Bound by culturally established and naturally evolved laws, the human mind can’t escape its continuous trajectory towards homeostasis with the world, in order to make sense out of chaos, regardless of the fact that many will never achieve such homeostasis due to life’s continues obstacles.
A few premises and assumptions:
Aliens are real. (Some) Aliens possess advanced knowledge of the world. (Some) Aliens understand what consciousness is. (Some) Aliens know with high probability, if not definitive proof, what comes after (human) death.
The obvious need to accept the aforementioned assumptions as temporarily real, in order to proceed, shouldn’t be repelling. Instead, it should be recognized and acknowledged that whatever may ultimately be true with regard to the question of if we’re being actively visited right now by advanced Aliens, bears no meaning in the greater context of another thought:
It’d be far stranger to learn that we’re all on our own out there.
Regardless of if we’re alone or not, and regardless of if UAP’s can be equated with ET/NHI, all of these discussions around this topic will inevitably have prepared at least some of us, even if only so much, for a possible future event of an official first contact, which, of course, will logically serve as a reference point for at least future generations in case it remains sealed for us. Besides that, I want to have mentioned that I do sympathize with cautious approaches with respect to speculation, as speculation ultimately serves as the breeding ground for a lot of bad things.
Handle appropriately:
Learning about aliens being real may come with a lot of baggage. All the more so if aliens not only exist as a faraway signal but maybe as readily available individuals in person.
It’s one thing to assume a thing to be real; it’s a completely different animal to know something is real. And indescribable to be able to shake hands.
As per my premises/assumptions:
The mere state of knowing what may come after death, which could/would be a logical consequence of contact with the above-mentioned profile (of Aliens), could shred any drive of solving the chaos of an ever-evolving world.
Hereby, it is important to say that neither death as an entrance point into something better, nor death as the ultimate end, would change something about it.
Knowing what comes afterwards would have devastating effects, as, simply put, this reality would (at least temporarily) lose its meaning.
Think of Heaven’s Gate on steroids, only for this time to be based upon facts.
Besides obvious arguments against transparency with respect to the perspective of those who are against it (like, and because, for example, hunger for power and concerns about societal upheaval, imminent invasion, infiltration, or ongoing incursions), the only idea imaginable, from a strictly moral perspective to me, resides somewhere along these aforementioned thoughts.
This, of course, would be all the more problematic, if we’re destined per design, to achieve full knowledge about our fate anyway (due to natural evolution of our species). And in addition to that, it’d be also dire to entertain the possibility that we’re presumably literally surrounded by civilizations and endless forms of intelligent life, with knowledge about what all of this is about, as per this and the aforementioned paragraphs it’d equate to something like a ticking, philosophical time-bomb with the inevitable outcome of explosion.
The ultimate ‘Great Filter’.
Sure, we could re-, or for that matter, rather actually for the first time learn how precious this life and this reality truly is, and therefore start to embrace all its beauty. But we do not know which of the two options, with respect to what comes afterwards, is true.
And as it is one thing to assume advanced Aliens to have advanced knowledge about the world (and thereby, at least more sophisticated knowledge about death), it remains a completely different matter to assume that we’d realize, accept and practice ‘Beauty’, in case death is the end, or ‘Patience’ as an all-encompassing universal virtue, in case something awaits us, in a timely manner before we’d start to dance with bananas and feces in our hands. Let alone the possibility that death is only the beginning of endless suffering, but let’s just exclude this for a moment, as it’s just too dark for today.
For this summarized reason alone, I could imagine you’d be willing to do everything possible to delay as much as you can.
Not because ‘Nature’ isn’t an innate, human-right, but because sometimes some things are just way too much, and although not inevitable, better to be left alone until a next time.
The idea crosses my mind, that in order to even stand a chance of adapting timely to the realistic possibility of finding definitive answers to death (as a subsequent consequence of official 1st contact with ET/NHI), you’d need to establish a new, global quasi-religion whose objectives are:
The inclusion of ‘Others’ as a normal occurrence. ‘Scientific Understanding of the World’ as a practical guideline, and ‘Fraternity’ as the most important moral value above all else and throughout all the vastness of space, across all borders, colors, genders, and every single instance of diversity.
Pitfalls are where innovation is born; I’m not perfect, and so is no one else. And if nothing will have happened with regard to the last couple of years of build-up with respect to the assumption that (some) UAP’s are connected to ET/NHI, I want to have said that nothing’s ever really pointless unless our whole existence is.
Godspeed, and best regards
TLDR: Besides the usual suspects (such as pure greed or arguably justified fear of an imminent event), a possible explanation for why we’re not told that UAP’s = ET/NHI could lie within the assumption that ‘they’ (= ET/NHI) know what comes after life, as knowing what comes next could shred our world into pieces if we’re not prepared sufficiently enough for such (potentially very dangerous) knowledge.
That is, if they exist and death is real…
