Open interaction with the highest levels of Universe society is designed for the evolution of the human race, not the illusory temporal power needs of a few white men. The differences could be incalculable, with that degree of power and authority to open up interaction and get beyond the zero-sum game of the death forces that now enforce the embargo against open contact. Well, we didn't get through under the Carter Administration, so now we must get through at the grass-roots. Acclimating is a good term for this process.

They will not have a problem absorbing the new post-reality. The difficulty is not the human population - it is the networks of human governments and the ownership of a petroleum and nuclear energy civilization that is in the hands of retrogressive forces. The ruling terrestrial elites are not ignorant of the non-terrestrial presence. They are actively carrying out a fifty year information war against our integration with Universe society. The issue is whether our space technology will be in accord with Universal principles, or controlled by a military empire.
