What’s wrong with making a safe wager?
What’s wrong with making the safest assumption possible about a non-human intelligence that refuses to show itself, and has a history of abducting and abusing human beings?
And does it really matter whether we have proof before we make such a wager? How does it harm us to take a definitive position as a species that this kind of behavior on our planet is unacceptable?
What is the risk of “acting too soon”? What consequence comes to a defiant species awake enough to declare its sovereignty to each other and the rest of the universe? Why is it safer to be weak, docile, and compliant to an abhorrent form of contact that we never consented to, than to scream into the sky “YOU WERE NOT INVITED!”?
And upon witnessing this brave and unprecedented declaration, what “benevolent” race would have the audacity to take issue with that courageous and determined young species — one who was immorally and prematurely forced into contact — to find their voice and defend their right to exist in a hostile universe that did almost nothing to welcome them into a greater community of intelligent life?
Where is the fault in my logic?
I don’t see one. All I see is an entire UFO subculture ignoring the warnings people like me have been screaming for years — screaming for them to just think logically for one second: “Gee, maybe it’s immoral for advanced entities to engage in secret contact on a primitive planet. Maybe this contact isn’t actually helping us. Maybe our ignorance, divisiveness, and lack of consensus is making us easy to exploit. Maybe some of what’s happening to us as a species is partly about our refusal to stand up for ourselves. Maybe we should start doing that — even if we aren’t 100% sure it will work, and even if we don't have proof.”
Maybe.
But doing nothing? Sitting idly by, waiting for “proof” from aliens to demonstrate benevolence after more than 80 years of refusing to do so?
I would rather die.
Do not evade your responsibility as a human being. Do not stay silent. Do not wait for “proof.” Speak out against NHI abuse and secrecy NOW. Speak out against the beings who refuse to show themselves NOW. Speak out against this immoral contact NOW. The data is here: ophello.github.io
Stop daydreaming, start protesting.
