Accordingly, the aforementioned study asserted what might be termed “truth decay”, as
increasingly the erosion of reliance on facts, evidence, critical thinking, and insistence upon well-
defended points of view. Instead, fiction over facts pervades the social nexus and mainstream
claims of believability. Emotional reactivity in the maladaptive tendencies to safeguard subjective
validation with constant appeals to fallacies of inference. This of course lends facetious credence
to hasty generalizations bordering on ethnic, racial, sexual and political divisiveness.2
Hence, the metaphorical assertion of the “secret alien agenda”. It is satirical and meant to poke
fun at stupidity, selfishness and condescending self-interests. Not only that, but also the self-
centered and egoistic arrogance that strains the boundaries of believability. Nonetheless, specious
conjecture and nebulous notions, absent the evidence, are widely accepted. In addition, coupled
with an ignorance of historical events, idiocy raises dangerous potentialities. Simplistic trouble
freethinking degrades the probability of meaningful discourse.
Unfortunately, most people are not history buffs, nor do most learn from significant historical
crises. As such, human nature suggests not much changes and people do not change very much
over time. As to evil, this is simply the illicit, unlawful and mean-spirited inflictions some people
do to other people. Again, the reflection is that of egregious selfishness by way of intentional stupid
behavior. Stupid refers also to lazy thinking or a lack of critical thinking from a constructive
standpoint and professes empathy for others, and promotion of the greater good.
For that vileness, by neither gratitude or reverence, perseverance or progress, great numbers of
people claim the entitlement of selfishness. To this, the echo, the reflection of mirrored conception,
decries the very essence of self-evolving ascension. Failing to climb to higher levels or loftier
peaks of neural instigation, the death of willfulness covers a grave from which the dead rise up
stupider than before. Conflict with constant raging storms of ignorance flood the institutions from
one ship of commerce to another port of academia. Foolishness undermines reality.
Stupidity also represents other descriptors whereby people in general perpetrate the safe,
comfortable and detached mediocrity of foolish behaviors. Some might claim there is a social loss
of something called common sense, or a lack thereof. Used here, the term is applied to illustrate
the poignancy of how such willful behaviors adversely affect social culture. Absurd, inane and
foolhardy conjecture, whether by the news media or politicians, hastens human devolution.

Aside from the terminology employed to describe the devolving state of the human species,
“aliens” are involved to illustrate the ongoing state of irresponsibility. Blaming others, things,
entities, gadgets, unknown forces, unscientific “diagnoses”, cell phones, the internet, etc., one can
evade accountability. Acting stupid and finding convenient excuses for ignorance, or someone
else’s fault, including criminality, avoids the liability of personal responsibility.
The factional, sectarian, and “alienation” of the population continues to escalate into a myriad
of mucking about with all manner of simplistic conjecture. Of course, to digress, the act of mucking
applies in several ways. For example, if a person ever worked at a horse riding stable, or on a farm,
the act of mucking concerns the removal of manure or other wastes from an animal’s stall. Such
is a specific aspect of removing something dirty or of no use from the surroundings.
To stretch the word usage a little further, if social media, political campaigning or news
reporting were viewed as “muck”, then perhaps shoveling out the “verbal excrement” would be
appropriate. Informal British application refers to something of no value or no use. Regardless, the
illustration is toward a burgeoning state of negative and condescending behavior. Much of the
interactivity devolves to a conflicting state of affairs. It is one in which nearly every act or verbal
exchange is potentially viewed as offensive to someone or some group.
To avoid upsetting the childish tendencies, or non-self-evolving emotionalism, pretentious
claims of civility likewise encourage a dumbing down of annalistic thinking processes. The
perpetration of comfortable ignorance does nothing to advance the human species, yet fosters the
safe mediocrity of fiction over fact. Contemporary fallacies of inference, degenerating into hasty
generalizations, hastens the decay of rational well-reasoned search for authenticity.
Contemporary “fables, fictions, and fairytales” persist in spreading an array of fictional stories
projecting individual and group interpersonal inadequacies. In the post-modern era, while some
still blame demon possession for the bad things people do, others find a variety of scapegoats such
as alien conspiracies. To sanctify and otherwise justify an assortment of mitigations, space aliens
become the perpetrators behind the scenes plotting global domination. One online “alternate news”
source cites a researcher’s claim that the U.S. government made a special agreement with a certain
group of aliens. According to the source in question, that arrangement allowed the aliens to conduct
experiments on humans. In reference to that assertion, the metaphorical insinuation resulted in the
overall concept of “the secret alien agenda and the stupidity virus”.3

From a perhaps more sinister viewpoint, depending on your conjecture, an observation has
repeatedly asserted the collusion between mass media and mass marketing. Sales, advertising, and
consumption-oriented promotions are relentless. As alleged news media sources are owned by
major corporate entities, so are the companies that sell products. Large multinational businesses,
with foreign investment as well, promote and otherwise flood the means of telecommunications
with incessant barking to buy, sell, ingest, consume, and “cannibalize” materials goods.5
While not every business, corporate, or commercial enterprise should be seen as “evil”, with
sinister collusion among “galactic alien” forces, a majority may be observed as dangerously self-
serving. Some of which, is not for the greater good or of significant utilitarian value. Of the
networks of wealthy, elite and politically connected, a small portion of the population hierarchy
control the majority of material resources. This also includes the potent influence upon individual
and group decision-making. Where people refuse to self-evolve, stupidity becomes easy.
Again, “galactic alien” conspiracy is a metaphorical adaption of intentional and voluntary
dumbing down of the populace, whereby less honorable people can control them. It’s all
illusionary to poke fun at “anti-thinking” infused with emotional reactivity. For the lazy, indecisive
and those prone to magical thinking, especially the uncreative and marginal thinkers, the tyranny
of power, control and domination is not difficult to achieve. A studied glance at most politicians
and a broad based assumption can be made of the widespread societal idiocy.
As such, the “alien stupidity” virus increasingly passes from one self-aggrandizing political
ideologue to the next. In the age of the selfie, the narcissistic reflection, through the looking glass
of conceit, appropriately echoes the foolish arrogance of modern politicians. A number of
mythological characters could serve as appropriate archetypes. Furthermore, the not so hidden
agenda contained herein is that there are no excuses for stupid, inept, incompetent and otherwise
idiot behavior. The actualization of free will does away with defense and mitigations to the
contrary. People are purposeful, deceitful, and intentional in their antics.
Deterministic illusions, espoused by some schools of thought within the realms of the “social
studies”, serve as excusatory alibis for willful mitigations. As such the alien stupidity virus is a
good cover story to explain away the illicit and illegal perpetrations of selfish counter-social
afflictions. In a culture where any “psycho-diagnosis” will do, anything is justifiable. Simplistic
notions projecting specious conjectures easily explains mysterious complexities.

In grips of the stupidity virus, after a brief incubation time following the transmittal of the
pathogen, emotional reactivity and dismissive condescension replace reason and rationality. Facts
are replaced by the overwhelming reliance on feelings instead of hardcore evidentiary
substantiation. From a macabre perspective, perhaps cynical consideration, maladaptive thinking
at a primeval level is probably good for a rapaciously out of control consumer culture. For the
many who are not prone to in-depth critical analysis, prefer simplistic thinking and immediate
gratification, limited perspectives are more compatible with complacency.
According to some commentary on contemporary social issues, the environment in western
societies depicts the illusion that hope springs eternal for utopic ascension. A diverse range of
conditions demonstrates to the contrary and suggests a devolution of the human species.
Accusations address issues related to the state of education, as well as political processes, in which
it appears people are increasingly deficient in areas of critical thinking. Allegedly, a few
researchers are inclined to infer that the population in general exhibits a kind of “mindlessness”
that makes social problem solving more difficult. The stupidity virus is spreading.6
With a “zombified” population, socio-political and economic interactivity grows more and
more difficult and contentious in terms of advancing the human species. Currently, across the
broad spectrum of the mainstream, the stupidity factor reflects tense and temperamental over-
reaction to the slightest hint of disagreement. Confrontations culminate in tense close encounters
every kind in which violence may erupt to ensure someone’s immediate gratification.
Any reference to “close encounters of the third kind”, as historically suggested in science fiction
movie genre, is a passing reference to divisive condescension infecting social media. So often, the
philosophical battles enter the picture that eventually fatigue good intentions to the contrary. A
few get weary in the never-ending process of wondering if there is such a thing as common sense.
As such, to exercise a profound sense of selflessness in devotion to mature and enlightened
perspective demands the due diligence of hard work.
Matureness, growing up, acting like an adult who accepts the accountability of responsibility,
invokes a special kind of courage. Unfortunately, quickly gratifying the whims of juvenile
narcissism, and insisting upon the superficiality of subjective validation, gets in the way of being
an authentic individual. To seize daring opportunities to transform and be a better version than the
original imperfection requires exceptional valor, as well as lifelong commitment.
