The idea that the world would collapse if secrets were disclosed always sounds hyperbolic to me. I don't buy that organized religion being invalidated would cause mass chaos especially considering the drop in Christianity and people that identify as monotheistic over the years. There are existing examples of developed atheistic countries and we can disagree with whether or not we'd want to live under those governments but that doesn't mean its mass chaos without religion. This makes me wonder if the truth is something that completely conflicts with our understanding of reality. Here are my theories (none of which I believe per say they are just thought experiments) We're in a simulation and UFOs are part of that simulation the way they are included in Sim City. Paranormal things are glitches in the software. There's an established advanced civilization co-existing in secret on earth with us and has always been there. That's all I got. It's just hard to imagine the government being so terrified of coming out and saying "there's some weird things out there that visit us. We don't know exactly what they are all the time but here's what we do know" Would love to hear other theories submitted by /u/fruitopiaflavors [link] [comments]
