at the deepest level of both areas there seems to be a common trend or conclusion. That everything that has happened to us is a result of some small powerful group controlling and pulling the strings behind the scenes and hiding our true history and origin
bare in mind I dont speak for everyone, theres tons of theories and its not 100% black and white but there seems to be a common one associated with alien intervention and the possibility that we are being ruled by a secret alien race
now within the flat earth community (some) have incorporated there own theory on this and tbh its fucking interesting.
alot of flat earthers believe the same idea, that everything is the result of us being controlled but instead of aliens were being controlled and influenced by a highly advanced ancient race of humans.
there isnt a real purpose to this post just something interesting iv noticed
Competent flat earth researchers most all conclude that there are no aliens except in fiction. I have a background in ufology, and can doubly confirm that aliens and the "outer space" they hail from are entirely fictional, and that is their clear and obvious origin.
Ama!
lay it on me fwend, im open to alternative ideas
Cool. It's a LOT to lay on all at once though - and so best broken into smaller sections. Specific questions seeking specific answers are the best way.
In general, the posit that the world is spherical is a mere assumption more than 2 millenia old. Although commonly taught (as it was over 2 millennia ago, until now) as "fact" from childhood, no one has ever validated the assumption in all of human history.
Aliens are a much more modern invention of fiction. The stereotypical "grey" we know and love, for instance, wasn't created until the early 1990's.
In ufology, you learn that the MIC (oss first, in point of fact) has been using "little green men" and the intentional and publicized conflation with them exclusively for silencing/discrediting/slandering (researchers, scientists, reporters - you name it) for 70+ years. The reason that strategy is effective, is because people know innately and acutely how stupid and fictional "aliens" are. There has been a mass advertised effort to change this, through fiction/media, for the purposes of psychological warfare and encouraging alien worship (seen in virtually all ufology circles to some extent - positively a religious cult)
Ama!
the thing iv personally noticed is that aliens have become the atheists god in a sense. what bugs me about it is that all of our depictions of aliens are too similar to us. if we go by what mainstream science says its very unlikely that they would even come close to a resemblance of us or any creature from this planet for the matter. an upper and lower torso with 2 appendages at each end connected to a spinal column leading to a cranium that has 2 eyes 2 ears and mouth. <- thats an earth thing, other creatures from other planets would be completely different.
if aliens evolved to have those traits it must mean that there is some form of intelligent design ensuring that this structure is formed. (im just kinda thinking out loud at this point)
Spot on. They are a big part of the mythology of scientism.
Also spot on. It's always a humanoid. It's cheaper that way (you must consider production costs!)
A completely reasonable assertion, assuming that "evolution" exists (it doesn't) and is the cause of the creation of life (it isn't).
