Before I begin, let me set the stage a little bit. I, in general, don’t believe UFOs are real and generally believe the conventional wisdom that it’s impossible for Little Green Men to cross the vastness of space to actually visit earth.
And, yet.
A number of very interesting developments on the whole ET front give me pause for thought. Everything from the Chinese maybe hearing signals from another civilization to the James Web Space Telescope going on line soon are enough to make you think –are we about to have a “soft” First Contact and what would be the implications?
As I have said before — if we have “soft” First Contact, it’s going all be a lulz. No one is going to care. Yes, people like me might flip out at the implications, but in a world where America’s birthright of democracy is being stolen in broad daylight….I think it’s safe to say the average person isn’t going to care.
It would have to be something sexxy like Little Green Men landing on the front lawn of the White House in a very Day The Earth Stood Still type of situation for the average person to care. So, I think we could all know for a fact that life — including advanced life — is all over the universe and the average person just won’t care.
