An alien race arriving at our shores cannot be anything but disastrous for us, IMO.
Why go through the massive expense to come all the way here if the intention is something that is not conquering or total dominion over us? We did this to our own fellow humans a couple of hundred years ago.
So yeah, call it immature or insecure. But I prefer they just leave us alone to be honest.
- anonzzzies 1y agoBut we hardly evolved past apes at this point (on any cosmic/earth timescale); these aliens have transportation that is technologically something akin to whatever scifi we came up with and deem mostly ideas that are not possible in reality. They could be around for 10s of millions of years while we are here just for a few 300k or so years with our real advancements just starting. They might have gone beyond the 'you land, I take, you die' kind of 'animal' thing we humans have?
- lelanthran 1y ago> But we hardly evolved past apes at this point And? Evolution is not "Progress to this $UTOPIC_POINT". Evolution does not mean "progress at all", using "progress" as you seem to use it in the rest of your post. They may have evolved to not have any compassion for any species that is not their own. They may have evolved to a point of having no compassion whatsoever.
- anonzzzies 1y agoI didn't say that about evolution, you knee jerked it. There is some (human, ape) logic that if you can survive millions of years while being technologically advanced, you probably have some compassion as if not, you would be extinct. But that's just human thinking; who knows. I would like to know.
