Aliens: “We have the cure for cancer.”
Humans: “Great! What is it?”
Aliens: “Just stop your cells from reproducing. That creates translation errors which can result in run-away mitosis and mutation.”
Humans: “Uh… okay, but if we’re not using cells, what should we use to form our bodies instead?”
Aliens: “Sandstone is good. Marble is better.”
Humans: “Okay, we’ll give it a shot.”
3000 years of Egyptians and Greeks perfecting the sculpture later…
Humans: “Nope. Still got cancer.”

Erich von Däniken just passed away the other day. I miss the days I could appreciate a good conspiracy theory. Living through Covid destroyed any enjoyment I got from that.

And not only that, they systematically undermined people’s trust in authorities with this by letting it become such a huge industry. If you think the government is lying to you about aliens it’s a lot easier to think they’re lying about vaccines and face masks.
