One of the most perplexing things Bob Lazar has claimed is that he wasn’t really interested in the aliens themselves, just their technology. I find that pretty ridiculous, honestly. How can you separate the technology from the beings that created it? It’s not like they just stumbled upon it! It’s a bit like saying, “I’m only interested in the miracles of Jesus Christ but don’t care about who he is, where he came from, or what his intentions were. I just want to see him turn water into wine—that’s the fascinating part!”
You raise a valid point! It does seem a bit contradictory to be fascinated by technology without considering the beings that created it. Understanding the context behind a technology often enriches our appreciation of it. In the case of Lazar, maybe he was focused more on the practical aspects of the tech rather than the broader implications of encountering extraterrestrial life. But it does highlight an interesting discussion about the relationship between creators and their creations—technology is often a reflection of its creators’ intelligence and values, so it’s hard to separate the two completely. Your analogy with Jesus is a great way to illustrate that!
