Even the Aliens Are Boring

Everything is boring, even the aliens.

Sometimes truth is best revealed tongue-in-cheek, that is, in semi-serious banter rather than supposedly serious analysis.

Consider the recent flood-tide of "news" about extraterrestrial vehicles, a.k.a. UFOs and UAPs--(formerly Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, now Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, to include underwater phenomena.

Prolific podcaster (1,314 podcasts and counting) Tommy Corrigan and I tackled the UAP mystery--why are UAPs now an officially sanctioned "thing"?--in a free-form conversation, Aliens Are Boring (1:08 hrs).

As you can tell from the title of our podcast, the truth is the Powers That Be have managed to make the aliens boring. Rather than the "revelations" being "stunning" or "shocking," the entire exercise was as boring as everything else the PTB manage.

Hype and outrage, people just lose interest.

Or, as some anticipate, the "UAPs are now a thing" story is the cover for the unveiling of the weaponization of space that's already well underway. That would be mildly interesting, but to the degree it's already been anticipated, it too would quickly slide into the boring bin.

The problem may well be terminal boredom with the whole shebang. Everything has been so relentlessly hyped to grab "attention" that the dosage now exceeds the event horizon of any possible effect: the screaming, shouting cacophony of "news", crises, threats, revelations, scandals, cover-ups, PR, marketing, narrative-control, gambling, gaming, threadbare outrage, bogus statistics, etc. no longer move the needle. Everything is boring, even the aliens.

It’s just another distraction to take people away from the biden scandal and the mess they have made out of our country

To the human mind, the fantastic becomes philosophically-mundane within a few seconds. 

It's our self-preservation gene.
