Scientists at The Lemming Institute for Global Human Trajectories (The LIGHT) predict that the human species is on the precipice of great accomplishments. These Talosians don't know what they're grokking about.

If you enlarge to the max and look to the right of the poser's feet you will spot the Talosian craft streaking through our atmosphere. This is your chance AMPOD! Nuke 'em. Show 'em who the dominant species is. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself and a more intelligent species.
This reminds of an Art Bell open lines a while back. Art Bell can be absolutely hilarious in a very dry humor sort of way. There was some big piece of news regarding UFOs so the question was "What if the aliens aren't here for benevolent purposes?" Art was of a mind that we blast em first, ask questions later. Despite being a typical northern california liberal, I was somewhat inclined to agree!
Is that nutcake still talking about the same stuff? I've gotta listen to him one of these days. I have no idea why I heard him for the first time, but I remember where I lived. For the first two days I actually took him serious. After that we had a fairly long engagement. Maybe 8 months. Not more than once or twice a week, though. I swear.
