The Earth is a dangerous place to live.
It has been since the beginning.
Apart from natural occurring events, what we do to the Earth ourselves, including what we do to each other and to all other life forms on this planet is the real disaster.
We love to spin righteous warnings of doom to anyone who will listen, about impending cosmic catastrophe that we can do nothing about, yet the things we have the capability of fixing, that would certainly have a positive effect for all life on this planet.... we do nothing.. and not only nothing, we make sure these problems grow continuously worse every year.
If there are aliens amongst us, they observe our dis-functional logic and while they are hysterically laughing, probably are making bets on when we will perform the next galactically stupid assault on this world.
Do we really think that E.T. wants to deal with us? Will any kind of disclosure have a positive effect on us, or will it just expose and legitimize another part of our existence that we can exploit and plunder?
