Scientist have been bubbling over the new findings of a new Earthlike planet that has been discovered in the Goldilocks in the distance from the sun, which would be favorable for life. They’re calling the planet Gliese 581 G which is the worst name for a planet ever. Those that believe we aren’t alone in this universe are pitching tents over this new discovery, though there remains absolutely no evidence to date that life exists on this planet.
Let’s let our imaginations run wild for a moment. What if life does exist on this planet? What if it’s just like Earth with human beings animals, mountains, rivers, oceans, lakes and the like? If that’s the case, we can only assume they are just as advanced if not more advanced than us here on planet Earth. And if that is the case, that means they too are aware of our existence. Drawing from this assumption, shouldn’t we ask why they haven’t bothered to contact us? I have a few explanations…
They probably live in harmony on Gliese 581 G and they probably have a very different society than we do. I imagine they live life over there to the fullest, free of all the social restraints we have here. They probably have planet wide holidays for gambling, drinkin and carryin on. It’s probably a gambling Utopia over there, what else would that ‘G’ stand for? Over there, gambling is regulated and not recklessly outlawed. There’s no such thing as raids on bingo halls where people are enjoying entertainment. There’s no fear mongering about social evils, because people are free there to do and act as they choose so long as they are not breaking the law. And there, the laws make sense instead of serving some vague ideology.
I imagine since they get more sun over there, all the women are tanned and walk around in bikinis, perhaps clothing is even optional. Every casino offers free drinks, and their sports leagues work together with gambling entities to ensure responsible and safe gaming, because everyone bets on sports so that would actually make sense!
Maybe they have everything all figured out over there and that’s why they don’t bother with us backward folk over here. Maybe they heard about the UIGEA, they heard about our nuclear weapons, they found out about our silly wars, they caught wind of countries with reckless censorship, and they thought, oh hell no!
If we manage to somehow reach this planet which is some 20 light years away, I wonder if as soon as the space shuttle touches down they’ll be yelling, “There goes the neighborhood!”
