I swear to God, no alien culture is ever going to visit us.
We are a literal insane asylum.
Who the fuck has ever broken INTO the hospital? 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine traveling 40 light-years, developing technology capable of bending space-time, finally discovering another intelligent civilization, and the first thing you see is two grown men beating the shit out of each other over a parking space.
Then you turn on the television and discover we've divided ourselves into imaginary teams, convinced ourselves our particular team has all the answers, and built entire industries around selling people happiness they apparently can't find without a subscription.
Alien Captain: "Is this a prison planet?"
First Officer: "No, sir. They appear to be running it themselves."
Captain: "Jesus Christ. Lock the doors."
EARTH: THE ONLY INSANE ASYLUM WHERE THE PATIENTS ELECT THE ADMINISTRATORS.
NOT THE SHAMAN
