Do Aliens Exist? This Is Why We Should Take the Question Seriously

As someone who has used 5-MeO-DMT several times, taken copious amount of "magic" mushrooms consisting of psilocybin, baeocystin and psilocin compounds I can only subscribe to the idea that our perception of "aliens" can only be viewed in altered states of consciousness while under the influence of psychedelics. Even in these states it's impossible to describe or comprehend what it is you are visualising and experiencing.

We as humans tend to think of ourselves as these all mighty and knowing species and the truth is if aliens did exist having us comprehend their state of existence would be like us trying to explain to an ant colony that they are ants and they live in a world where people still use the jQuery framework.

I really hate that article authors put "why we should take it seriously".

If the "nasa science" is correct (I doubt it), the universe has billions of stars and planets. Of course more than 1 of those have life just like this one.

Anything else doesn't make any sense whatsoever and must have its roots in human ego (needing to feel special, superior).
