Would you ever want for our species to come into contact with another alien civilization where we could trade our history, science and knowledge?

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

We would see how they look and their religion. Everything about them. Their anatomy. Their beliefs. Pictures of their planet and cities

Yes

No

[MCheetah]

Hell no! When we're literally the only "intelligent" species we know exists and some of us have enough self-awareness to admit how retarded this species still is, such as me, then I'd say we're not ready to meet aliens yet.

I also think aliens 100% for sure know we exist here, but avoid us like COVID and keep us quarantined in our solar system, hoping we never break out and infect the galaxy with our massive stupidity and violence. We're probably the most barbaric, backwards, stupid species in the galaxy, even comparing other species in their primitive "caveman" ages. Even they were probably more "humane" than humanity is right now, post splitting the atom.

I'm going to "offend" some people with this, but I don't care cause it's accurate: Humanity is like the Arab Muslims (terrorists) of the galaxy: More backwards and barbaric than anyone else in the entire galaxy, but also so arrogant and foolish, that we think "our way" is the only "right" way, while displaying such insane stupidity, stupid beliefs, and unnecessary violence, even this far into our development cycle (I'd say we're close to our extinction, and our lifespan is drawing to an end; maybe another 200-300 more years left.)

I think aliens would be more prone to exterminate humanity just to liberate the animals and local fauna on this beautiful planet from us.

There is only the heavens (universe) and the Earth with living beings. There is no other habitable planet or living inhabitants in the heavens. And, there will never be an end to the universe.

There’s no planet to colonize, be called too, or escape too because ludicrous climate differentiation is going to destroy the Earth. Grandparents grew up hearing planet freezing and sun losing ability to heat. Now too hot, overpopulation, and too much resource usage…
Anything but a Creator God meaning man must make his own person, way, universe, and survival plan. In the Beginning God created heavens and the Earth as well as much more during the following days. Day 6 Man/Woman biological Sex.

[Curiosity2006]

Yes! It would be the greatest discovery in the history of planet Earth! We shouldn't necessarily initiate wars with them, given that the people in charge aren't barbarians since not everybody is, @Chazmatazz269

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets the movie is a beautiful example!

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

Would you be afraid

[Curiosity2006]

Nope, I would be mesmerized! I would want to travel to their planets with them, and could be slightly unnerved naturally, but it would be super exciting!

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

What if they said they could show you their world and language but they couldn’t you bring back to earth until another 42 years

[Curiosity2006]

Believe it or not, I'd choose to stay there! Given that they're equally as intelligent as us or more, and that I would be serving a technological purpose on their planet, astro-focused to work with them in finding other intelligent life as planet Earth in the universe! It's probably the most selfless thing one can do for intellectual prosperity. Count me in! XDDD

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

Would you date an alien 👽

[Curiosity2006]

lol XDD I would mostly be there serving a scientific purpose, but I don't see why not! XP

[dustybiker]

The human “leaders” would make a muck of it, insult a species more advanced than us, who in turn will nuke our entire planet with their exhaust. No. I warn them to lock their doors when passing by earth.

[Chazmatazz269]

Yes and no. The discovery would be blindingly brilliant. But humans being the ignorant and panicky creatures that we are, the incontrovertible discovery of extraterrestrial beings would absolutely result in war. It simply cannot be otherwise. Anyone who suggests otherwise is a liar or a moron.

[oatmealcookie]

Hell no! They are way too advanced and they won't understand us.

I've met some aliens. Their work week is Monday and Friday. That's it. The other five days are Saturdays. I don't know how we managed to get that wrong.

[nolabels]

Yeah, it'd be frightening, yet cool at the same time.

[Anonymous]

For an alien species to come to earth to meet us well it would be like an ant looking up at a human.

[jshm2]

They probably came and left thousands of years ago already, kiddo.

[LadiesFavoriteToy]

fuck no, human's are too stupid and argoant to understand that there are civilizations that could melt our planet. Just would take one crazy person to shoot one and GOOD BYE HUMANS!

[Dinosaursandanime65]

That has already happened. A lot of those occasions are false though. Like Dragon Ball

[AngryCarl]

You xenophobes wouldn't even trade knowledge with people in the next state.

[FunkyMonkee]

It's already happened decades ago!!
