Why do people assume we'll get their technology? If there is an alien race capable of visiting us, it is them who will set the terms. I guess it's always human nature to overestimate ourselves; the aliens calling the shots creates a strong mental dissonance.
- hackerlight 3y agoThere's three hypotheses I've heard from UFO types. One is that UFOs are sort of like disposable probes, so them crashing isn't evidence of their incompetence. The second is that alien civilizations are giving us this technology as a gift for our advancement, and they otherwise don't interfere but are there to stop nuclear war. The third is that we are already actually integrated into a galactic civilization, we have a secret base on Mars where we collaborate with aliens, etc.
