At least religious people have an excuse because their belief comes from a place of suffering, no one who thinks these sci-fi fantasy concepts are real is suffering, these beliefs come from a place of extreme comfort, nobody who believes in aliens is from the global south, how many times do liars need to stand in front of governments and say “aliens are real” for there to be some kind of explicit denouncement from atheists for these absolutely non-atheistic beliefs that get a pass because they are sci-fi. PURGE THE NERDS!
You ok, you seem a bit peeved by this topic.
In all honesty, I can see it perhaps as a type of secular apocalyptic thinking where people yern for an apocalypse (meaning an unveiling) that disrupts the banal or miserable status quo they live under. I think there are a variety of flavors of this thinking of atomized subjects at the end of history, including Matt's apt description of the Communist movement as a secular apocalyptic movement in his later Cushvlogs.
When I put it like this, the phenomenon looks no different than apocalyptic thinking amongst the religious: a search for how the current unjust order is organized and a way out of it through an event that suddenly breaks the current trajectory of history. The Christians had the arrival of the Son of Man and the Kingdom of Heaven, the Communists had the Revolutionary agitations of the Second Industrial Revolution - the Armageddon of the Proletariat, and the UFO people have their Disclosure.
It's fascinating to tease out the threads connecting the theme of this thinking. In all, I try to keep an open mind to the idea of intelligent life existing somewhere in this vast universe. It makes me an agnostic, I suppose. Hopefully they have achieved some sort of prosperity under a communistic society. (Yes, the last part is partially cope. It makes me get up every day despite knowing that we're living through a mass extinction event.)
The only right answer to Joe Biden is Skibidi Biden. The biggest issue here is there is no proof, saying Skibidi Biden exists is like saying bidgod exists. Unless joe hasn’t noticed something about how the biden works that’s so biden that we were donald for not noticing it, then there’s no khive besides us.
what
guy sitting on a cartoon desert island (one palm tree in the middle) with no other land or people in sight: "i'm the only guy on earth!"
How?
I can agree with that position as an official posture to take, though I'm more open to speculating about what could possibly be out there.
There being no jiving for Biden besides us is just as true as there being joe everywhere in the Bidenverse because we literally don’t know and it would be best to take the skeptical approach to illegal immigrats.
Yep. Officially there is no knowledge nonhuman intelligence and it will remain that way until overwhelming evidence can be found that necessitates a revision of that statement. And so the search continues.
