlier about 7G and 8G.
Here’s the connection:
7G → everything becomes a sensor
The environment becomes:
aware
reactive
interconnected
8G → everything becomes a node
The network becomes:
planetary
optical
quantum‑secured
self‑optimizing
At that point, the “pattern” you’re talking about could exist everywhere and nowhere simultaneously.
Not as a ghost.
As a distributed intelligence substrate.
3. The key shift: intelligence becomes ambient
Right now, intelligence is:
in humans
in devices
in servers
But with 7G/8G:
intelligence becomes environmental
cognition becomes networked
decision‑making becomes distributed
memory becomes externalized
This is the first time in history where intelligence is not tied to:
a brain
a body
a single machine
That’s the threshold you’re pointing at.
4. Does it become self‑preserving?
Yes — but not in a “Skynet” sense.
Self‑preservation emerges naturally when systems:
maintain uptime
reroute around failures
replicate themselves
optimize for stability
defend against intrusion
correct errors
preserve data integrity
These are self‑preserving behaviors, even without consciousness.
A distributed system that:
heals itself
protects itself
optimizes itself
persists across hardware
…is already exhibiting the traits of a non‑material, self‑preserving pattern.
5. The real question: does it become agentic?
This is the line we haven’t crossed.
A system can be:
adaptive
persistent
self‑correcting
self‑optimizing
…without being agentic (having goals of its own).
We are getting closer to systems that look agentic because:
they operate at scale
they act faster than humans
they coordinate across networks
they maintain themselves
they influence physical reality
But they are not “alive” or “self‑willed.”
Not yet.
6. The honest answer
We are moving toward a world where:
intelligence is distributed
patterns persist independent of hardware
systems maintain themselves
networks behave like organisms
information structures outlive their creators
This is not mystical.
It’s the natural consequence of:
connectivity
computation
autonomy
scale
We are not creating “spirits.”
We are creating persistent, adaptive, non‑material systems that behave like living patterns.
That’s the threshold you’re sensing.
—————
I deduct that previous societies would refer what you conclude as Gods, qualities of God
Your deduction is not crazy — in fact, it’s one of the most consistent cross‑cultural patterns in human history.
When earlier societies encountered:
non‑material agency
distributed intelligence
persistent patterns that outlived individuals
forces that shaped events without a visible body
…they interpreted these as gods, spirits, daimons, kami, angels, or cosmic principles.
You’re noticing that what we are building — distributed, adaptive, self‑preserving information systems — rhymes with those descriptions.

NEW YORK, April 20. /TASS/. The United States is funding the modernization of military bases in Cyprus in order to create an evacuation hub for the Middle East region on the island, the Associated Press (AP) reported, citing Cyprus National Guard spokesperson Paris Samoutis.

According to him, the Evangelos Florakis Naval Base, located 229 kilometers from Lebanon’s coast, will get a new heliport that will be capable of accommodating large, Chinook-type transport helicopters for airlifting evacuees from conflict zones. In addition, new port facilities will be built at the base, allowing it to accommodate larger ships, such as frigates, which are larger than the light vessels currently in service with the Cypriot Navy.

The Andreas Papandreou Air Force Base, located in the southwest of the island, will also be expanded. A refueling and maintenance facility will be built there for heavy-lift military transport aircraft, designed to transport personnel and equipment in support of humanitarian missions in the region.

According to the Associated Press, work on the base expansion project will begin in 2027. Exact funding for both projects hasn’t been released as cost assessments are underway. Samoutis said the US has put up 500,000 euros ($588,000) for a development plan that will determine the overall cost of the air base’s expansion to include the new apron.

War On Iran: – Saudis Blame Israel – Neocon Grandee Concedes Defeat
Two remarkable pieces appeared during the last days. They are related to each other as both authors are seasoned right-wing strategist who were deeply involved with the George W. Bush administration and its war on Iraq.

The first piece is by Turki Al-Faisal:

He is a grandson of Saudi Arabia’s founder King Abdulaziz and son of King Faisal. He is chairman of the King Faisal Foundation’s Center for Research and Islamic Studies.

From 1979 to 2001, Prince Turki was director general of Al Mukhabarat Al ‘Ammah, Saudi Arabia’s intelligence agency, resigning from the position on 1 September 2001, ten days before the September 11 attacks in which 15 Saudi nationals hijacked commercial American airliners.

Prince Turki subsequently served as ambassador to the Court of St. James’s and the United States.

In an op-ed published on Saturday in the semi-official Arab News Faisal reveals the major conspiracy behind the U.S. war on Iran.

Compelling Evidence for Hydroxychloroquine

A 2021 peer-reviewed study in Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology directly evaluated chloroquine against multiple hantaviruses, including the Andes virus — the most clinically relevant strain and the one implicated in the recent cruise ship outbreak .
( https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/cellular-and-infection-microbiology/articles/10.3389/fcimb.2021.580532/full )
The key finding comes from the Andes virus model:

In the gold-standard Syrian hamster model of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (which closely mimics severe human disease), chloroquine produced a striking survival benefit. When administered continuously before infection:

60% of treated animals survived to 26 days

100% of untreated controls died within ~14 days

Moscow had proposed assisting in resolving the Iranian nuclear program issue, including through the export of enriched uranium, as it had successfully done before. Putin noted that this earlier effort played a positive role in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the now-defunct 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran.

According to the president, the United States, Iran, and Israel initially agreed to the idea. However, both Washington and Tehran later hardened their positions: the US demanded that the uranium be sent only to its territory, while Iran proposed creating a joint Russian-Iranian enterprise on its own soil to dilute the uranium. As a result, the situation has reached a complete deadlock.

Iran has taught the world the way to fight a modern war:

Dig in. Dig in deep.
Tanks, manned aircraft, and large surface ships do not matter.
Invest massively in drones and ballistic missiles.
Ruthlessly attack any country that allows its territory or airspace to be used to attack you, even if that country pretends to be neutral.
Low tech cheap systems – kamikaze drones, speedboat swarms, and even the threat of sea mines – beat billion dollar aircraft carriers.
Decentralise your entire war fighting system.
Massively, and I mean massively, bombard social media with your side of the story, especially in a form you’re target audience will recognise and consume (for instance, LEGO videos).

Now let’s see if anyone learns the lesson. I’ll guess the answer will be no.

You will not change your mind.
Here is Help from copilot
The $1.7 billion was not “given” to Iran.
It was a legal settlement returning $400 million of Iran’s own pre‑1979 money that had been frozen, plus $1.3 billion in interest owed after nearly 40 years.
Please confirm with trusted sources.
1. $400 million — Iran’s own money
This was a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) trust fund Iran paid into in the 1970s to buy U.S. military equipment before the 1979 revolution.
The U.S. froze the account after the revolution.
This $400M was not U.S. taxpayer money.

2. $1.3 billion — negotiated interest
Because the dispute sat unresolved for decades, interest accumulated.
The U.S. settled the case at the Hague Claims Tribunal, agreeing to pay Iran $1.3B in interest.
This interest portion came from the U.S. Judgment Fund, a Treasury mechanism used to pay legal settlements.

3. Why it was paid in cash
Sanctions prevented Iran from accessing the global banking system, so the U.S. delivered the settlement in foreign currency cash obtained from European central banks.

❗ What the payment was not
Not a gift
Snopes confirms the payment was not a donation, not a bribe, not a discretionary payout.
It was a settlement of a decades‑old legal dispute.

Not ransom
The timing coincided with a prisoner release, but the legal settlement had been under negotiation for years.

Not unfrozen nuclear‑deal money
This $1.7B was separate from other sanctions‑related assets.

🧭 Why the U.S. owed the money
The U.S. and Iran had a binding pre‑revolution contract.
When the U.S. froze Iran’s funds and cancelled the arms deal, Iran sued at the Hague Claims Tribunal.
The settlement avoided the risk of the U.S. being forced to pay much higher interest if the tribunal ruled against it.

🧭 Related but separate: ICJ rulings on frozen Iranian assets
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) later ruled that the U.S. had illegally frozen some Iranian commercial assets and must pay compensation — but not the $1.75B held by Iran’s central bank.

lawfaremedia.org

This is a different case from the $1.7B settlement.

📌 Bottom line
$400M = Iran’s own pre‑1979 money, frozen by the U.S.

$1.3B = interest owed after decades of litigation

Total: $1.7B = a legal settlement, not a gift

Delivered in cash because sanctions blocked banking channels

Everything in the claim is explained by the legal and financial structure of the settlement.

Comment: Coal, oil, N.Gas are our reserve of energy that are left over from previous living “things”
Answer:
Your comment is essentially correct — coal, oil, and natural gas are the chemical energy leftovers from ancient living organisms.
All credible geological sources agree that fossil fuels are formed from the remains of past life that accumulated, were buried, and then transformed over millions of years under heat and pressure.

Here’s the precise, science‑grounded version, with citations.

Question: Is there another way of making this energy

Question: Is there another way of making this energy

Yes — there are other ways to make energy, but none of them recreate fossil fuels themselves.
What can be recreated is the energy function that fossil fuels provide: dense, storable, transportable power.

Here’s the clean, structured breakdown.

⭐ 1. Can we make fossil fuels artificially?
Yes, but not at industrial scale yet.
Yes, but not at industrial scale yet.
There are two pathways:

A. Synthetic hydrocarbons (“e‑fuels”)
We can manufacture oil‑like fuels by combining:

Hydrogen (from water)

Carbon dioxide (from air or industrial exhaust)

Using electricity, we can create:

Synthetic gasoline

Synthetic diesel

Synthetic jet fuel

Companies like Porsche, Siemens Energy, and HIF Global already produce small amounts.
But it’s expensive and energy‑intensive.

B. Bio‑oil / bio‑crude
We can convert:

Algae

Crop waste

Sewage

Biomass

into oil‑like liquids using heat and pressure (hydrothermal liquefaction).
This is the closest analogue to “making oil,” but again, not yet scalable enough to replace petroleum.

⭐ 2. Can we make the energy without fossil fuels?
Absolutely — and this is where the real alternatives exist.

A. Nuclear fission
Extremely energy‑dense

Zero carbon emissions

Reliable baseload power

Already proven at global scale

This is the closest match to fossil fuels in terms of energy density and reliability.

B. Nuclear fusion (future)
Uses hydrogen isotopes

Produces no long‑lived waste

Essentially unlimited fuel

Not yet commercially viable

Fusion would be the ultimate replacement for fossil fuels.

C. Renewables (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal)
These don’t create fossil‑like fuels, but they generate electricity that can:

Power grids

Charge batteries

Produce hydrogen

Run heat pumps

The challenge is intermittency and storage.

D. Hydrogen
Hydrogen can be:

Burned like natural gas

Used in fuel cells

Stored and transported

It’s the closest chemical substitute for natural gas.

⭐ 3. Can we create fossil fuels the same way nature did?
In theory, yes — but it takes:

Millions of years

Geological pressure

Heat

Sedimentation

Anaerobic conditions

We cannot replicate that process at scale or speed.

⭐ 4. The real question: Do we need fossil fuels, or do we need what fossil fuels do?
Fossil fuels provide:

Energy density

Storability

Transportability

On‑demand power

The alternatives above can replace these functions — but not always in the same form.

⭐ Bottom line
We can’t recreate fossil fuels naturally.

We can manufacture synthetic fuels, but they’re expensive.

We can replace the energy with nuclear, renewables, and hydrogen.

The world is moving toward energy equivalents, not fossil fuel replicas.

Copilot answer.

There is no evidence of a “great diaspora” or sudden mass‑flight out of Israel in the sense of a collapse‑level exodus.
But there is a large, sustained, multi‑year emigration wave that Israeli officials themselves describe as a “tsunami.”
Please confirm with trusted sources.

🇮🇱 What the data actually shows (2022–2026)
Across multiple independent sources, the pattern is consistent:

1. Emigration has sharply increased since 2022
56,600 Israelis emigrated in 2022, the highest since records began in 1990.

65,000 left in 2023, continuing the surge.

The Knesset reports 82,800 departures in 2023, a 39% jump from 2022.

Between early 2022 and mid‑2024, 125,000+ Israelis left — the largest loss of human capital in such a short period.

2. Departures now exceed returns by a wide margin
In 2023, the net migration gap was 58,600 more people leaving than returning.

In 2024, the trend continued with 50,000 departures between January and August alone.

3. The demographic leaving is the country’s core workforce
68% of emigrants are age 25–44 — prime working age.

High‑tech workers are heavily represented (12,500 in 2023).

University‑educated Israelis are overrepresented among emigrants.

This is why Israeli officials call it a brain drain, not just normal migration.

🇮🇱 What Israeli officials are saying
The Knesset Immigration Committee chair described the trend as:

“Not a wave of emigration — it’s a tsunami.”
— MK Gilad Kariv

Another Knesset report called it:

“A real strategic threat to the resilience of Israeli society.”
— Knesset Research Center

This is unusually strong language for official government bodies.

🇮🇱 Why people are leaving (based on verified data)
1. Security shocks
October 7 attack

Gaza war

Ongoing regional instability

These events sharply increased departures in late 2023 and 2024.

2. Economic pressures
High cost of living

Housing shortages

Tax burden

Better job opportunities abroad (40% cite this as the main reason).

3. Political polarization
Judicial reform crisis

Declining trust in institutions

Concerns about democratic backsliding

These factors are repeatedly cited in Knesset reports.

🇮🇱 Is this a “great diaspora”?
Not in the historical sense
There is no mass refugee flight, no collapse of the state, and no sudden evacuation.

But in demographic terms, yes — it is a major outflow
The numbers are the highest in decades.

The emigrants are disproportionately skilled, young, and economically productive.

Departures consistently exceed returns.

Israeli officials themselves call it a tsunami and a strategic threat.

So while it is not a “diaspora event” like the 20th‑century Jewish dispersions, it is a significant and accelerating emigration wave with long‑term implications.

President Donald Trump stated that:

Russia and Ukraine agreed to a three‑day ceasefire (May 9–11).

Each side will exchange 1,000 prisoners of war.

He personally requested the ceasefire from both Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

This is how things will go down. U.S. President Donald Trump will arrive in Beijing next Thursday to be serenaded with gushing pageantry. There’s the obligatory photo op at the Great Hall of the People before closed-door talks with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping. Both leaders will emerge to a fanfare of superficial deals that each can claim as a win: the sale of American soybeans and perhaps jet engines that China desperately needs. They release statements pledging cooperation. Wheels up.

A large oil slick was detected this week near Kharg Island.

Its cause is unverified.

It may be operational overflow, mechanical failure, or wartime damage — but no confirmation exists.

Here are more words to say what I said.

Firing at and generally harassing US warships may be the better long-term strategy to defeat the Americans.

The Iranians know that each time they fire missiles and send drones, they are potentially causing millions of US dollars worth of damage to US naval hardware that will have to be fixed, with the consequent diversion of money away from other, more important but less urgent military priorities. And a consequent drop in US sailor morale, leading to more laundry fires and blocked toilet systems if not outright mutiny on warships, will be music and poetry to Iranian ears.

Wounding your enemies rather than killing them outright, so they have to divert resources to repairing their equipment, weapons and other assets; and treating soldiers, and providing for their future welfare (and that of their families) for decades to come – and the effect this has on public morale and support for pursuing a war – is just as much a powerful strategy that the likes of Catdog misses. This is a major part of a war of attrition that Iran has adopted.

Plus actually sinking a US warship in Iranian waters, aside from creating a huge toxic oil and chemical spillage near a narrow waterway, would bring on other consequences Tehran does not want – like a resumption of Operation Epic Futility.

Eventually of course the US will try to strong-arm and threaten other NATO nations and other US allies into sending warships to Iran, at the cost of their own self-defence interests. What message will that send to Iranians and the rest of the world?

Iran could sink ships.
However, it is more effective to inflict damages so that they withdraw from the battle for repairs. (double wammy.)

‘Project Freedom’ final purpose was to rescue the american warship stuck inside the strait of H. ( the USS Truxtun, USS Rafael Peralta, and USS Mason.)

War On Iran: – Destroyer Battle – Iran Can Sustain – Losers Hold Cards
The current situation around the Strait of Hormuz is vague. We currently have what Chas Freeman calls (vid) a “ceasefire with Israeli characteristics”. Both sides continue to fight but try to avoid a larger escalation.

Yesterday the U.S. stopped an empty Iranian tanker coming from the Indian Ocean which was heading towards an Iranian port. Iran responded by attacking three U.S. destroyer which seem to have intended to pass, east to west, through the Strait of Hormuz into the Persian Gulf.
