#32I propose we use Cardi B, Beyoncé, Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift to keep hostile aliens away from earth.
On Christmas day after dinner we were sitting around chit chatting and the subject of Taylor Swift came up. I mentioned I thought it was odd I didn't know any of her songs. I could name songs by Lana del Ray, Adele, Amy Winehouse and Billie Eilish, but drew a blank on Taylor Swift. A gay friend of the family seemed offended, but he looked on his phone and realized he couldn't name any either. No one in my large family could name a TS song.
About a week later I started seeing reports that Taylor Swift was a psyop, which I thought was hilarious given that earlier conversation, but don't believe for a minute.

Not really sure why this was killed, but it's absolutely true. From the moment we started making radio signals, we've been broadcasting our location. Every single time we communicate with our deep space probes, we're sending out very specific signals that we're here. To that end, that's the entire point of the opening scene in the movie Contact. It's just that the time frame we've been broadcasting is just a drop in…
They can probably just watch co2 spectral lines and count how many of us there are.
Just as many as on Mars, but hardly any compared to Venus.

This comment vaguely reminded me of this delightfully strange article on Taylor Swift that Sam Kriss published a while back: https://samkriss.substack.com/p/taylor-swift-does-not-exist

I personally believe METI practitioners are extremely arrogant ideologues. They've decided that they speak for the entire world, the entire human race, and that they can risk all life on this planet. They think they know better than everyone else, they think they're smart enough, when in reality they truly know nothing about what else is lurking out there in the universe, just like the rest of us. The only rational,…
It seems to me you're projecting our own human nature over all possible intelligent life. But with a bit of imagination the potential space of intelligent life is much larger than just "displaying human-like agressive traits".
Sound reasoning when applied to the alien civilizations themselves. However, the dark forest problem (which is what the original commenter I think is talking about) extends beyond the idea that aliens may or may not have agressive traits, if you believe that there are thousands of alien races out there, you only need one to be technologically advanced and decide that humans are too "agressive" to be left alone.
Upate: Other people in the thread have mentioned 3 Body Problem, I would recommend taking a look, it completely changed how I think about this.

Some now even go so far as to claim theyre aliens… or more specifically reptilians
Who? There are DNA tests waiting for them to validate this very specific brand of bullshit.
Your argument is that a brain which is functioning so poorly that it thinks it’s a reptile will be convinced by some piece of paper from a lab? That’s an interesting thought.

There are nice, somewhat tight garments waiting for them. DNA tests are a waste. This if funny farm level delusion, assuming they're not doing it just for kicks. Such beliefs to me are an indicator of a malfunction and just like having your towel with you is an indication of being prepared for everything and that you probably are in the possession of a lot of other useful stuff so is this idea one that comes with a high probability that you have more garbage rolling around in your head.

I don't listen to Taylor Swift at all, but even I've heard of "Shake it off". Is your comment about your memory or about her mindshare among non-fans?
