Yes. Right now my tax dollars are being wasted by encouraging this false belief through selective release of evidence, promoted untruths and wasted time in Congress. It costs me quite a lot actually

    Well, the question was just do you believe in aliens. Not do you believe they are here on this planet and what not. The whole selective release of evidence is part distraction part trying to gain popularity with certain groups to gain votes. And it very much is a waste of money. But it is what politicians do. If it wasn't this it would be something else. So I don't think believing in aliens is really responsible for this massive waste.

    I was asked how the question burdened me. Pondering the unknown, especially as a lay person, is a waste of time. And it is made manifest in our current government. There is science out there that approaches questions of alien life, but I see none of that being discussed here

    I'm not arguing, just curious on your mindset. I totally side with you on how much our government wastes trying to help itself politically instead of helping the people. And I also agree that there is real science out there. I'm just not following on how an individual person believing there are aliens elsewhere in our universe connects to the waste and such.

    Because we should start with an honest discussion about how it actually does impact us. I would argue that individual belief is meaningless and counterproductive as a starting point
