Why are people still so obsessed with aliens? I think the thrill of speculation keeps these sci-fi legends alive and well within the cultural consciousness. Even if you're not that into conspiracy theories or UFO footage analysis, you probably have some opinion on whether aliens exist. After all, the chance that we're the only intelligent creatures in the world's millions and billions of galaxies is pretty slim. In my humble homosapien opinion, we humans are better than we give ourselves credit for. I doubt that other planets with similarly advanced lifeforms are the utopias we imagine them to be. Sure, the way we set up society isn't always that great, but at least we have basketball and freedom. I bet most aliens don't even get to drink Diet Coke, which sounds like a sad existence. If you believe in aliens and wish to meet one someday, these alien memes exist.
