Anyone ever sometimes think, that there's an alien species that kinda feels a little paternal towards us and keeps fixing out Tonka Toys because it makes us happy?
This is disrespectful towards the achievements of the human race. My father kept attributing all of our recent technology to "the findings at roswell" and i have very strong feelings towards this position.
So much agreeance. I can see how people may be awestruck by recent technology, but crediting it to extraterrestrial life both completely ignores the gradual progression of knowledge which enabled it and disregards the brilliant minds who spent their lives bringing it to fruition.
