Now now, be respectful, this is Arthur C. Mother #ing Clarke you speak of. Indulging in fantasy? # That!
Do yourself the simple honor, give yourself the immeasurable joy of reading Arthur C. Mother #ing Clarke's "Childhood's End."

Doesn't matter. Unless the aliens load us all up in their golden flying saucers to make us gods and show us a sunrise from Club Med Planet with three moons (or roast us up for dinner), I'm still going to have to go to work and buy food and gas and generally continue to live my life. It might be cool to know that there are aliens, but after the coolness wears off, I still have to eat and crap and sleep, just like before.
It might be the biggest thing in the history of mankind, but it ain't gonna pay the bills.

Not everyone is susceptible to Hypnosis.
The study, published in the Archives of General Psychiatry, explored the differences between brains that could be hypnotized, and those that couldn’t. Using MRI technology, they discovered that people who cannot be hypnotized tend to have less activity in the parts of the brain related to attention and “executive control.”
