Actual chances aside and hypothetically: how does society respond in the first 1-3 months of confirmed aliens? Feels like there would be a large existential crisis to some extent.

It'd likely be similar to the COVID response, right? An initial slow burn. Some people believe & panic quickly. Others aren't concerned and live their lives normally. International consensus is reached about a global response. Some people will support this. Others will revolt. New economies will boom. Others collapse.

Eh, all the vehemently religious would deny as much as possible, just like they did during the Trunp years, like they always do.. Though some would rationalize it as a “sign” from God of some sort, I assume. Everyone else who didn’t believe in the trad religions would be taken aback, tho smugly validated

I think that the social response would depend on the degree that such aliens interact with us

1-3 months sound like chaos. Shortly thereafter, I’d imagine, in the West at least, a reorientation of values as new portals to the collective unconscious are opened https://www.openculture.com/2013/05/carl_jungs_1957_letter_on_the_fascinating_modern_myth_of_ufos.html#google_vignette

Tbh I think The Three Body Problem was pretty damn realistic: some new religions, also a cult asking the aliens to destroy us, and the rest of us just running around like headless chickens with no clue what to do

I thought the pandemic would bring us together. But I imagine just a shit ton of polarization. But to the level of internal war.

Half of society wouldn’t believe they are real; spread misinformation to not look up on foxnews; then would shift their vitriol from migrants and illegal aliens to actual aliens; war ensues; aliens drop a simple virus easily thwarted by wearing a mask to strategically annihilate that half of the human race; win/win.

The movies always depict war and spaceships landing in front of a guy playing a synthesiser as the aliens start attacking everyone. Thats not what will happen. I anticipate they’ll ask to meet your grandmother who makes a lovely Victoria sponge cake because of all the things they’ve learnt, that’s all they want

depends where the confirmation comes from, and proximity — if the aliens are ‘out there’ versus imminent threat. if from a human source, probably like covid (scope for doubt) but if we’re hearing this directly from the aliens rather than earth world leaders then…cargo cults? mortal panic.
