I've tried to wrap my head around people's obsession with aliens, and I really don't get it. It strikes me as one of the least compelling possibilities for people to be exploring. Anyone here into this shit that can shed some light on it for the rest of us?

I’m not particularly into it, but imagine learning of some other intelligent life from another planet! What could be more amazing?

I don't see how that information would be relevant to earth or the problems we have on it. It would certainly be interesting to know for sure, but it's not like it's going to solve the world's problems.

The only reason I hope we find aliens is so that we can have thier champion fight Jon jones.

Aside from that I couldn't give a fuck

It seems more interesting than peoples obsession with celebrities, At least if the aliens were advanced they may be able to share technology.

Maybe. It's also possible that like with every other technology we've ever developed we'd just turn it into another weapon.

I think religion is stranger. Have you seen some of the bible stories?
Agreed. Compared to the various religions, believing in little green men flying around in saucers with deely boppers on their heads seems quite normal.

I’m not into aliens because the thought of it freaks me out, but space is really awesome.
Space is pretty awesome, and the exploration of it is awesomer. It's the exploration to find aliens that baffles me. I also think the forests are awesome and that what conversation officers do is hugely important. If a group of people started lobbying for those conservation officers to find sasquatch we'd be like "What in the actual fuck?"

Those damned conversation officers. Using words and sentence structures

Exactly.
I find cryptozoology really interesting but not because I believe any of it. Only because of the absurdity.
