I bring this up because it seems to once again be gaining traction in the zeitgeist: I cannot comprehend why UFO hunters put so much time and effort into trying to force governments to “reveal the truth about extraterrestrial contact”, but I also cannot fathom how they think aliens even have a chance of successfully contacting us in-person in the first place.
a) Why does anyone believe extraterrestrials would be able to track us down at all? Space is BIG.
b) If aliens knew we existed in the first place, please explain the math of how they’d get here. Even taking Star Trek logic into account and considering warp drive as a possibility, when considering relativity, Newton’s third law and the mathematics of achieving the right conditions of either for deep space travel, warp drive still seems implausible.
c) In the mathematically improbable situation where intelligent life did manage to get here, why would they be tiptoeing around in the background for seemingly 80 or so years when they are clearly technologically superior to us and nothing humanity has available to itself could remotely stop them? It seems silly to imagine these incredible lifeforms getting here and then having an “oops we crash landed” event.
d) Lastly, governments successfully covering up such an event(s) for decades is a fairy tale. Governments playing around with flight and stealth technology for the last 100 years? Yeah that seems likely.
Do I think intelligent life exists? Absolutely. Is there a chance those beings have contacted or reached us? 99.9999999% no. Is it fun to speculate about the possibilities and portray those possibilities in stories? Of course. Should people be spending time and money forming organizations to “force the government to tell the truth”, thereby wasting everyone else’s time and resources and ultimately being drains on society? Absolutely not. I don’t get it.
removing a cat from a fridge sounds like a very straightforward thing to do and treats shouldn’t be required. you just grab the cat.
some friends of mine made this very beautiful thing in the living room to feed cats up high where dog couldn’t get it. shelves kind of staircased around the room about 1m, 2m and 2.5m high. cats loved the 2.5m perch. it was put together out of antique furniture that matched their style, not ugly carpet cat furniture stuff. i doubt they would tolerate cat on countertop or cat in fridge or cat in cooking pot.
one german lady I knew told me that if my cats sleep on my bed it means I should move my bed. Apparently in germany it is widely believed that cats like bad “lay lines” so anywhere they sleep indicates bad energy. Ever since then I have imagine cat owners in germany endlessly moving their bed around a room trying to find the one location where the cat will no longer be attracted to it. So maybe the problem is that the countertops of your friends have all been build along strongly dangerous lay lines while yours have not been. Now you are full of “good lay line privilege” pretending it’s all due to your hard work. Have you ever even once suggested to these friends that they should move their counters?
