Achieving Human Unity Through Alien Invasion

I WAS NEVER much of a Ronald Reagan fan, quite the opposite in fact, but Reagan made the most brilliant statement I've have ever heard, ironically. Ironically, because to this day I consider Ronald Wilson Reagan to be among the most mediocre intellects I have ever encountered. Well, sometimes a blind old squirrel finds an acorn, as they say. No offense to you Reagan lovers. Roughly, Der Gipper's comment went something like this. "If the Earth were ever threatened by an alien species from another planet, the human race would unite." A good, solid, science fiction kind of remark. You have to assume the by saying this, Reagan was plaintively wishing for a better world that never was, might never be, and he would never live to see. but he must have believed that somehow, such a world, a world of human unity, was possible, by some means, alien or otherwise. We act for all the world that such a world of peace and prosperity is not possible, some sort of fantasy. In fact, there is nothing preventing it. NO law of nature, no prohibitive set of circumstances, nothing. this is obvious from even the most cursory scrutiny and analysis of the observable universe and humanity's place within. Common sense tells us that there is nothing preventing us from crating not only a better world, but an amazingly better one, - but ourselves. Hell, if nothing else, we could all chip in, and pay somebody to stage an alien invasion, an updated version of the famous H.G wells Orson Welle's radio drama from the nineteen thirties. This time, it would have to be more convincing, with radio, television, and the rest of the electronic media, including Facebook and Twitter, cooperating fully. Maybe Donald Trump could pull it off. A make believe alien invasion to get us humans to all work together, help each other, care about each other, and, heaven forbid, to even love each other.
