I’m beginning to believe that even if we get absolute proof of some form of life on another planet that most people will just lulz it. That is kind of profound unto itself. It makes you think that maybe if the government has any evidence of UFOs really coming to earth that maybe, like, just tell us?
No one will care.
And all of this is happening in the context of a different type of First Contact seemingly rushing towards us — AI First Contact. So, it could be that ultimately we get soft First Contact from space just about the same time we get hard First Contact from aliens we, ourselves, have designed and created.
