It is a common hubris of modernity to assume that our forbears lacked intelligence. Nothing could be further from the truth; precious few of us could trade places with a 'caveman' and survive more than a month.Hahaha Touchè the grammar part hits me hard.
Peace
We stand on the shoulders of thousands of giants; so many we can't see the ground. Worse, we are mostly unthinkingly specialized and without a great deal of basic knowledge about life, basic living skills and modern technology.
The scariest thing is how willing we are to threaten to throw it all away over greed, religion it simple aggression. This is the greatest threat to our potential as a species and the well-being of our children.

Yeah thats pretty much what I believe.... its the idea of making the most profit out of everything that kills all. Religion in this relation or color race ideology are just things to cover what its realy about. PROFIT.
And as we all know ... its just about 500 people/families who own everything that is worth a fart on this planet.
And they make money out of everything.
Now isnt power, money, etc. the most dangerous and destructive addiction?
maaan I am a happy poor fella!

If I met an alien, I'd ask for space weed seed's in exchange for a flat earther to probe..

Obviously, the world's war machines are the greatest threat to our collective future.
Of course there's the risk of using them but even in the (unlikely) event they're never used at all, they still represent an incredible waste of resources in terms of their development, manufacture and maintenance. Surely we can find something better to do with all those trillions of dollars?
Is it perhaps this enlightenment that there aliens are watching for before they make themselves known? If I was an alien I wouldn't want to fuck with such a wastefully warlike race as we are. Right now we're much more trouble than we're worth!

Why there may not be many alien civilisations out there and what we'd better get right if we want to progress beyond our own plenty.

Military Report: UFOs May Have Attempted Rendezvous With Giant Undersea Object
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ufo-undersea-object_us_5b0cfd34e4b0fdb2aa5637d3
<snip>
The 2004 incident involving the “Tic Tac” UFO, named because it was a fast-moving white object that resembled one of the mints, was first revealed late last year by The New York Times and The Washington Post.
KLAS, the CBS affiliate in Las Vegas, obtained a copy of a report “prepared by and for the military” in 2009 that details multiple interactions with anomalous aerial vehicles (AAVs) over two weeks in late 2004. The report also discussed the high speed and advanced cloaking capabilities that allowed the AAVs to evade observation and detection.
“The AAVs would descend ‘very rapidly’ from approximately 60,000 feet down to approximately 50 feet in a matter of seconds,” the report noted.
Pilots indicated there may have been something in the water as well. One pilot detailed a disturbance up to the size of a football field:
“The disturbance appeared to be 50 to 100 meters in diameter and close to round. It was the only area and type of whitewater activity that could be seen and reminded him of images of something rapidly submerging from the surface like a submarine or a ship sinking.”

UFOs cannot crash, their technology is far too advanced. UFOs are sent to 'crash' for certain world governments at certain times, to give them particular technology to lead Mankind in a direction the senders desire. The so-called 'greys' inside the UFOs are only disposable hybrid plant-based drones.

Go on the flat Earth cruise I posted.
I've never met one in person either. They are definitely unicorns

I'd much rather go cruising with people I can have an intelligent conversation with. That cruise seems like a dreadful waste of time.

I hope this is true and evidence of extra terrestrial visitors.
I was born just a scant 3 years before the first moon landing.
It would be quite the bookend to be alive during the time when humans made First Contact with a race from another world.
Wanting to believe is much different than proof, however.

Well there's two areas you've made mistakes in already..
You're a little late on your "First Contact" fantasy scenario, but only by thousands of years, but let's put that aside for now..
Assuming as you believe, that aliens come from vast distances, and that they travel light years to get here with no problem, but when they get here they just can't seem to fly around the earth without crashing and burning is, well frankly it's silly..

Said with so much fucking authority... like you would ever be an expert in anything...
Let’s not forget you believe in everything including tooth fairies

There is nothing proven whatsoever. I believe there's something else out there. Not in our Galaxy. But somewhere.
But that's just my belief. With all technology and shit now.. we'd have concrete evidence. But we don't. So there is nothing based in fact. Just people saying they seen some shit and sometimes a video clip that looks like it was recorded by a microwave... Maybe the aliens are responsible for the chem trails youre so worried about. Do you think aliens come from another flat world?
