In pop culture, they are often depicted as far superior to humans in terms of technology, physique, and intellect. But by studying the documented alien abductions and encounters, there are great indications that aliens, most notably “the greys” are actually dumber than us. Here are 5 stipulations that can make you agree.
1. They travel thousands of light years just to kidnap one person.
Although we don't know the methods by which they do their commercial transactions, we should undoubtedly embrace the idea that the grey aliens as well as other extraterrestrial races are also performing their ways of buying and selling in their own planets.
They're not human, but since they are also living beings, they also need to eat or consume something so they would stay alive. Furthermore, they also need to create and build things like the amazing spaceship that let them travel through the cosmos and into our planet.
We could never know how they built their ships or flying saucers but we could fairly assume that it would certainly require great amounts of resources and labor. Now here's the intriguing question – what's the point of expensively making a spaceship and traveling through many light years just to abduct a lone person who took a wrong turn in the woods?
According to Betty Hill, one of the most popular alien abductees in recent history, the grey aliens who she claimed took her and her husband in 1961were from Zeta Riticuli – a star system 39 light-years away from Earth.
Since this is accepted by ufologists and ET believers, let's assume that the grey aliens are actual residents from that star system. If we are to make them subject to the rules of physics, (we have to, they are made of matter after all) then their transit from their planet to ours would take no less than 39 years.
The rules of physics dictate that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, so we have to assume that the maximum speed that an alien spaceship can achieve would never exceed the ultimate speed limit.
But they could have traveled through a wormhole, you may say– a shortcut through space and time so they can arrive on Earth faster. But according to scientists, wormholes are microscopically tiny that fitting a spaceship into it is next to impossible.
Let's assume that aliens have somehow found a way to enlarge it so that their ships can fit through it. But we have to also acknowledge that such a method must be very expensive.
Since they have consumed enormous amounts of time and resources to commission a journey into Earth, then why kidnap just one or two persons? What profit can they ever get out of that?
2. They seem to kidnap only Americans and English-speaking people.
We often hear alien abductions stories that always seem to contain the same predictable elements: a lone person in the woods, a bright light from the night sky, a hovering circular object, and a group of thin humanoid creatures with bulbous heads coming out of it.
Upon closer and wider readings though, we can have the conclusion that these creatures seem to only favor abducting westerners or those who belong to the white races. Though there have been claims of abductions and encounters in other parts of the world, the greatest percentages are mostly in American territory, or in Europe.
This can make us wonder. Why do these aliens choose to abduct humans from powerful countries who have better chances to fight them back? Why not choose those who belong to third-world countries instead?
No offense against such people, but since they don't have enough firepower to fight foreign forces within the planet, they wouldn't stand a chance against much-more advanced alien races.
With their advance tech and more brilliant reconnaissance methods, aliens can certainly spot the areas on Earth with the weakest resistance easily. There, they can easily kidnap anyone with lesser or no hassle at all. The fact that they often choose to abduct people from heavily armed nations is clearly a stupid choice.
3. They invented superb tech but haven't thought of inventing clothing.
We humans, in spite of our alleged inferiority to aliens were able to utilize animal skins and plant fibers to stitch up clothing and invent fashion– one of the most important aspects of man's short and feeble existence.
We managed to create intricate and sophisticated clothes and have provided livelihood for many earthlings because of it. It doesn't take a very intelligent mind to understand that clothing can greatly improve a world's status because it can also improve the well-being of its inhabitants. This makes us beg a very intriguing question.
Why do aliens failed to invent clothing? Are they focused too much on developing interstellar technology that they overlooked the importance of covering their skinny frames? Are they simply natural-born pornstars? Could it be that their own version of Adam and Eve resisted temptation and refused to eat their own version of the forbidden fruit?
Or it could simply be that for all their superior intellect, they're still common idiots– they forgot to cover their ugly selves. Speaking of ugly...
4. They're still very ugly even though they had more time to evolve.
If aliens are more technologically advanced than we are, it's probably because they have been around for thousands or millions of years before humans came to be. If we are to look back and study the rules of natural selection and evolution, we can easily get the idea that the longer a species has thrived, the more evolutionary phases it has probably been through.
Now this can make us beg another intriguing question, why are the grey aliens still so ugly? If we humans have evolved already into a very attractive race though we have just been around for 6 thousand years, would the greys who are said to have existed far longer be presumably better looking?
One of the most important notions of every living thing is the need to procreate. In order to do so, one has to attract a member of the opposite gender so he o she, or it, can impregnate someone or get pregnant, so in effect an offspring can be conceived.
The grey aliens must have really a hard time procreating, they are so disgustingly ugly that it would be difficult for them to get laid. To make matters worse, they all look the same. It would be very hard to make love to someone who looks exactly like you, wouldn't it?
Maybe that's why they kidnap humans, so they can look different and study how we became beautiful creatures, with high hopes that they can be as attractive as we are. So far, they are failing miserably. Poor aliens, so smart yet so dumb they can't even invent plastic surgery.
5. They fail to realize that humans are the ultimate assholes in the universe.
Because the universe is so enormously large, other intelligent beings are most certainly living in other planets in a manner that's a bit similar to ours. In our galaxy alone, there are an estimated number of 17 billion earth-sized planets.
Though nobody can still confirm if all of these planets can really support life, such a figure is still too big. And since carbon and moisture, 2 of the most important ingredients for life conception are proven to also exist somewhere else, life and civilization could also exist too.
An alien, a truly intelligent one like one of the greys would choose to avoid visiting earth. Why? Because humans are assholes. We have only been civilized for 6,000 years but the rate by which we are so consumed with greed, jealousy, lust and other horrendous traits is so appalling that it's almost too scary to look into the future. We're so good in screwing each other up that world peace is just a fantasy.
With the discovery of nuclear weapons, even just two warring nations could easily wipe out all of humanity and bring not only humans but all living things to extinction as well. And who's to say that weapons of mass destruction are the only problem?
Even if wars and the deadly tools therein are absent, there is still an overwhelming level of selfishness that litter our brains. It's not as deadly as a nuclear bomb, but it can still wipe us out all the same.
Why do the grey aliens still choose to visit us and abduct our kind? Why do they still come back here again and again? The answer? Because they are stupid. After all the great innovations and unparalleled ingenuity, they are still dumber than us. They have other better worlds to conquer, but they still choose to drop by on earth. They would get extinguished along with our stupidity... and theirs.
Hope I just gave you a unique dose of alien humor.
Beautifully encapsulated the human species. Put a smile on my face 🤣.
