Re: Letter from John Titor\'s Mother *DELETED*
One of the things John discussed with me was the way different people in differentt times thought of things.
That the way he thought about things were different than the way we thought about things.
While Kaku thinks an advanced society may think of us as ants ..what if it isnt that way at all?
What if it is like "AI" and "Contact" movies where they went to so much trouble and treated their subjects with such compassion and concern and valued them highly amongst themselves. To even stoop down to help one individual. Where the alien in "Contact" went as far as to morph into a familiar being to "Jodie Foster" just so she would feel more comfortable around it.
That an alien in AI created a whole environment just because they wanted "the child robot" to be happy.
I don't think the aliens in these movies treated the individuals like ants.
What about beings like angels surely THEY do not treat us as ants. But how advanced would you consider them?
Maybe they will have to remind us just how important we are to the universe because perhaps
we have forgotten our true worth.
Maybe thats what will truly shock us.
That time travel could be used to help people than be used as a weopon of war.
Which isn't that what this society would use it for today?
That a time traveler thoughts may not really be beyond what you can comprehend after all.
We may be considered uncaring and cruel and brutal but then again we may have viewed a caveman as such ourselves.
Maybe their thoughts will simply wonder why we don't care about each other more? Why do we fight and make war amongst ourselves? etc.
