The problem with the whole Alien Invasion genre...

(Do you mean the movie that missed the obvious names for its aliens, Kang & Kodos...?)

The Simpsons! I love Kang and Kodos.

It's also likely that they are so far away from us we will never be able to contact them.

That’s the thing, though, isn’t it? Far away? Zero-point energy...there’s no such thing as far away.

I am interested in this but all the music and fast movements were really distracting. Are they saying we can all contact aliens or what? It seems like we all have to become Buddhists to do so? Can you give me the gyst without all that chaos? Looks itneresting if I could get a grasp on it.

i’d say just watch the documentary. You can rent it on Amazon. It’s worth it.

I love Kang and Kodos.

Did you see The Arrival (2016)?

I think extraterrestrials are interdimensional, not physical in the way we understand. I don’t think we’re in any way, on any level, capable of understanding any of it with our human brains.

That's what I liked so much about the film "Arrival". Where not only the aliens were completely different physically, but that their immediate environment while on Earth violated some of our own laws of physics. With thought processes in conjunction with how they communicate being totally alien concepts as well.

There's really no reason to assume that any aliens will magically conform to anything about our immediate physical environment, let alone our physical selves or any human thoughts, protocols or social, political and economic conventions.

Now draw some parallels with how so many humans are so ethnocentric about their own species. Where they default to a mentality that all sentient beings are- or should be just like them.

I suppose any human who doesn't measure up to this majority must have simply been born on the wrong planet. Sound familiar?

I just watched this the other day, and it’s really good. Might be of interest to you.

Well, I went and watched this for the heck of it.

Hmm. Not sure how to feel about it really.
