How ludicrous. Such irresponsible and reckless ideas are likely why we are not ready for any such contact. Here are a few things I believe alien intelligence may benefit from knowing about humans: Humans are meddlesome trivial scamps. Their thoughts feelings and beliefs are a threat to others. Man is savage and beastial, and must be dealt with so.

Looking around, being savage and beastial seems to be an inherent characteristic of being alive, which makes this guys position make perverse sense, even though i dont agree and am willing to risk making more than the one obvious asumption underlieing his oosition in order to hace more palatable options for attempted communicatiin.

  It is a determination of will which may make it otherwise. Savage power is mitigated by a civilizing accord. A righteous rule (lawful behavior) is that civilizing accord. Extend every right privilege and validation to others as one grants unto themselves (whoever they may be.) This is how ascendant beings must behave.

    How many ascendant beings do you know, because I know zero and I know nobel laureates, Presidents, Prime Ministers, billionaires, and other highly esteemed humans. As far as I can tell, even the most esteemed among us are down in the muck with the rest of us as soon as you stop shining the public light on them. What preconditions are required to make any of your claims true? Even if your claims are true, are they changing the behaviour or are they changing the fundamental view that drives the behaviour? Because to me, it looks like only the behaviour, which makes it somewhat irrelevant as far as driving understanding. If the species we encounter evolved under competition and scarcity (likely) then none of this invalidates the concept of understanding us trying to kill them as the basis of the beginnings of understanding each other.

      Hello, I am an ascendant being. I believe in moral and lawful violence. I have great sex, like pissing people off, and turn psychotic when bullied or coerced. What do you think an ascendant being is? Ascension is to be the fullest self. Ascendency is to go beyond the self. Not all ascendant beings are honest, moral or lawful (I am, honest to a fault.) It is reprehensible to think you should try killing strangers because you cannot communicate with them. (Consider if I advocated killing you for speaking so foolishly.) See them as your equals and negotiate for territory like everything else.
