Doubting the capabilities of alien technology is pretty unwise. Telepathic communication with, and controlling the thoughts of, humans is easily conceivable.

" I have always said that I am in favor of a minimum income for every person in the country. " - Hayek Yes, clearly Hayek was in favor of government welfare assistance (and thus taxation).
