      This theory is way too implausible though. Yeah I could see something like that existing but we would’ve caught something like that by now if they don’t follow with our technologies they wouldn’t know how to avoid them if they’re so primal and all that so no, it’s total bullshit. sorry to burst your bubble‘s I wanted it to be real too,.

    • @zaynes5094
      @zaynes5094 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I've written something fiction but based on some real things, mostly my adventures in coastal Oregon when I was there for 3 weeks a few summers ago. That style I got originally came from Truman Capote, who is commonly seen to be the originator of many of the modern nonfiction writing genres we see now.
      However, he also is seen to be the more modern author who started what most called Autobiographical fiction. Now, I mostly wrote YA/Coming-of-age adventures/action/fantasy/Sci-Fi, but now I write those fiction genres all of them combined AND with some real-world connections. So that even if I have dragons and sorcerers and superpowered individuals and high-tech equipment that can destroy the world, I keep it rather dark but never the same.
      I wrote a fantasy book about a vampire who fell for her hunter, yet I completely changed things in the story. To make it unique. Some don't like that drastic of change. It takes time for them to accept that drastic style change within a genre.

    • @DeltaDanner
      @DeltaDanner 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      I haven’t read the book myself but from what I understand this is just a small part of it. It’s hard sci-fi that has realistic vampires but it’s so far in the future that they are working on space stations along side humans the same way an AI might. Like I said, I haven’t read it yet, but I really want to check it out!

      30 days of Night is one of the most brutal and horrifying horror films of all time! A true nightmare of a film! Super underrated as well, seen it multiple times by now and it's just so good. Also, it's based on a graphic novel from what I read and heard.

    Blindsight is a fascinating book. Not only does it dive deep into the first alien contact event, technological advancements, space travel, vampire biology and transhumanism; But it also dives deep into the concept of consciousness and how it relates to biology, and how it may actually be a disadvantage to us humans. So many different ideas that can further be explored and can have their own entire novels -- all packed into one fairly short book.

      The idea was due to how insanely intelligent they were. The revived ones were spliced with human DNA, "bone marrow steeped in the blood of sociopaths and high functioning autists" The basic explanation was the fact that they could hold multiple perspectives compared to a normal human, imagine a necker cube, you can only see the cube in one way at a time depending on how you focus. Ignoring the crucifix glitch essentially vampires would be able to hold and view both perspectives of the cube at the same time which would be absolutely insane as simple of an example. An example of this usefulness was Jukka Sarasti, the vampire in charge of the mission in the book, he coordinates and plans everything the crew does because he basically has a 400+IQ, probably the coolest idea of vampires I've seen to date

    If i remember correctly- it has to be "enough" right angles to overload vampire's sight- so it's not like in the woods, where trees are pretty much 90 degrees in relation to earth- or even savanna- where you have pretty much endless sea of grass- which also is 90 degrees in relation to earth. Humans have not only buildings, they have windows, windows frames, doors etc. many overlapping angles at the same time
    I guess it is similar to what cats and foxes have in some way- they have vertical pupils- which lets them see prey easier even through the grass, which is natural place of their hunting, and they are at the height, where grass does become an obstruction to sight, and they are ambush predators. But before they attack pupils become dilated, so they can see depth better(note how cats often bump stuff with their noses, when they are close to something- they cannot see well up that close)- so even those predators have certain limitations, even if they excel in different areas(such as nigh vision). It is always a trade off- so i guess a vampiric brain that sees really well and has really advanced calculation ability, which allows the predator to outrun and outsmart the prey by easily guessing next move of normal human, or to detect prey from very far away- when having too much information to process- goes into a shut down. Why angles? I don't think i have enough specialized English words to explain it- but imagine that you have sight almost like a computer, where it hones on some pattern- like move, or heat. In vampire case, i think, it was due to humans walking up right(so- right angle again) vampires probably could detect humans from far away, then invent best course of approach etc. but as soon as you have big cities, with many angles, with many humans in one place- i guess that honing computer is just detecting all at once, too much information at the same time- hence seizures
    Or maybe it is simply a defect, that evolution made to actually allow vampires to survive. Evolution is not guided- it is simply what traits are good enough to survive and pass on DNA in given environment. If predator would be too perfect with his hunting skills- he would kill all of his prey in no time, or make it all run away- especially if we are talking humans, which is prey that barely outnumbered vampires in times, when they roamed the Earth naturally, and humans grow to sexual maturity(and hence to time, when they can repopulate) very slowly. Vampires would starve if humans had no refuge. Or vampire, that would be too deadly would attract so much attention, that in the end whole tribes would gang up on him with spears, clubs and bone knives... no matter how fast and smart you are- if enough of them go after you, you are dead. There is something called "good enough" and there is something called "too perfect"
    I don't know- it's me just thinking on the fly, but it is fun to me, i'd love to have an discussion on such subject- also, and this is more important to me- this description of vampire is making me think that vampire hunter, who could truly fuck'em up in whatever settings- prehistoric, medieval, dark fantasy(like Legacy of Kain), or even today, modern world- would have to be one badass human
    And i would love to play love video game, where you take on creatures, that should outclass you in every aspect, yet the underdog that you ar, you still beating the Hell out of them. Imagine gazelle good enough to take fight to a lion!

    Blindsight is a great scifi novel. Vampires existed in the ancient past of humanity but had an aversion to right angles so they could never reach the level of tool use humans did so they eventually went extinct like all the other hominids. In the present of the book, they genetically "resurrect" a vampire to serve as a member of a starship crew for their higher intelligence and analytical ability.
    Another great novel with a speculative hominid species is "The Descent". Not to be confused with the shitty movie made based on it, the only similarity is the protagonists are underground and being hunted by a different species of hominid.

    When Sir Francis Drake sailed for the Caribbean he first had to make a stop off on the West Coast of Africa for supplies as the Spanish and the Portuguese where hostile states. When he arrived in Africa it was his first time visiting and the local king requested him to visit, he asked Drake if he and his men would help him defeat one of his enemies another king who he was about to go to war with. He said that Drake could keep any captured people as slaves with the idea they would be able to sell the slaves when they arrived in the Caribbean for supplies so Drake agreed. When the battle commenced Drake noted 'the kings men where so savage they where eating wounded people alive while the battle was still raging'

Im trying to think of examples but i cant think of any and theres gotta be 1 or 2.
