It is the dumbest idea to try to kill an alien if they haven't demonstrated to be a threat. They could be a billion years more evolved than us, and once they have evidence to classify us as hostile, they could likely wipe us out in any number of ways without even showing their cards.
The hypothesis that life consistently acts to protect itself is also a foolish assumption, as it doesn't always have such power.
- out_of_protocol 2y ago> life consistently acts to protect itself This one is true, while "wiping out everyone else" is false. E.g. cats found easy way to protect themselves without killing humans
- OutOfHere 2y agoMost plants have almost no power to protect themselves from humans. Animals do. It's not a consistent guarantee.
- out_of_protocol 2y agoMy point is you can protect yourself by cooperating as well. Wiping out other party is very risky, you are also weaker during the process, means someone else can butt in - happens all the time in the nature, even with lions/tigers who are "apex predators"
