I like this post. It is obviously written to be more thought provoking rather than eliciting a response. As time goes by, I am more and more convinced that I chose to come here. I am trying to do my best, but I am still lazy, selfish, rude, and mean at times. Life is a work in progress.
More and more I am trying to evolve my soul to be more selfless and do things because they are the right thing to do, not because I gain some benefit. My goal is to silence the ego, yet there are situations still where the ego has too much influence. Through all the chaos, thanks for a little inspiration.

Those are pretty large generalizations for large segments of the population. I don’t think tribalism is a healthy neighborly characteristic either. “Regular” people work and live in all of those industries you described.
Hopefully if there is life wanting to make more broad contact with our species they will choose to make contact with the most level headed people no matter what their profession may be.
This “us vs them” has to stop if we are ever going to progress as a species. Whether or not it concerns contacting other intelligent species. We sound like a bunch of bickering children.
I’m not angry with you personally. I just see way too much tribalism eroding this society.
