Always Cry Wolf

Like and subscribe. This is an archive channel, i'm not the owner of the content, check the link in the end. Human beings often unite during tragedies, foregoing our petty differences. Imagine if we didn't require the tragedy.

While "crying wolf" is considered bad, the title of this video refers to what happened at Yellowstone, and in that light, the title's meaning is "always strive for balance". During my 40 years of life, I have learned that attaining balance is the greatest solver of problems. Be neither excessive nor neglectful. I believe that is a good rule for the macro as well, for society, and for our planet.

Edit: I'm writing these words 6 years after creating this video. It will stay as-is, but if I could do it again, I would strive to make it seem less "anti-human". My intent was never to paint humans as a bad thing. It was meant as more of a sci-fi exploration with themes of how excess and neglect are bad for us, that we should strive for balance.

Things I made up VS things I didn't:
The Russians did receive a signal, sat on it for a year, and then claimed it was from an old Soviet military satellite. Other experts have stated that it did use a military frequency. I invented the conspiracy myself to tell the story I made for this video. The SpaceX rocket did blow up, but I have no reason to believe it was sabotaged. I just used the timing of the two events to grab your attention and invented the sabotage story to include it in my video. There's no such thing as an "EC39 media reset". I made that up (39 was my age at the time of writing, and "EC" are random letters). "SST" was also made up. Wolves did go extinct in Yellowstone during the 1920s and they were reintroduced by us during the 1990s. The area did dramatically regenerate by the early 21st century. It is believed that the wolves caused these dramatic changes, causing multiple trophic cascades, but that idea is still debated and some believe that there were too many other variables at play to fully credit the wolves with the change. Personally, I think the reintroduction of the wolves, coinciding with the altering of other animal behaviors, offer some compelling evidence, but I'm no expert. Other favorable variables may have been a fortunate coincidence. Regardless, it's a great device for my story, and remains totally possible. Why would aliens invade us? I wanted to create a relatable reason, better than the usual science fiction tropes. Why would people plant wolves? The answer to that is a good reason. The idea clicked, and it seemed more plausible than the usual alien stories.
