The Fatal Price of Extraterrestrial Assistance | Emerging Worlds

Added: 2026-05-11

[00:00:00]If they land [music] on the White House lawn, why aren't they landing in every capital of the world? What we want, what's good for us are not the same. You let them take residence. I'm not talking about you're here for an hour. The saving races will arrived, have already arrived. [music] You know, don't want to be a junkie. Stay off the streets. I know that's a big disappointment for people, [music] but that's [clears throat] the truth.

[00:00:21]Any race that comes here comes here for their own reasons. [music] Never think that races have who travel around have overcome all the needs of life. the norm.

[00:00:30]>> The thing is a a visiting race can't do anything for us. Well, we'd have to respect all the rules we [music] establish for contact.

[00:00:39]>> If you want to be a sovereign race [music] and have any hope becoming powerful in the universe or independent, we have to work it out.

[00:00:51]>> What would beneficial contact [music] look like?

[00:00:54]>> I think beneficial contact would not involve direct engagement. [music] or visitation because humanity is not ready for that because there's direct contact then what nation gets the direct contact and what nation doesn't get the direct contact you see if they land on the white house lawn why aren't they landing in every capital of the world with the same message that could happen but in in in either in that case people are not ready to deal with what this could mean humanity is just not ready and we have to talk about this collective ly now, not just, well, I'm ready. Well, that's fine. Maybe you are, maybe you aren't. If you knew what this really was, maybe you aren't. But to be given information that could help us navigate the reality of contact that we're experiencing today would be helpful or could be if it [clears throat] was based, you know, it was re logical and based on our best interests.

[00:01:55]You know, you want you want to receive benefit, but you don't want to be taken over.

[00:02:00]You don't want to be overly influenced.

[00:02:03]You don't want to be controlled. You don't want to be undermined, but you need help.

[00:02:11]So, I think what we have to do now is is see that what we want and what's good [clears throat] for us are not the same.

[00:02:23]And why that is okay? [clears throat] We need information. We need wisdom.

[00:02:31]Give us wisdom from the universe. Other races have been through this before.

[00:02:36]They've been through our stage of evolution which is a very kind of chaotic stage where you're going through a lot of breakdown and confusion and you have to go through a whole realignment. the end of that if you can if you can survive that to become more united and [clears throat] determined and wise.

[00:02:56]So contact can't be what we want to be.

[00:03:00]We're not special in the universe.

[00:03:02]We're not the center of the universe.

[00:03:05]We're a young emerging race that's very conflicted, violent, and is destroying a planet of value. That's going to invite intervention, not beneficial contact.

[00:03:16]It's never going to happen on our terms.

[00:03:20]So, this [clears throat] is we're dealing with reality now. And reality of the universe is what it is, not what we want it to be or hope it to be. No greener pastures out there. In fact, it's probably harder out there than it is here.

[00:03:35]The universe is a big, empty, cold, ruthless environment. Very hard to survive in it. Particularly if you have to travel in it. So [clears throat] never think that races have who travel around have overcome all the needs of life unless they're machines but even they require energy and utility just to maintain them. So this is a great equalizer out there. You can only take technology so far. You can only control things so far. But you're still a race if you're biological that has to survive because you're living in nature. And you can't fully overcome that.

[00:04:14]We're learning today we can't fully overcome nature.

[00:04:17]Nature can undermine us very quickly.

[00:04:21]Heat up the planet, destroy your crops, dry up your rivers. That's what's happening.

[00:04:28]You can live in splendor. You can live in isolation. You can live in air conditioned environments. They seem to be completely cut off from the environment around you. But the environment around you will determine your future and well-being.

[00:04:43]And we will learn that harsh but great lesson. It's just a basic lesson of life.

[00:04:49][clears throat] >> Yeah. Great. I'm wondering if you can convey this key idea, right? Which is like beneficial contact engages with us on our terms without exceptions as a planet hosting visitation.

[00:05:02]>> Okay.

[00:05:02]>> And like >> any contact that undermines us through like beneficial contact would not undermine us through secrecy in this.

[00:05:08]The problem with that is who gets the contact.

[00:05:11]>> Yeah. Totally. Totally.

[00:05:13]>> So in a way, yes, it sounds reasonable, [clears throat] but who's the beneficial who amongst humanity is the beneficiary of that contact?

[00:05:21]>> Totally.

[00:05:22]>> No, no beneficial race is going to do that because it amplifies human conflict.

[00:05:30]See, sorry. You can't, you know, change is giving you candy. You can't take it.

[00:05:37]Yeah. No, I I I see I I think just to just to re I'm trying to reenter to the to this segment, which is >> Okay. Well, you could say if if we're at a place where beneficial contact could happen or would be beneficial not just to one part of humanity, [clears throat] what would it look like?

[00:05:57]>> Yeah.

[00:05:58]>> Okay. Mhm.

[00:05:58]>> It would engage on our terms without accept like >> it's like >> basically the the key thing about this segment is beneficial contact would not undermine our self-determination.

[00:06:10]>> Well, we'd have to respect all of the rules we establish for contact.

[00:06:15]Otherwise, that's a hope.

[00:06:18]Only future would determine that.

[00:06:20][clears throat] No, you you've got to actually really control the whole engagement from the very beginning.

[00:06:28]No exceptions.

[00:06:31]Oh, sure. You go live in the ocean.

[00:06:32]That's fine. Not a problem for us.

[00:06:35]No way, man.

[00:06:38]Some people would think that, but they don't realize the hazard.

[00:06:42][clears throat] The hazard is huge.

[00:06:47]>> Misperceiving this, the hazard is huge.

[00:06:56]>> Yeah. Yeah. It's almost like I think there's a potential where humanity places itself as a almost immediate subservient.

[00:07:05]>> Oh, absolutely. We're at the low end of this.

[00:07:07]>> We don't have any control.

[00:07:08]>> We're the needy race and you're the powerful race. What happens then?

[00:07:12]Powerful race, no matter how diplomatic they are, uh is the dominating force and it will dominate over time.

[00:07:22]Can't get around it. It's nature.

[00:07:25]>> Yeah. Yeah, we talked about how humanity isn't ready for contact. So even in the face of beneficial contact, we would have a lot of trouble at this time being able to receive that.

[00:07:35]>> You you you can't it won't work. And if it's maintained, then you're allowing other race basically to take residency in your world and you don't really know who they are. And you don't really know what's driving them. What's their need?

[00:07:49][clears throat] I mean if you get that all space travel except for except for diplom diplomatic space travel or contact between nations who in contact with is is search for resources. That's the only reason a race would come here.

[00:08:08]>> How do we know that they're not diplomatic forces that are here? So, so as a devil's advocate, if I'm if I'm a a, you know, relatively neutral uh party out there and I am looking to establish diplomatic relations with a with a planet and and the species on it that isn't as developed as I am, but I'm trying to And >> so, what's your intention?

[00:08:39]>> That's that's an that's a point of contact, but what's your intention?

[00:08:44]We can have this conversation. I mean, it's as [clears throat] saying if somebody I want to come in and stay in your home, a stranger, would you let them do that?

[00:08:57]>> Right?

[00:08:58]>> I mean, they could persuade you. Either they're very needy or they're very powerful. Those are two forms of persuasion.

[00:09:04]In this case, very, very powerful. Oh, I I can give you lots of I can help you. I can you let them take residence. I'm not talking about you're here for an hour, you're moving in.

[00:09:18]>> Well, the problem I see is that even at the door, I would not be able to tell whether they're a friend or a foe, >> right? So, you would you would say no.

[00:09:27]You can write to me and say what what you why you would want to you would not you probably would not let them enter if you were smart because once they enter, it's damn hard to get rid of them.

[00:09:43]you're taking big risks. I mean, if you take a homeless person your world in your home for dinner to say if you that's okay if that's the limitation, but their needs are not really met and they still come present to you as very needy. How else can you help me? Well, that's ongoing.

[00:10:03]See what I'm saying?

[00:10:05]So uh any race that comes here comes here for their own reasons >> because it takes a lot of investment to get here.

[00:10:18]>> It takes a lot of investment to invest themselves here.

[00:10:24]I'm not talking about a point of contact. I'm talking about what happens afterwards. Where does that contact become? What does it become?

[00:10:31]>> Right? And when we look at the presence of craft in our skies, at least reported for the last 75 years or 85 90 years, [clears throat] >> it seems like it has been.

[00:10:41]>> That's residency.

[00:10:43]>> They've taken up residency in our world without our permission, without declaring who they are, what they're doing, and what their goals are. That's unacceptable.

[00:10:54]>> And someone might say, well, they remain hidden because because we're not ready for open contact. But you still don't intervene if if the other if your host is not ready. That's just taking advantage of their condition or we don't reveal ourselves because your government wouldn't allow us. It's a false narrative. I mean there they could present themselves to us whether our government accepted it or not.

[00:11:21]Why? What are you doing here?

[00:11:24]80 years is not visitation. It is habitation.

[00:11:28]And it can only have one purpose.

[00:11:30]They're not uplifting us. They can say they're saving us, but really they've never done anything to save us. They've never done anything to help us.

[00:11:39]So, how could we tell apart a truly beneficial contact experience and one that is not beneficial? Even though it might, >> you may not be able to at the outset.

[00:12:01]But behavior denotes intent.

[00:12:03]So you have to know their behavior to know the intent really.

[00:12:08]If they're forceful like they're already they're already setting up in your world and they want to make contact with you. That's too late.

[00:12:16]Oh, I'll meet you on the moon. We'll have a conference on the moon. By that point, we'd be able to go to the moon easily.

[00:12:26]No one should be here under our current circumstances, under any circumstance.

[00:12:31]I know that's a big uh disappointment for people, but that's [clears throat] the truth. We're making our we're inviting intervention.

[00:12:41]We're not resisting it. And when it comes, we don't resist it. We don't want to know about it.

[00:12:48]And when the Vikings landed in Labrador, I think it was Labrador, they the natives once they found out, they attacked them immediately and relentlessly.

[00:12:57]And finally Vikings couldn't defend themselves and had to leave.

[00:13:01]>> Of course, now we know that the Vikings, you know, were obviously explorers. They were relatively, you know, violent.

[00:13:07]Although violence was the norm. The thing is a a visiting race can't do anything for us but they give us free technology that'll turn into weapons. What could a visiting race do for us?

[00:13:25]Think about it. Give us technology that would not be a good idea.

[00:13:31][clears throat] It would get in the wrong hands be used for the wrong purposes. Absolutely.

[00:13:39]I think a beneficial race would not do that because we're not ready for it and nothing good could come from it either for them or us.

[00:13:50]>> That answers that question.

[00:13:54]>> People still want a handout, but a handout is comes with a great price.

[00:14:01]Here, take this shot. You'll feel better.

[00:14:09]Just poke it in your arm. You'll feel better right away.

[00:14:13]It's like magic.

[00:14:19]There's no beneficial race going to do that. They're not going to intervene and they shouldn't.

[00:14:26]It's for us to work it out. If you're going to give sovereignty, we have to work it out. If you want to be a sovereign race and have any hope becoming powerful in the universe or independent, we have to work it out.

[00:14:38][clears throat] Nothing from yawn is going to help us.

[00:14:41]It's only going to interfere and probably even make our situation worse.

[00:14:50]>> And a beneficial race would know that.

[00:14:52]>> Of course, you do not interfere not because it's a good principle, but because it has no benefit. It does no good. In fact, it makes things worse. So now the aliens show up in the Kremlin but not here. How would we feel about it, right?

[00:15:09]>> Or they show up everywhere and yet it [clears throat] would still mean they have to take over.

[00:15:12]>> Yeah, they're here to take over.

[00:15:17]You the Americans have never been conquered by another country, so they don't get to take over things harder for them. Going to a colonized country and it's like of course because that's what history has demonstrated.

[00:15:29]Well, Native Americans would certainly agree with that.

[00:15:35]>> So, you have to take it beyond the first step. The first step looks, oh, wonderful, we have be what purpose.

[00:15:45]They can't help us. They can't give us things >> without undermining us >> or without making your situation worse.

[00:15:56]If he gave us a tool to produce food, we'd fight over it.

[00:16:03]Even if they gave it to every country, we still fight over it.

[00:16:09]That doesn't change anything on Earth.

[00:16:13]And then they have to keep giving it to us. See what I mean? Now they become a sustaining force for humanity, right?

[00:16:23]>> Dependence.

[00:16:24]>> Yeah. Dependence. We don't become we don't unite and we don't become powerful. The only way to be powerful is to unite. Not as one country or one but in a sense that we're all in this together. If [clears throat] we don't unite, we all fail. That's this is kind of this is nature.

[00:16:42]Circle the wagons. You know, that's why there's great networks of trade out there. None of those nations can stand alone in the universe if they're wealthy and have advanced technology.

[00:16:52]not in a highly inhabited part of the universe. There's the same dynamic there.

[00:16:59]So, we're not we're not p rich and powerful in that way. So, you know, we're just we have an existential crisis here on Earth and that's what we're going to have to deal with.

[00:17:11]And um I'm telling you, the prognosis for humanity in this century is like I would never say it online. I would never even say it publicly.

[00:17:23]the die off will be huge and at that point nobody's got excess food.

[00:17:34]I mean the food the first blust wouldn't be there and of course it' be war and violence. I mean it just usually it's it's the five horses of the apocalypse, four horses apocalypse.

[00:17:48]Instead of famine it's resource depletion.

[00:17:52]No water.

[00:18:05]So that's why we can't we can't go down these I mean I I know I'm going to sound like the spoiler, but I mean you just can't go down these roads. Oh, we could just meet them. It'd be great.

[00:18:16][clears throat] For what purpose? What's the outcome? Oh, we'll continue meeting them. For what purpose? What's the outcome?

[00:18:23]There's always a purpose and an outcome.

[00:18:26]What's their purpose? Why would they engage with us? We have nothing to offer them except the world.

[00:18:34]And if they're beneficial, they know that it would be inappropriate to engage.

[00:18:38]We're not ready for that. We haven't achieved stasis and unity enough to be able to do that. And if we're a welfare world, you know, come help save us.

[00:18:49]Sure.

[00:18:53]The saving races will arrive have already arrived.

[00:18:59]So we're that's that's the name of the game in my view. If you if you try to make compromises with it, you will pay for it.

[00:19:10]They've got their act together. We don't.

[00:19:18]They understand us. We don't understand them. That's not a point of contact.

[00:19:27]A good point of contact.

[00:19:29]I mean, even if that could happen in the future, you know, they would have to share us about them. They'd have to send us information about them, why they would come.

[00:19:38]um if this is is this a one-time visit or they want to establish diplomatic relations with us, we'd [clears throat] have to be united society to do that without it further fracturing us.

[00:19:50]So that's that's that's it.

[00:19:57]You know, don't want to be a junkie, stay off the streets.

[00:20:01][music] >> [music]
