True. I wasn’t debating that, just saying if they’re going to sit back and watch us boil alive, they’re useless and not worth considering. We’ve got existential problems.
e: I see what you’re saying – maybe if we learnt we’re not the centre of the universe we’d come together. I guess I’m a cynic and I don’t think that would happen. We’d more likely enter new holy wars, with the major religions disrupting society again. Meanwhile, we’d still boil alive.
I only care about aliens if they’re going to use their tech to fix our climate. Otherwise they can fuck off.
I mean, any contact will shift the me vs them mentality, hopefully, from country vs country to world vs world.

Probably lol
Screw that, if they have the tech to reach us I am with them. I for one welcome our new alien overlords. I can be the Dr. Breen to their Combine.
If they allow it? Fuck yeah I’m trying to get on a spaceship with em. But there’s a chance they just don’t want us with them
