cenario 3 would actually redefine all our assumptions about how the world works. It makes perfect sense for this one to have the biggest emotional impact.

Of course both can be true. You can be without job skills and be economically/socially powerless, but at the same time capable of destruction. The wave of knife/bomb/vehicle attacks committed by refugees in Europe are proof of this.

Future - Inside The Mattress

Thought experiment: imagine an alien. Great, experiment complete. Now examine what you came up with. It’s almost definitely one of two things: 1) a specific extraterrestrial from a movie or show, who you can point to as from that movie/show. 2) what’s known as a “Grey” -- a small humanoid with a large teardrop head and two face-dominating eyes. That second kind of Grey Alien dominates our cultural conception of life from other planets. But where did it come from? And what does it say about our larger belief in everything from dragons to werewolves to the scariest monsters ever invented? On this spooktacular episode of The Cracked Podcast, Alex Schmidt sits down with Jason Pargin (who writes for the site as David Wong). They’ll dig into the creepiest “true” story Jason’s ever encountered. They’ll also explore monster lore from the Salem Witch Trials to Slenderman creepypasta to the myth of The Deep State. And they’ll consider whether all monsters, human and otherwise, come from a cultural &amp; psychological source that’s scarier than anything you could dress as for Halloween.
