If we set aside conspiracy theories suggesting that extraterrestrials are already here, controlling everything, we should ask ourselves: what would truly different beings do with us? I must agree with the late Stephen Hawking – our immaturity would likely lead to our destruction by extraterrestrials.
Why their alleged presence are just mere conspiracy theories
We should be aware that the majority of conspiracy theories are nonsensical. However, some “conspiracy theories” are not really a conspiracy. Of course, there is a hidden element present, but we have massive evidence that a few super-rich banks and super-rich families behind them with one unnamed assets-rich religious clientelism rule the USA. When there is evidence, there is no discussion.
But there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that extraterrestrial beings have visited Earth. Many claims have been made, but nothing substantial has ever been found. People report seeing strange objects, yet no one has ever produced a single piece of alien technology. The supposed artifacts, often labeled as “alien,” turn out to be hoaxes or simple misidentifications of earthly materials. We have no undeniable alien objects for scientific scrutiny.
Science demands proof. No peer-reviewed studies confirm the existence of extraterrestrial beings on Earth. Claims of alien encounters don’t hold up under scientific examination. Real evidence needs to be verified and replicated. So far, nothing about alleged alien visits fits that requirement. No scientific paper has ever provided verifiable data that proves aliens have been here. The lack of this kind of rigorous, repeatable proof leaves the scientific community skeptical.
No biological proof
In all the years of supposed sightings, no one has ever provided biological evidence of extraterrestrial life. Some people claim they have had close encounters with aliens, but they have never brought back anything that can be studied. No alien DNA. No strange organic material. Nothing at all. Despite countless stories of alien contact, no one has produced a single biological sample to back it up. Without any physical proof, these claims remain just that – claims.
Many of the UFO sightings and reports of alien encounters have simple explanations. Natural phenomena, like meteor showers or strange clouds, are often mistaken for alien spacecraft. Human-made objects, such as satellites or military aircraft, also get misidentified. These objects can look unfamiliar and confusing from a distance, especially at night. Investigations into UFO sightings often reveal ordinary explanations behind what seemed mysterious at first.
The Fermi Paradox makes this even more puzzling. It asks a simple question: If extraterrestrial civilizations exist, and they are advanced enough to travel to Earth, why haven’t we found any clear evidence? With all the planets in the universe, intelligent life is statistically likely to exist somewhere. But if they are out there and have the ability to reach us, why don’t we have any solid proof of their presence? The complete absence of evidence leads to serious doubts about whether aliens have ever visited Earth.
In the end, there’s nothing – no physical objects, no biological samples, no peer-reviewed data, no undeniable sightings – that supports the idea that extraterrestrial beings have been here. The lack of any proof speaks louder than the many claims.
Destroyed by extraterrestrials: the super-rich and powerful persons
Elon Musk, one of the greatest celebrities of our time, definitely not the richest person on this planet (he is actually poor compared to those ruling the US), is undoubtedly a powerful person. And they do what the Homo sapiens had been doing since its inception – compete for power. And this is the whole system, the Big Banks, super-rich families, and multinational lobbyists, while I don’t have to say everything of it goes against the vital prospects of humankind.
More reasons: The developed civilization doesn’t need a world order
Westphalian balance of power (1648–1789), Islamic caliphate order, European imperial system, American-led order (post-WWII), China’s tributary system, post-colonial orders, globalized order (fragmented), Pax Romana (27 BCE–180 CE), Pax Mongolica (13th–14th centuries), Concert of Europe (1815–1914), League of Nations (1919–1939), Cold War bipolar order (1945–1991), Pax Americana (1991–2008), multipolar order (2008–present).
All balances of power in today’s capitalism are based on financial amounts nobody can imagine. But why must there be indirect democracy, and why might super-rich groups—in some cases—be beneficial?
All of this is because people are inept at voting (our political instincts are suited to small hunter-gatherer groups) for world government, pacifism, and anti-tribalism. The super-rich rule us, and all we can do is stare. My humble suggestion is a party that opposes clientelism.
Our moral system is animalistic, but it couldn’t have been
Every single moral action leads to such moral actions that make everyone experience the most ecstatic moments. Am I joking? No. But our animalistic morality shouldn’t be a laughing stock as well. Let’s dive into evolutionary biology and evolutionary psychology for a start!
Homo sapiens are completely selfish, highly territorial (therefore apartments, buildings, houses), vindictive (if someone does this to my children, I would kill him – somehow uncaring if this is done to the rest) intriguing social interactions how to gain scarce resources (food, water, shelters, fire, tools, and weapons), and sexual partners. They are trying to gain social status (leadership, therefore), knowledge and skills, build social alliances, and so on.
They seek to establish dominance and defend against perceived threats, leading to the formation of social structures that protect their interests and ensure access to resources. Driven by survival and competition, Homo sapiens create complex strategies and alliances, navigating social dynamics to secure their place within the group.
And despite the shallow part of the moral system had changed, the core didn’t.
Morality based on selfishness
How would a mother who is a judge sentence her son who is a murderer? Where is a justice (by law or morality) who will be born and how lucky life he or she will live? And there are billions of moral choices that are actually truly immoral for those particular outcomes.
To calculate the number of potential genetic combinations, you would multiply the number of sperm by the number of eggs. For example, if there are 100 million sperm and 1 million eggs available for fertilization, the total number of potential genetic combinations would be 100 million multiplied by 1 million. It would result in 100 trillion possible combinations. And if you are reading this, it is you as one of the unimaginable numbers.
Right morality as sci-fi, real morality is selfish and with millions of dead
Imagine people stopping all their activities only to bring the most happiness to an infinite number of consciousnesses. The world would turn to complete chaos. Not only doesn’t morality do this but its multi-steps lead to outcomes where unimaginable suffering is present.
Human morality, based on selfishness, stems from a basic instinct to protect oneself and close relations, using moral rules to ensure personal safety, social reputation, and mutual cooperation, ultimately serving individual and group survival. Also, people compete for sexual partners, stocks, cars, and jobs, and while someone may insinuate the government is giving something back, it had been a long historical process to make do it (and I am neither Marxist, nor communist, but something as surplus value exists and the exploiting goes from ordinary people to companies, to multinational companies, and to the Big Banks; but government can take some of it and redistribute it).
Every time something huge happens (WW2, the Holocaust, Cultural Revolution, WW1, the Spanish Flu pandemic (1918–1919), the Great Chinese Famine (1959–1961), the Russian Civil War, Stalin’s purges and forced collectivization, the Atlantic slave trade, the Congo Free State atrocities, and the 1932–1933 Ukrainian Holodomor), it ends up with tens of millions of deaths.
Destroyed by extraterrestrials: Can we change our morality? It could have been changed a long time ago
Not only we can change it, but it could have been done a long time ago. Not only this can be a reason why we would be destroyed by extraterrestrials, but it cannot show how immature Homo sapiens are.
Exploring our DNA, modifying it through highly advanced AI, reengineering our culture would be closer to the moral system such as total utilitarianism than – what we have now (and I am not denying that we can function at all) – basically moral nihilism.
Economic exploitation of the Global South by the Global North
Western financial systems exploit the Global South through debt traps, economic policies, and banking institutions that keep developing nations in a cycle of dependency. Western countries provide loans with terms that often worsen poverty and reduce economic sovereignty in poorer nations. Multinational corporations take advantage of low labor costs and extract resources, funneling wealth back to the West while stunting local development.
Additionally, mechanisms like environmental policies and commodity price manipulation enable Western countries to control resources and markets. Capital flight and tax havens ensure profits remain inaccessible to the countries where they’re generated. This structure not only maintains economic inequality but also entrenches Western dominance, reinforcing a system that prioritizes wealth accumulation for the West at the cost of sustainable growth in the Global South.
Needless to say, advanced civilization do not exploit workers, entrepreneurs (small ones by the big ones), modern-day slaves or the whole part of the world. Therefore, other reasons to be destroyed by extraterrestrials.
We torture each other, animals do it on a huge scale. Truly advanced civilization could consider it as a problem
People don’t care whether the meat they are eating is a product of ritual slaughter. I am fully aware people don’t care how cruel we are to animals.
I also understand people don’t care there are concentration camps (China, North Korea, Latin America) as jails, “correction” facilities, and so on where massive torture occurs.
But what about nature? Animals have primitive moral systems compared to us and, of course, are truly immoral ever from our common moral standpoint.
They act based on instinct rather than moral reasoning, making them incapable of understanding human-defined right or wrong. They pursue survival, often aggressively and selfishly, without any concept of guilt or fairness. Attempting to teach morality to animals fails because their behavior isn’t guided by ethical considerations – it’s driven by evolutionary adaptations.
In nature, animals endure intense suffering as they interact violently for survival. Prey animals may experience prolonged pain as they are hunted. Some of them remain alive while predators consume them. Insects like certain wasps paralyze prey to keep them alive. This causes extended agony for the paralyzed creature as larvae consume it. Animals inflict severe pain within their species as well, with fights over mates or territory often leaving members injured or dead. Cannibalism in some species, like fish eating weaker offspring, also brings intense suffering, reflecting survival instincts devoid of compassion.
If we let this happen (this unbelievably cruel theater), the superior civilization would likely have a problem with this.
Conclusion: a perfect civilization would likely destroy us
What to do with inherently evil people? Redesign them completely genetically? Extraterrestrials wouldn’t fix our evil and twisted moral system.
They don’t need to be included in our highest political power struggles (both hidden and visible ones). They wouldn’t be curious about how many millions of people we will kill in the next conflict.
If they acted according to total utilitarianism, they would make sure their conscious entities get the chance to live the most ecstatic lives (this is the result of philosophy)—so why keep humans full of problems?
They would only make a zoo with all the earthly species, including us. But they would destroy our “civilization.”
