    I think reluctance to believe in extraterrestrial life is part of neoliberal "end of history" ism. If the universe is teeming with life we haven't yet found, but could, it suggests that neoliberal capitalism is not our peak but is in fact a very primitive early historical state.

        I think this is why I see a lot of Silicon Valley types casting doubt on the existence of aliens. You might expect these space-loving rationalists to be into aliens, but aliens would actually prove that they are part of a primitive society rather than an advanced, unique one.

        They view the universe as an effectively endless source of resources waiting to be tapped.

        The aliens refuse to visit us because Nathan Robinson keeps going on with some nerd shit.

        Haven't you posted this before? Since the aliens haven't helped with the virus (or maybe that's them) why should I care? What brought this on? Any more?

        The idea that lifeforms on other planets would be developing societies similar to ours and space travel on a time scale coincidentally similar to ours is just stupidly anthropocentric. “Ancient aliens” type theories are more likely (but still not very)

        I totally agree. Like what are the chances that they'd be able to have societies we could categorize as "Socialist" or "Neoliberal"
