Face Palmer User ID: 46166433 Germany 09/02/2013 08:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Despite protests [books/films/lectures] that claim you want disclosure and you want it now, you will NOT be able to handle it. You will: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 46167261 • Disintegrate mentally. • Riot in the streets. • Be so frightened you will try and rationalise it all away. • Start a war with the aliens to attempt equilibrium. • And much more/worse. Be careful what you wish for, because, the truth is, you really could not handle something of that enormous magnitude. "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

Lucky Charms User ID: 46113732 Ireland 09/02/2013 08:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes and no. I as an individual could handle it, I assure you... Many times I have mulled over the idea of waking up one morning, turning on the TV and seeing motherships hovering over every capital city on Earth. But what's that quote from the first Men in Black movie? Something like... "An individual person is smart, open minded and receptive to new ideas... but people, en mass, in mobs... are dumb fucking animals..." I think that's true, I think there is this vicious cycle of group-think combining the public en masse and the media, the same way we see war hysteria sweep through populations. If disclosure happened you'd see plenty of people freak out as you describe but you'd see many other reactions. Some people would be fearful sure but others would be aggressive, you'd see anti-alien groups forming "ET go home!" and shit. Still others would go to the other extreme and you'd see everything from people begging to be taken away to entire religious cults forming around them. Personally I would be delighted to know we are not alone but I'd be cautious about their intent... moderate as usual. 'Magically Delicious' |

I think that is close to how it would happen,but with far more fear. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 46167261 But it would also prove that we don't have to follow some dogmatic practices which are not grounded in truth and actual reality of how things work in the Universe and afterlife.....After all, most ET contactees have already said their contacts said almost all humans have a distorted and untrue view of reality and the afterlife, and this is why humans on Earth have been called the "laughing stock of the Galaxy"..... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 46087139 Portugal 09/02/2013 08:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why? When white European populations first encountered African people it didn't destroy religion. Modern science hasn't destroyed religion. Change it, perhaps. You are seeing that from the wrong perspective. It certainly destroyed African religions. When two civilizations with different levels of power meet, the weaker one tends to collapse. Think of all the encounters of civilizations that occurred on Earth until now. |

Solar Guardian User ID: 46117069 Malaysia 09/02/2013 08:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If disclosure happens, it would embolden many people to leave behind religions and existing cultural beliefs, especially if the ETs told the world, "You don't have to do that to be enlightened and live in a crime-free environment" or, "That's not what happens after you die; we are all one, and nobody goes to Hell just because he is not a member of some belief system."....... They would totally crush the existing paradigm on Earth and help liberate minds on Earth....Perhaps many places of worship like churches and temples would be abandoned by a significant amount of people once disclosure happens, even more so if the ETs don't have any religion that they follow.... |
