The Dilemma of Searching for Alien Life

As humanity continues its quest to discover extraterrestrial life, the question arises: why are we so eager to find something beyond our own planet when we struggle to take care of our own people? This article explores the reasons behind our fascination with extraterrestrial life and the challenges we face on Earth.

Alien Life Has Already Found Us

It is clear that alien life has already made contact with us. Over the past 77 years, the Plejaren extraterrestrials have been in contact with Billy Meier, providing evidence of their existence. Despite this, our search for alien life continues, often overshadowing the urgent need to address issues on our own planet.

The Diversions of Alien Life Exploration

The pursuit of extraterrestrial life and habitable planets serves as a diversion. We seek a perfect environment, pristine and untouched by human activity, to ensure our survival. While this goal may one day be achieved, it serves as a distraction from addressing the pressing problems we face here on Earth.

The hunt for another Earth is not about finding paradise but about continuing our journey as a species. When the population of our planet reaches 9 billion, sustainability becomes a significant challenge. An alternative could be a global pandemic reducing the population by half, nature's way of addressing the overcrowding issue.

Stephen Hawking’s argument for the importance of finding another planet underscores the urgency of this quest. However, it is not just about survival; it is also about the concept of evolution. If we could thrive in another environment, it might provide the conditions necessary for our species to evolve further.

Why Can We Not Address Our Own Problems?

The question "Why are we so eager to find extra terrestrial life when we cannot get ourselves together as humans?" highlights a deep-rooted inconsistency in our priorities. Instead of acknowledging and addressing the root causes of our global problems, we focus on the distant possibility of finding a new home.

We turn a blind eye to the street children in third-world nations and even in our own countries. The disparity between our global ambitions and our local efforts is alarming. If we cannot unite and work collectively to solve our own issues, the prospect of a successful expedition to find an alien habitat seems unlikely.

Where Have We Looked for Extraterrestrial Life?

Our search for extraterrestrial life has been limited to our own solar system and beyond. We have not yet explored the first planet in another solar system, which would be a logical starting point for our search. The phrase 'extraterrestrial' means 'not of Earth,' so it makes sense that we should not look for extraterrestrial life on Earth itself.

Our efforts to discover life that is not derived from Earth's genetic pool are ongoing. We must be cautious in interpreting such findings and recognize that extraterrestrial life could be present in forms that are vastly different from what we expect. Finding such life could provide insight into the origins of life on Earth and how it might have evolved.

While we continue to explore space for extraterrestrial life, it is crucial that we address the challenges on our own planet. Failing to do so could lead to unforeseen consequences, including a population imbalance that nature might correct through natural means.
