I'm not a part of any "threat narrative" but I just don't know enough about the reality of the phenomenon to say we should discount a potential negative intent. We should proceed with caution.
@hollywoodufos I still feel like any advanced ETs that really wanted to take over Earth could have done it long ago... which is not to say there can’t be some negative entities out there, but the body of evidence suggests the majority of our visitors are benevolent
@hollywoodufos Think the whole threat piece might tell us more about ourselves. Of course it's sensible to be open and mindful of negative intent. That said, we've been targeting them for decades and allegedly shooting some down. If we talk about threat, let's also talk about restraint.
@hollywoodufos Yes we should proceed with caution
@hollywoodufos We could assess it until we were blue in the face, there is absolutely nothing we would be able to do to stop a species capable of interstellar/interplanetary travel. It would be game over before we knew what happened.
@hollywoodufos We don’t classify all of humanity as a threat and never have.
@hollywoodufos I don’t know if we should consider them a threat. But I do think we should guard against any tendency to ascribe any magical deity attributes or capabilities to them beyond what we observe. Lest we should make the mistakes the Aztecs made when Cortes arrived on their shores.
