You can not handle alien disclosure.
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:

• 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.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Ah yes, the infamous Italian and German sense of humour at work here,but this only goes to show how you would attempt to laugh away the fear making prospect that we are not alone in the universe and all that this could mean to our lives and safety.

Speak for yourself Op. YOU cannot handle alien disclosure.

Many people will. Many people won't. But you have no right to make a post stating that all of us won't handle it.

Re: You can not handle alien disclosure.
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.

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".....

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.

Re: You can not handle alien disclosure.
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....
