SOTT comment = SOTT article-worthy?

I responded to a couple of comments on this SOTT article: http://www.sott.net/articles/show/221806-Database-of-Near-Earth-Objects-Grew-Astronomically-in-2010#reply6685

As I wrote, Some thoughts started happening, and connections started coming to me that have helped me to understand the value of this network more. It was a nice affirmation of my reasons for being here, and I think it has helped me to see a glimpse of my current self and situation in a more objective light - I noticed discrepancies between the concepts I discussed in my comment and the reality of my life, which I want to work on. I plan start a thread about that topic later. FYI, I posted the response partly in response for adventuredude, who may or may not read it, and as a sort of balance to adventuredude's comment, which seemed like an overly physical or 3D way of looking at things, and kind of off-base in any case. My biggest feeling is that I got carried away and went into a monologue, which seemed to help me thinking-wise, but I now wonder whether I should have cut out the latter part to post here in the forum, rather than in that comment.

So, now I have three questions;
In the context of the comments, was my comment an appropriate response? Do I need a mirror here?
Are there any glaring errors in what I wrote? (As far as I can tell, I was fairly consistent with the consensus understanding here)
Do you think I should try to turn it into an article, and do you have any constructive critique?

I'll post the exchange below:

It seems

that "growing astronomically" is an understatement here - thus astronomically speaking, its increasing. Of course speaking in another way of things astronomical or the astronomical viewpoint is that there's a lot going on out there that we dont know about - but the little we do know is that something this way comes but we cant tell the plebs otherwise they'll all be demanding shelters like the politicos and generals and psychos etc....

So we pretend by saying its all under control and we will blow it away with a missile (lord knows we got plenty of those for blowin away Taliban Weddings) -ironically like the Brits are phlegmatised to say that "the Americans have got that covered" lest their Tea & Muffin time be disturbed by things like info or shelters for the riff raff outside from the corridors of benign power.

Actually cant wait for a sizeable rock to land somewhere politically perjurative to liven things up on this matter.

Lol , avatarian.

I don't look much up in the sky anymore, it's not my job anyway. I have a theory , that in the distant past there must have been a war in our solar system. I agree with Laura that there must have been a planet as a military outpost guarding Mars which was probably blown to pieces and then Mars was hit. From what we know from our exploration of the moon , my theory is that the moon too was a military outpost also taken over and planet Earth originally "terraformed" for R+R purposes. We also know that there were more than one tribe on this planet. But still that war is my own personal theory. That doesn't matter. What does matter to me, is that we are experts in taking each other out like immature teenagers, in the process destroying our own home. If there's one WMD on this planet that's us. I wonder though, how come they haven't taken us out yet ? I mean the entire planet is full of resources they must need and there's no Cavalry protecting us. So , are they waiting for WW3 to happen officially and that would mean near zero resistance ? I'm not expecting an answer to that question of course. But if WW3 is between us and a Space tribe for the time being we are on the losing side. And if we create a global government in the form of a pyramid , or any other form it's going to fall very easily on such an occasion. Moving to outer space is not an easy job, so in the mean time we can only hold defensive positions in that respect. Avatarian you are correct we don't have everything covered. I want to see where all those machismo guys are gonna go if we become the "savages".
And my response to adventuredude:

Re: Lol , avatarian.


How about this as a possibility?: extraterrestrials don't have to be physical and may be hyperdimensional, they're already "here" or are capable of interacting with us covertly from their "space", they've been "here" for thousands of years (or so...), they farm us for our pain and suffering which is food for them, and they will perform any covert manipulation they see fit to keep us from realizing how we got into this mess (or that we even ARE in a mess) and how we can escape from it.

What are "they" waiting for? I'm guessing not an opportunity for conquest - we were quite possibly conquered long ago, as evidenced by our current collective "human" weaknesses in virtually every area that could potentially allow us to gain some degree of freedom from such manipulation:
Critical thinking? Knowledge about psychopaths and how they control people and societies (aka Ponerology)? Compassion and empathy? Knowledge about how to truly heal and maintain body, mind, and soul? Love for truth?
All these are things which are weak in our present societies. There are certainly exceptional individuals who possess many or all of these qualities, but they are severely limited in their ability to affect positive changes because of overwhelming opposition and obstacles which they simply can't surmount alone.The only sufficiently powerful approach for humanity is for those who desire to seek, find, and understand the Truth (no matter what it may turn out to be - not "true believers") to seek each other out, form a network to combine and improve their knowledge and experience, develop an objective consensus of knowledge amongst themselves, and take steps that apply, refine, and expand that knowledge within the everyday scope of life. All the while, the individuals in this network must continue seek objectivity and understanding, and must work to use what they learn from the network to improve their everyday lives and the lives of others in objective ways. If enough of these "students of reality" can find each other and network in this manner, maintaining their everyday vigilance and creating a positive feedback loop of objective communication with the network, maybe (just maybe,) their collective efforts will have enough thrust to begin improving the overall knowledge and well-being of societies and hopefully - with enough vigilant work and - the world. But maybe I'm getting ahead of myself.

The situation will probably continue to get darker before it gets brighter, and this is all the more reason for those with the disposition to Work on themselves, with the help and support of an objective-truth-seeking network such as the forum that the SOTT team and the members of the Quantum Future Group have been instrumental in seeding and cultivating.
