Ok so it is found to be an NHI, and then what? Will your world implode? Will you pivot to ghosts and cryptids to rail against in your quest to dismiss things that you don’t like? I think it’s interesting, but it’s not going to change my life, if we meet NHI and they give us free energy then I will care.
No, i think it is healthy to have a questioning mind and not just accept anything somebody says. I don’t believe in ghosts, big foot, ogopogo , or visiting aliens. Do i think life exists elsewhere even though i have no aliens on hand to prove it, yes. I believe it’s likely life exists elsewhere because all the components necessary for life to exists exists here and throughout the universe. If life can evolve here it can evolve somewhere else.
The problem i have with the idea of visiting aliens is the time and distances involved. It just seems incredibly unlikely any machine or life could survive for such long periods in the vastness of space. Does it mean i think it’s impossible, no, just unlikely. So if somebody comes to me with a tale of thousand year old corpses of aliens, i’m going to be skeptical and demand proof.
The UFO world is full of grifters and delusional people and being skeptical of outlandish claims is natural and a sign of a healthy thinking mind.
Ok so why do you care? What if all of that is real, and you are very wrong, then what? So, you are wrong and it’s all real and your life doesn’t change. Why do you think it necessary to worry about this in the first place and try to dismiss or debunk anything? Real or fake, it doesn’t matter, but you are wasting real time in your life on this tilting at paranormal windmills.
