    Our current level of this tech is indeed far from real footage reality but still very impressive, there are a few groups working on different angles to properly invent this tech

    I actually like to take that hypothetical much further into the potential of streaming consciousness. But then we’re getting in almost pure sci fi terrain. It “sounds” more reasonable for a bio engineered lifeform then a machine to be capable of housing consciousness.

    I fully understand if you cant take me serious anymore at that line, but when i am entertaining the idea that aliens are already here then i can only picture them as vastly intellectually superior because i feel like humans have only just scratched the initial surface of our potential and are a very long way from reaching another solar system. (Even with a generational ship)

    Absolutely no scientific value beyond this point:

    The result of conciouss streaming would be that a superior species would never need to endanger themselves. It would go like this:

    An automated vessel travels the galaxy discovering interesting planets, like those containing life.

    Some initial samples are collected to make up the environment of the planet and how the local life manages to survive on it.

    Local dna of a dominating species is cloned and made compatible with their own.

    Intellectually bored aliens stream their consciousness to the bio vessel in a way that we can only refer to as “like full dive vr” interacting with alien worlds and life is a common and mentally stimulating hobby. They get to experience the other world realities with a real body with no downsides or mortality.

    Theres some moral dilema with this strain of thoughts like would the bio engineered creature not have a mind of its own.

    As a lover of science and the mysteries of the universe it makes sense to me that any society smart enough to to destroy themselves will at some point evolve towards

    1 - the levels of required science become not only possible but common knowledge as the universe literally runs out of scientific secrets.

    1- quality of life, freedom and luxury reaches the point where space exploration and trying to understand/support other lifeforms becomes the only pastime still yielding meaningfull reward.

    There is absolutely nothing from the recorded uaps that points toward this though, i am overall quite sceptical about the more official US disclose and rather focus on patterns in the bigger body of mostly nonsense stories. Some frequent patterns being the appearance of humanoid “greys” wearing no clothes and having no genitals and technology wise no buttons, handles, screens or interfeces. Take only with your most delicious grains of salt. It is friday after all.

      It’s a cool idea, I’ll give you that. Kinda like avatar. We’ll have to see if any credible evidence for extraterrestrial life turns up. I’m certainly hoping I’ll see it in my lifetime.
