You want to know how I know it’s not aliens? Because in the most technologically advanced space-faring society on the only planet we can empirically prove life exists, we elected Donald Trump.

You want to know how I know it’s not aliens? Because you can consistently convince people to pay $1.01 for a $1 bill (sunk cost fallacy)

You want to know how I know it’s not aliens? Because there’s an entire concept (fallacy) in our species’ language based around not accepting reality.

In order to legitimately travel the vast regions of interstellar space (in the absence of handwavium FTL) you have to accept that the reality is your local star system has all the resources you’ll ever need until the death of your star.

And even if you needed more resources (unlikely!) the easiest place to get them would be the next closest star, not some bumfuck nowheresville in the ass end of the galactic spiral.

And even if you decided to expand out to bumfucksville nowhereland, the light bubble of your efforts would alert the inhabitants loooooooong before you arrived.

currently our understanding of faster than light travel is that it isn't possible full stop, so either that is true or else it's based on principles we don't (yet?) understand and should not assume we already understand

And the assumption that an FTL capable race we’re unable to detect system-wide evidence of would happen to find us so irresistibly fascinating that they couldn’t help but flit around in our atmosphere is so anthropocentric that I want to fucking puke.

Of all the things in the universe an FTL capable species would choose to come visit and they choose us? Gtfo
