"Aliens, love, where are they?"

 

     John Hodgman's TED talk, "Aliens, love, where are they?" seems to explore the idea of ​​aliens and their potential existence. In terms of conflict, the central conflict of the talk is the mystery and speculation surrounding the existence of aliens. John Hodgman mentions Enrico Fermi, a physicist who contributed to the development of atomic technology, and presents him as an example of someone who could be perceived as an alien for his important contributions without asking for payment.

Hodgman also briefly introduces other characters or encounters in his life that may or may not have extraterrestrial connections. These encounters seem to serve as anecdotes and examples to highlight the idea that people's beliefs about aliens are often based on stories and conjecture rather than concrete evidence.

The resolution of the talk is not about giving a definitive answer to the existence of extraterrestrials but rather about fostering respect for the beliefs and experiences of others. Hodgman suggests that while we may not have concrete evidence of extraterrestrial life, it is important to respect people's claims and not mock them.
