So, the takeaway of the latest Spotlight titled "Nothing in Life is Free" is that the good ETs can only help humanity if humanity changes first. The means to get there is a crisis that functions as a catalyst for the change.

Let's put aside that this "problem-reaction-solution" strategy is what bad people use as well. Let's say the so-called good ETs have good intentions. But you know me – I have a question:

Why do they tell us that we need to change without telling us what our wrong behavior actually is?

Let's assume there's a good reason for not telling us.

So, let's look at the wilderness – the crisis.

While we don't know what the so-called good ETs think our wrong behavior is, we do know one thing: The crisis will bring the possibility of change.

So, what actually is the crisis then?

It can't be just another war. This planet knows war too well. People are already accustomed to it.

Can it be the threat of extinction? I don't think so. Just look at the cold war between the U.S. and Soviet Russia. The bad guys know how to make use of fear-mongering to strengthen the system.

No, it must be something that weakens the grip of the bad guys.

An opportunity.

So, the logical question is: What does humanity want, but fear to ask for while the prison is still running?

Can a whole civilization even answer this question? Or is it something that each individual has to answer for themselves...

What do you want?
