I wish I could buy into something like this.

But I believe that alien theory, alien simulation theory, etc.. are all our modern form of deism. Humans have a great need to find order from a higher power.

I will believe in god(s), aliens, or any other higher power when I am shown irrefutable proof. Until then, we are on our own folks!

I mean I thought this too but this is the one area, particularly under recent events, that I think it’s reasonable to start trying to come up with good non-prosaic explanations. You’ll probably find an increasingly surprising number of people talking and thinking about this in a serious way, because events seem to be pointing to something that isn’t just smoke and mirrors the entire way down. It’s smoke and mirrors to be sure in many ways. But it’s sufficiently uniquely weird that it is looking increasingly likely there is a significant non-prosaic thing going on here.

Why do you believe this? What events and information led you to this conclusion?

UAPDA and recent testimony to Congress, combined with the steady progression of destagmatization, whistleblower protection, etc.
