Accusing world famous astrophysicist Stephen Hawking of spreading misinformation about threats from aliens, former Canadian defence minister Paul Hellyer claimed Sunday that extraterrestrials have actually been visiting earth for decades.Rather than harm mankind, he said, their (aliens') spaceships have provided us information for triggering today's microchip and IT revolution on our planet.

"B.S.
I mean, the Type 0/1/2/3 thing has little-to-no basis, and the bit about "The transition from Type 0 to Type 1 is the most difficult thing evar" is completely made up, fueled by societal fears, wishful thinking, and a desire to recast certain political views into moral battles upon which rests the survival of our entire civilization, contrasting us with imagined failures in order to satisfy our pride that we may be the ones to overcome."- Aye, bit disappointing to have him rant about something that's not his speciality.detritus
