Part 9/13:
Shifting gears, the conversation ventures into speculation about artificial intelligence, space exploration, and extraterrestrials. The guest expresses a modest skepticism about alien visitation, suggesting that advanced civilizations would likely have already destroyed or disregarded us due to humanity’s self-destructive tendencies—wars, pollution, environmental degradation.
He humorously considers whether encountering alien technology, like examining a recovered spacecraft or being vetted by the government at Area 51, would be worth risking his life. His open-minded stance remains, however, willing to embrace secrets if the truth benefits mankind, even joking about how much he’d love to see interstellar visitors.
