If they ARE watching us, they must be laughing their a$$es off at
us. We have to be the most pompous, bloatedly self-important
clowns in the cosmos!
Here we are, a primitive backwater... the "hillbilly holler" of the
galaxy. And we think that the concerns of all the other races in the
revolve around a tiatanic struggle to win the hearts and minds of
our silly, 5000-year-old civilization, which has had technology for
just 100 short years, and has the minds of most of our species
still operating at an ancient/medieval level, believing in magic
and riddled with superstition (while we happily go about making our
planet uninhabitable by disrupting the global climate and turning
our oceans into a gigantic unflushed toilet with a billion tons of thousand-year plastic debris...)
Yes, they must be laughing hard. VERY hard, I dare say.
Maybe we're a running joke to aliens. Makes more sense than
the insane drivel about "The great mystical UFO conspiracy" having
any grounding in truth...

Well done, you're actually making a bit more sense. Atleast to my eyes
But seriously yes I agree with you that all this obsession about aliens visiting us. while I am open minded to reports of visitations, and believe that aliens exist. I mean why would be the only planet with life in the whole universe? that's just stupid.
Why is it that none have really announced themselves? I think I know why. Do you think they'd really like to engage in communication with a world that is consumed with fighting over which is the so called 'right' religion? or obsessed with harming itself both the people, the animals, the environment, the whole planet in general?
I bet some of these aliens would be highly evolved both technologically and spirituality and probably look down upon the world with disdain. If only they could read this board they would discover that some of us are pretty smart and open minded about things. If they just tuned in to the evening news with their inter galactic electronic vision signal receivers
what would they make of this world? I shudder to think of the answer.
