The academic industrial complex exists to acquire and spend tax revenue on political hobby horses. Environmentalism has been a big one. Critical race and gender theory has been another. I do not foresee ScienceTM caring about extraterrestrial discovery and exploration until those interests align with the blue tribe’s interests. Especially when so much of space exploration is now red coded thanks to Elon Musk and Space Force.
My unsubstantiated theory is that extraterrestrial life exists, and is probably just as inept as we are. I imagine a civilization of E.T.’s shitposting on Alien 4chan and levying random racial slurs over which aliens have more impressive frills or more purple appendages.
