Avoiding Humanity

UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS have been with us, buzzing around us, a long time, thousands of years, of you can believe the pictures crudely painted inside caves. Christopher Columbus wrote about them in his ocean voyage journal, unabashedly, since he had plenty of corroborating witnesses.

References to flying vehicles and creatures inside them occur in colonial american literature, and throughout european literature. All throughout european history, spectacular UFO displays have been occuring, and making it into the literature.

The great UFO craze of today started in 1947, after the crash near roswell, new mexico, of either a military craft, or an extraterrestrial one. At first the military gave the credit to aliens, then within a day after the crash on july 4, 1947, began claiming credit for itself, and has ever since.

Enrico Fermi, who as much as anyone else invented the atomic bomb, was interested in the UFO phenomenon. He didn't believe a word of it.  His reasoning was as follows: if there were really intelligent beings on other planets, and if they were looking for other intelligent life in the universe, they would by now have found us, or we them. Since we haven't heard from them, they must not be out there.

Fermi was a brilliant man, and his reasoning sounded, and still sounds, quite convincing. He was as convinced as anyone ever has been that the human race is the only intelligent living species in the universe, and he used advanced scientific analysis to reach that conclusion, which distinguishes him from nearly everyone else who agrees with him.

Fermi took into account only logic and strict mathematical reasoning, which may not be enough. He failed to take into account psychology. Intelligent creatures anywhere would engage in something similar to what we call "thinking", and, like human thought, extraterrestrial thinking would likely be subject to psychological analysis.

In other words, whatever they would do, there would undoubtedly be a reason, or a thought, behind it, they would have plans of action. One question they would have to deal with is; how should they interact with humans, and should they interact with humans at all, or hide themselves from humans, as they doubtless would be quite technologically able to do.

You wonder if Fermi ever asked the question; if you were an alien, would you want to have anything to do with humans, other than observing and studying them, considering their treatment of each other? would YOU want to associate with humans. particularly in 1947, after witnessing world war two?

Fermi invented the atomic bomb. Fermi was part of the problem, not the solution. It might very well be because of people like enrico fermi that the aliens don't talk to us.
