Getting to the bottom of the UAP/UFO whistleblower story

- alchemist1e9 3y agoHN readers appear to overall be very hostile to NHI (non-human intelligence, the new curious buzzword) once it has gotten this real. My guess is the concept is deeply psychologically disturbing to a significant percentage of the population when faced with it as a reality instead of scifi.
- detrites 3y agoI'm not sure I've even met a person I believe would be deeply disturbed by aliens being confirmed as real. Most find it interesting, exciting, or vaguely potentially alarming - in the same way an unknown rustle in the jungle might be alarming until you know it isn't dangerous. But not "deeply psychologically disturbing". The only people I think could be genuinely deeply disturbed by the prospect of alien life may be deeply religious folks, surely not a representatively high percentage of HN visits. My guess is a text-only message board with zero identity verification contains a higher percent brigading and sockpuppet content in general.
