  • Again: I’ve not seen anywhere where that’s specifically linked.

    the timestamp I linked the forest video is him reading a screen grab from the instructor’s response as to exactly why they got the grade they got. one reason was not addressing the article in an assignment that was to react to an article. Which- also as Forest had said elsewhere- is a fairly normal type of essay to write up for anything related to science.

    there’s also a significant corpus of messaging board conversations with other students where the student was very offensive.



  • I personally suspect that if aliens actually did show up to earth, they wouldn’t be content to remain in the shadows.

    Basically, the native life is the only thing that would be of interest. we (that is life,) are the only things that are actually unique to this particular system. If it’s simple curiosity about things, they could study us from a distance, without ever revealing themselves to us (or the government.)

    Which leaves a few reasons for why they’d come here:

    • Genocidal freaks who have some biological or cultural imperative to kill everything that’s not them.
    • Space Mormons coming to share their faith.
    • Space evangelicals. They’re like Space Mormons, except turn into the first group when you politely decline.

    Either way… we’d know they’d be here.
