In which Rat is asked for directions
Good time of day, humans!
Are you already tired of the news about «potentially hostile alien spacecraft»? Well, you’re not alone, khem, khem.
Transcript:
Alien: — Hello, terrestrials! Whish way to Area 51, please?
Rat: — Oh, so you’re doing business with our government, after all?
Alien: — No, Milky Way forbid! We’re just dropping by to let them know the current psyop falls below the galactic standards of quality.
This mostly happens because articles about «shocked scientists» and «threatening aura» spread much better than «it’s just a lump of dirty ice». But if we continue in this manner, some day we might indeed troll aliens into visiting just to tell us to stop.
Was "Whish" a typo, great mistake if so. I am reading a novel by M C Beaton, and one character can't quite get the right word, close but misses. Like flamingo dancing instead of flamenco. It is hilarious especially when it becomes a pattern of his character.
Until evidence that the dumbing down has bottomed out and reversed, the low-grade psyops remain effective and will continue. Thank you for attention to this matter.
