what is it like to often know things before they happen?

 I presently believe that tribes had shamans for this purpose long before farming created more organized religions around farms and towns. And even after farming began as an actual livelihood and most people started to move away from hunter gatherers there was still a need for people who foresaw some aspects of the future or human extinction would have occurred many many times in the last 200,000 years or more ago.

My present beliefs are that there were always humanoids coming and going from earth in spaceships after they genetically engineered present day human beings as sort of servants or slaves 65 million years ago when some humanoids who had lived on Maldek (the asteroid belt planet) and Mars had to come to earth so they didn't all die on mars or in space because when Maldek finally blew up it scattered pieces of itself all over the solar system and some have left the solar system entirely by now 65 million years later.

So, humans like you and I were genetically engineered from humanoid blood and ape blood so we would have a stronger immune system than the humanoids from Mars and Maldek Did when the survivors came here. So, they were a somewhat sickly bunch until they eventually all died or left for planets that could better support their lives than Earth could. Earth is a hard planet to survive on for species from other planets for a variety of reasons. But, with very advanced medical technology presently developed for species to survive on earth more and more visit all the time now. They just appear to be either like us through various types of technology or shape shifting or they appear to be deer, rocks, trees, bigfoot species or whatever they wish to enjoy their time here on earth as a vacation spot.

So, earth is a vacation spot especially for Galactic Citizens who tend to be wealthier than the rest.

I presently imagine more scientifically developed species with transport would likely leave during ice ages which are more difficult generally to survive because it might be most places like trying to survive in Antarctica or something like that then. But, some humans like us (just like Eskimos) (Native Americans in Alaska) would stay alive and survive because that is what they have always done, Adapt.

So, there will likely always be humans who adapt to any situation here on earth because that is what we as humans often do best.

I think it's useful to study mankind in a different context that includes us having been here for at least 65 million years so far in somewhat similar forms as now.

Though I have no way to prove this to you if you are intuitive like I am often you will just know I'm right when you read this.
