Extraterrestrial Contact: Fault Lines

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


http://www.firstcontact29.blogspot.com/

I believe that problematic reactions in human society will form along familiar fault lines in the wake of First Contact with an extraterrestrial civilization. However, those fault lines could resonate and grow in new and unexpected directions. In the same way that geologists track changes in the earth’s crust to detect the probability of earthquakes, social scientists, governments and institutions will need to track public perception. Humans will need active and sustained research to inform world leaders and the public at large. Collectively, we will need to hold up a thoughtful mirror to humanity and carefully evaluate how we are reacting to First Contact. Communication and decision-making should follow from a close examination of that human reaction. The danger After First Contact will come in knee-jerk responses and in a failure to predict where things will go next.

What should we be looking for?

-Confusion

-Concerns

-Worries

-Rumors

-Misinformation

-Signs of extremism leading to violence

This monitoring of public perception can lead to a better response by scientists, the media and governments in informing the public of the facts and clearing up confusion. 

The world news media will be especially important partners in this process. They will have to be cautious and deliberate in their response to new information and in the coverage of events After First Contact.  Media outlets will likely be the first organizations confronted with misinformation and rumors. Weeding out the truth will be incredibly important. It will be the work of sober and dedicated journalists working with knowledgeable and trusted scientists.

Ultimately, the monitoring of public perception can inform us of ways to move forward. Many concerns and worries will be quite legitimate. Humanity won’t come up with the answers for how to move forward After First Contact immediately. It will be a process of discussion, debate and revision. That involves listening to the world public- each and every nation, people of many religions and cultural backgrounds. This isn’t a process for the most wealthy of nations, particular blocs of nations or the so-called “free world.” This is a process for all of humanity.

Concerns, worries, rumors, misinformation and confusion can turn into fear if not addressed. Fear can lead to civil unrest. Concerns and worries can also be used by individuals and groups in the promotion of agendas that are ultimately more about retaining and growing power, than the actual concerns or worries.

Humans will be humans.  We will need to listen. We will need to respond.

Have I missed something that we would also need to track After First Contact? Join in the discussion on the Alien First Contact Facebook page.
