Hasn’t the world been collapsing forever? History has so many great civilizations and empires that are nothing but dust now. We are all lucky to be living in the best of times. Yes, there are problems worldwide, but do not let them dishearten and defeat us. So many people are working hard everyday to make this world even better.
Speaking of collapse, check out Jared Diamond’s book of that name, which details what happened to half a dozen earlier cultures that ignored the warning signs piling up all around them.
Alien space ship co-pilot: there’s earth again. Second time this decade.
Pilot: Yep. Anything changed?
C-P: I dunno for sure. There’ s a new guy running the White House, but I can’t get much accurate info on him. We picked up a human and asked but he was tough. Refused to answer.
P: Well, did you try ‘persuasion?’
C-P: Oh yeah. First we played some of their music but his ears started to bleed, so we tried something else.
P: And . . .?
C-P: We picked a bunch of something called ‘Tweets’ by the new guy and played a bunch to see if he could tell what it all meant.
P: Did that help?
C-P: Er . . . um . . . not exactly.
P: What do you mean?
C-P: He listened to about a half hour of the stuff, then went complete screwy – screamed for us to ‘space’ him. Said he couldn’t take anymore. Had to pull him off the porthole.
P: Tell you what. Head for the moon, then take a right. Gotta be some better place that makes sense.

And ancient astronaut theorists were wondering what’s taking them so long to take over the world.

Laziest aliens ever — they should take a lesson from “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” (Twilight Zone) and hasten the process.
