A theoretical experiment.

Discussion

Earlier, I became familiar with the files of a researcher who discussed the different types of extraterrestrial consciousness. As I understand it, there are many types of consciousness, but he mostly talked about three: humanoid, reptilian, and insectoid.

Next, I'll try to compare the information about these types of consciousness with my own opinion, and I'll ask you to either develop this idea or add to my thoughts.

  1. You and I are considered representatives of the humanoid type of consciousness. Typically, these are creatures with two arms, two legs, and a head—a body shape similar to our own.

I find it curious that people considered mentally healthy and physically developed have an "abstract-logical component of thinking."

That is, if you ask someone about the meaning of a proverb, saying, or metaphor, we are capable of giving an answer that doesn't correlate with the literal meaning of the original phrase.

I believe this is one of the traits that can characterize the humanoid type of consciousness—we live in reality, but have our heads in the clouds, as they say in Russia.

For example, we communicate with friends, but during the conversation, we're thinking about something completely different. Or they tell us one thing, but we understand it completely differently. Or we fall asleep in bed, but our thoughts are lost in a fantasy or dream.

It's as if, to summarize, our consciousness is a bridge between a literal phrase and its figurative meaning. Or a bridge between earth and sky, reality and fantasy.

  1. Representatives of the "reptilian" consciousness are not exactly reptiles. It would be more accurate to say that this consciousness is that of amphibians, perhaps amphibians—reptiles, dolphins, or perhaps someone else?

Their distinctive feature is a strong connection with their environment, be it terrestrial, aquatic, aerial, or perhaps even subterranean.

They are deeply immersed in the physics of existence, since a precise understanding of the characteristics of various environments was necessary, until a certain stage of evolutionary development, for their survival.

For example, while humans float in their abstract logical clouds, dolphins enjoy sensations. It's as if they're interested not in thinking about what's happening, but in experiencing what's happening.

Joke: people think dolphins are stupid because they didn't create the iPhone or write the Windows operating system. Dolphins look at people and think, "How stupid people are! They've created so many contradictory relationships, rules, and systems that it's impossible to live like this. They've created a world where you sit in an office all day, five days a week, earning a fictitious, supposedly valuable salary, and waiting for retirement, when your back, joints, and nerves will burn out much faster."

By understanding the physics of existence, by perceiving their bodies and environments far more deeply and clearly than we do, some of them have developed interesting characteristics: some can change their appearance to match their surroundings thanks to their extreme awareness of their bodies and environments, like a chameleon, while others are keenly and intently aware of what's going on around them.

So reptiles aren't "bad." A lot depends on how you feel about them. Here's the key: if you're afraid, it means you produce cortisol and adrenaline and switch to the sympathetic nervous system for defense and attack. They read this and, since they experience it intensely, react similarly. It's as if the distance between "done" and "means not" isn't great, and it might not be that great. It's with a humanoid type of consciousness that one can do something bad with good intentions, as if action and meaning are at odds.
