Hi Everyone, 

I surprised myself and created this video today for public consumption. This follows on some thinking I have been doing on this general subject — essentially human civilization and any alien civilization as essentially exercises in creating structures for ever more complex information management. 

This is not really a UFO lecture — well, it is, in a way. But it’s somewhat anthropological, or rather exopological (not sure if that’s a real word). But you get the idea. The longer I study this subject of ours, the more it brings me into thinking – what is it that characterizes the NHI civilization? Which in turn gets me to thinking about human civilization, which in turn has led me down a path that brings me to a fresh understanding of civilizations in general. Whether they exist here on Earth or anywhere else. 

I don’t think this is anthropomorphizing. I prefer to think of this exercise as seeing human civilization as part of a much larger and perhaps more widespread process. One that has its own necessary logic. 

Anyway, it’s a speculative piece. Your thoughts, please! 

Richard
