Modern Americans believe in an ideology that advocates the wisdom of the "average person" that coexists with constant manipulation by elites. Ancient Aliens is more proof that the average person is not particularly thoughtful but instead susceptible to wishful thinking. Don't think that doesn't also apply to politics, religion and economics.

Consider this - Ancient Aliens won't convince most people who understand science, but might convince people who believe in religion. I would argue that the ideas in Ancient Aliens are more reasonable and thought provoking than religious cosmology.
