I thought about this a while, if we are in a prison planet there must be a reason that the extraterestials need us for something. Is it our thoughts? (Like the matrix) That's the closest guess I can make since we produce thoughts on a regular basis. Remote viewing is basically a science of thought so it clicks a bit my reasoning. What do you guys think?
If I dare to think further, if we figured out what it is that the E.T.'s want from us, could we start trading?

Could be "Loosh", see this thread for more details:

But a prison doesn't necessarily mean that the prisoners are "harvested" for something, at least it's not the primary purpose of a prison. Maybe they just don't want us out there because our freedom (free thinking etc.) is the archenemy of an authoritarian mindset. Freedom is chaos in their view, because it questions authoritarianism.

I think Earth is a "simple" prison, but it is run by "vampires" who get some energy out of it (like a contractor).

Our attention...
many spiritual practices talk about this, it's like a sacred fundamental that speaks about one's focusing energy primordial energy, prana (source of life), Chi in china or Qi in the Japan - the dantian or mula banda, the sacred fire within, it is the separation between the body and the holographic construct that our brain creates, one focused is attention / focus / concentration other manipulates life force in the material world, the hologram or simulation.
It is a spectrum of the markabba, the divine triangule that many shamanic practicioners talk about, the kaballah also, the sacred triangule the 3 6 9 - thoughts, emotion, action.
Attention determines the focus energy point within the matrix, wich also in a collective reality influences the trajectory of the majority, in this case world.
If opressive ET's have an agenda, that would likely be by manipulating the collective attention span so then to create a preferable reality that's mpre in alignment with the opressive agenda.
by influencing with mind programs, through every resource available.
When we as a collective grab our own attention, not letting be highjacked by the narratives and the knowledge of what they are putting out we can then start to be responsible by our own evolution, then we can start to create and manifest preferable realities that serves our porpuse and allows us room for spiritual growth.
