You're a the leader of an alien race roaming the universe in search of sentience. You arrive to Earth and your projections see that human life will perish in less than 100 years unless humans revert the damage to the planet.

You explain this. You promise amazing tech and knowledge if the changes start happening. Nothing changes in the first year. In fact, trillionaires push through social media and the news outlets scream about the danger of "the alien woke mind virus" and people starts hating you.

Your mission, through draconian and inapelable actions, is to decimate the power of trillionaires, redistribute wealth, ensure all countries have progressive governments which promote education, science and general prosperity. Violent, backward, antiscience countries, regardless of their former power, must get removed from the political scene so the more humane, friendly, humanitarian countries start collaborating in improving the world.

It would be a total commercial failure, but what a notion.

I hope you have the same opinion regarding philosophy,

I don't care a iota about philosophy, in fact.

pure math

Pure math is a self-contained system that only occasionally is useful in reality

and string theory

String theory has no full international scientific consensus, so for now is just a possible model of reality. Does it bother you?

Then don’t fucking answer the question.

You seem to think I recognize your authority to give me orders. I don't.

Clearly some people, including the OP, see value in discussing beings whose existence cannot be verified in reality.

As long as they postulate it as fiction, I don't have an issue with that. The moment they posit they ideas are real, they're exposed to scrutiny to those among us who care about what's real and what's not.

As a final note, your tantrum is somewhat amusing, but in a different sense is somewhat sad. Make of that what you want.
