Here's some info on it. ( the entire report is 400+ pages )
It pretty much stated that if mankind would discover alien life or at least evidence of it, it would destroy human society, especially in religious, economic and scientific areas.
Which is
exactly what would happen. It would be chaos on a global scale of biblical proportions. The Human race can't even get along with itself yet, you really think we're ready to meet a race of beings that actually are superior to us?
Don't get me wrong, I want to see alien life as much as you, but this planet isn't ready for it.
Considering the fact that we got sci-fi movies depicting man working and living with aliens, from Star Trek to Star Wars to Star-Gate, I think people can accept it more.
Plus this is my opinion here....if mankind goes and destroys itself cause it can not handle the idea that we are not the superior species, that we are not the gods we think we are, that scientists are not the pompus snobs they thought they were and not able to handle their mistakes, and that the religious community and the people who are in charge of the world's wealth might loose their power, than mankind
deserves to wipe itself out. Cause I think we as a species, to quote Picard from that first borg episode, "what we needed was a good kick in our complacentcy."
And guess what? Many other countries, such as France, Italy, Germany and especially Japan, are very open to these things and are making any and all info on UFO's and possable evidence regarding the existence of other life out in space avaible for the public to look at. Not everyone follows the compartmentalize mentality we yankies follow.
And look at it this way, with the religious, economic and scientific communities pretty much not on the same rung as they are now would be a good thing, cause they have been holding man from advancing for way too long. I wanna know there's more to life than just taxes and a 6 foot hole in the ground.
Besides, if an alien invasion was to happen, I'd sure wanna be informed about it and not seeing the next morning a bunch of squigly, slimy things pointing a weapon in my face when I wake up in the morning, or finding myself with an alien butt-plug up my ass.
So personally, the only use for the brookings report is just to keep the short leg of my breakfast table level. Or for toilet paper.
