How do you guys cope with the fact that the world isn't getting any better? - eviltoast

I’m really worried about the state of the US despite being a white male who was I’ll coast right through it. I’ll also accept “I don’t” and “very poorly” as answers

    The “Great Filter” premise assumes that there are no other “advanced” civilizations in the galaxy. Seems like that might not be the case, if the UAP news is not some massive psy-op lol

      Aliens probably exist somewhere, but space is unfathomably large. They have never been here. UAPs generally fall into two categories: faked or oddities not understood at their time of capture.

        Listen to Cmdr. Fravor and the three other pilots that witnessed the Nimitz UAP in the early 2000s. A tic tac shaped object, darting back and forth like a ping pong ball, that travelled from ~80,000 ft to ~20,000 ft in seconds on radar, and went to their cap point, “60 miles away in one minute”. If it isn’t NHI it is almost certainly some zero gravity tech completely unknown to the average person and is very unlikely to have not leaked at some point.

            Right, cause the leaked, top secret, and confirmed real video is a fake? i don’t trust the images, but i do trust the stories and people behind the videos. I know its hard to believe, but the truth truly is out there

                  Debunking can also mean to expose something as exaggerated, which is what these are.

                  They’re just aerial phenomena that the government can’t or doesn’t care to explain. It absolutely does not mean any of what they released is of extra terrestrial origin, nor does it imply there’s any crazy advanced tech going on. It’s typically misinterpretations or weird tricks of light occurring in camera, which are initially classified as the cause is unknown, then are later deemed safe to declassify.
