We are all animals living in an alien zoo, where they run social experiments for fun. Like installing the biggest idiot as the leader of the most powerful country in the world. And then they watch us like some reality TV show. It’s really surreal what is happening in the world that it must be true.

    Hmm, so I have thought about this for a while.

    There isn’t a ton of reason to think aliens are here.

    1. The main reason, is because of how things are. Things are rough and chaotic. Our leaders don’t seem to even see 5 years into the future. The world is very exploitative. It’s very arbitrary. It just doesn’t make much sense to think that some powerful mind is in control of it. It doesn’t seem planned. It seems like a bunch of hairless monkeys that live short lives developed technology a few people ago and are stumbling through everything.

    2.Aliens if they have the tech to visit earth. Are very likely to be post scarcity, and to have less competitive ideas. The values of our leaders do not align with the idea of aliens at all at least in all likelihood.

    3.Anyone who isn’t a child or short on intelligence probably realizes that everything on TV and the internet is pretty much a lie, intentional or not. Humans barely know anything about anything as it has always been, and the world is very much controlled by the upper class of wealthy people.

    There is maybe a shred of reason to think they may be here. One is that life on earth has continued for many billions of years, which is amazing when you really think about it. The conditions required for life to perpetuate are quite narrow.

    Another piece of evidence is virtually all of human history for many thousands of years revolves around extremely religious people and magic and all this stuff.

    Another thread of reason is simply the logic of the Fermi paradox, we know there is likely at least hundreds of thousands of intelligent life forms in the galaxy alone, probably more like millions or billions.

    So if they are here, they probably don’t want any contact with anyone or very few people. I don’t think politicians and rich people would be of interest to them. It’s also possible that they are so far beyond us in development that communication or acknowledgement of existence isn’t even something they care to establish. I mean what good does it do an ant to know humans exist? Mostly just makes them long for things they are not going to get from us. Even though we could give ants everything they want, we just don’t feel the desire for whatever reason. Maybe they judge us by our own level of empathy? They treat us like we treat lower animals?

    This still doesn’t line up well with the apparent chaos of reality, however, if they had a secret agenda, it becomes more possible, just also not all that likely. There isn’t anything on the planet that would ever be of value to them except maybe the fruits of human knowledge of culture.
