It does, but it's accomplished that over the past century by prioritizing short term growth, long term consequences be damned.
As those debts are starting to come due to collect, while it is still accurate to say that there's been an unprecedented good run, that doesn't mean the fast approaching wall ahead that has everyone else worried is a mirage either.
Both can be true.
We’ve had market corrections. We’re coming up on some global population correction for sure in the next century or so. I guess we’ll all find out if that’s the Great Filter, or if it’s something else we haven’t found yet.
Aliens probably exist somewhere, but space is unfathomably large. They have never been here. UAPs generally fall into two categories: faked or oddities not understood at their time of capture.
Or, much more likely, something was going on that they didn't understand, such as this: https://youtu.be/jHDlfIaBEqw?si=_wPWoNuzIRa2CrGw&t=548

Debunking can also mean to expose something as exaggerated, which is what these are.
They're just aerial phenomena that the government can't or doesn't care to explain. It absolutely does not mean any of what they released is of extra terrestrial origin, nor does it imply there's any crazy advanced tech going on. It's typically misinterpretations or weird tricks of light occurring in camera, which are initially classified as the cause is unknown, then are later deemed safe to declassify.
