UFO as Global Risk
Alexei Turchin, expert on global catastrophes of Russian Transhumanist Movement

Version 0.910, 5 Jan 2010.

Abstract
In this article are discussed global risks – i.e. risks that could lead to the complete extinction of mankind, – associated with the problem of UFOs. Although the author is on 90 per cent sure that the UFOs are some common phenomena, the remaining 10 percent are forced him to consider these risks seriously. In the paper is suggested almost complete list of possible hypotheses explaining the nature of UFOs, including a number of new hypotheses (crown discharge around human body, ships from other dimensions covered by the shell of liquid metal, alien nanorobots, conspiracy of suppressed unconscious parts of self, parasites-symbionts from unknown forms of matter, bugs and viruses in the Matrix, etc.) and assessed the reliability of each of the hypotheses and the risk that relates to it. I consider several factors of global risk that may be associated with UFO (intelligence, energy, specific form of toxicity, informational effect, global power), based on observational data. The work is intended for a wide range of readers, as well as for anyone interested in existential risks.
This work does not reflect the official position of the Russian Transhumanist Movement, or of any other organization and is only my personal research. Permalink: UFO as Global Risk
 
IMHO, there is no risk until humans are assessed as a threat. Given the exponential technological progression of the last 100 years, the risk may have risen a bit.

Since we haven't been exterminated yet, my best bet is that when the time comes someone will give us a crash course in galactic behavior and space civilization boundaries ;)
 
This is true only if UFOs are rational aliens. If it is mad AI, or ball lightnigs, or souls of dead, or glithches in the Matrix the situation is different.

In my opinion their behavior is not alike of what should be expected from "rational aliens". So or they are not rational, or not aliens.
 
Glitch in the matrix? Since when have we accepted the fictional world of the Wachowskis as our reality?
 
Never. It is just one of possible gypothesis. But check Nick Bostrom Are You Living in a Computer Simulation? where this idea get some scientific basis.

In short, he calculated that the price of computer simulation will be small in the future, so there will be many simulations, aтd so most likely we are alredy in the simulation.
 
Sigh... why do we bother?

The MOMENT you start confusing fictional entertainment for actual, objective reality, you've stepped off the curb.

I can't add anything else. If we had mods, I'd ask them to close the thread. Wait, I'll do it myself.
