Yeah.

Emotions, all the things, the human reward systems that exist that we currently struggle with, we would be the same way.

Just think of what we justify on Earth in terms of destruction of habitat, of native species, animals that we kill, all the different things that we do on Earth, factory farming.

Now imagine why would we care about these lizard people that live in caves on some fucking stupid planet?

We would probably kidnap them.

We'd kill them.

We'd pickle them.

We'd bring them back home.

We'd freeze them.

Right.

All right.

Look at what Columbus did when they arrived and took the natives and had them get gold.

And if they didn't, they cut their arms off.

Horrific, terrifying things.

So imagine there's no evidence that aliens are currently doing that, which is the promising thing.

Right.

The even the abductions.

although I'm sure they're terrifying if they're true, they seem rather benign.

Like in fact, in the Travis Walton case, do you know that one?

It's one of the most famous ones.
