09 - A Universal Standard?

After years of experience with different kinds of aliens, we can begin to make distinctions about alien perspectives on psychology.

What I'm about to say may make some readers uncomfortable, but I'll say it anyway. The first and foremost distinction of the sort has to do with the difference between sexually-reproducing populations (sexuals) and those who reproduce by cloning or other non-sexual means (non-sexuals). Every single alien population with whom I’ve interacted has placed strong, unmistakable emphasis on the difference between sexuals and non-sexuals.

The difference between sexual Verdants (subdued yet collectively aggressive, territorial, and prone to black-outs of larger perspective) vs. typically non-sexual "gray" aliens is stark. Grays are more dispassionate and consistent in their analysis, more capable of admitting error. They’re humbler and less prone to the stimulus-seeking dimensions of personality disorder.

The same is true of other non-sexuals who have interacted with humans.

Among alien populations, the sexual vs. non-sexual distinction is considered so important, so intrinsic to sorting out complex issues, that a basic non-sexual perspective appears to be the universal standard. Why is that? Because a non-sexual lifestyle is more internally consistent, more cool-headed and ecological.

Non-sexual reasoning is less slippery, less prone to pleasure-seeking pitfalls and specious rationalizations, less distorted by the need to impress others. Non-sexuals can sustain their thinking more prolongedly and can develop finer, more detailed kinds of reasoning.

Nonsexuals rarely pose a population risk to the larger universal ecology - for one simple reason. They can plan and control their numbers in proportion to their needs and resources. Meanwhile, what normally determines the amount of sexual procreation? Impulses, a sense of loneliness, biological urges and, in some cases, a lingering fear of external threats, a need for protection.

Sometimes, of course, there's a prescient kind of love for that future little cutie.

Love, to a good alien, is a larger, more general kind of social inter-relationship, a humble search for meaning. In its most intelligent, universal form it’s an abiding openness, a truly inspired desire to both feel for and help any and all other beings in ways that resonate with all other minds, within safe limits. It deliberately reaches into the most painful depths of suffering to collectively lift the affected toward a more advanced yet transparent kind of understanding.

Such aliens accept even “sex-positive” humans who can see through themselves and behave responsibly.

The sexual vs. nonsexual theme is recurrent, although subdued, in human-alien interactions and has been mentioned in a variety of contexts. Sometimes it frames alien criticism of human violence and excess, i.e. our higher intellect vs. animal impulses.

Sometimes it frames a discussion of sexual escapism and what, to aliens, are nearly delusional notions of economic refuge. Sometimes sexual vs. nonsexual themes permeate discussions about evolution and advanced social dynamics.

Hyper-advanced aliens say that entire planets have suffered ecological death while the sexually predatory elites responsible for such disasters continued their escapades right up until the death of all surface life forms. In some cases, they competed for sexual opportunity even as they retreated to underground refuge!

Some aliens have posed the following question:

If, in the future, or after you died, you could choose to either merge with a more advanced kind of universal consciousness or continue as a human sexual, could you shun the sexual dimension in order to exist as a higher life-form?

At other times, the sexual-nonsexual theme has been used to underscore the aggressive intervention, here, by Verdants, who reportedly dominate the lesser, dependent gray alien population.

Since the story of the Verdant population provides a useful example of sexual vs. non-sexual behavior, we’ll discuss it briefly before returning to our main topic.
