Quote:We're a galactic freak show.
If there are ET's who actually travel for lifetimes to get here I would be surprised. If there are ET's who have developed Startrek level travel capacity I would also be surprised.
Just as the absence of time travelers is the best evidence for thinking that isn't happening, the same can be said for ET's. Even if they can somehow get here, they won't be bringing anything revelatory which will provide religious levels of meaning and hope. There won't be a UFO apocalypse after which there will be a new world. So make peace with our mundane existence cuz that's all y'all gonna get.
The Ancient Aliens shits drive me nuts. Sure, a space-faring civilization flew who-knows-how-many light years to get here during the Old Kingdom and their sole reason for doing so was to teach primitives how to chip limestone? Give me a fucking break.
