This is a long one, I'm sorry, I've been Quiet lately, Hopefully, this makes up for it. Everyone Dreams about what Open First contact will be like for humanity, That first historical interaction between Us And Our long-awaited Visitors, our brothers from the stars.
We were discussing in an earlier Kchoo thread about What kinds of life could be out there and What they may be like, Dont get this wrong. , Many people speculate a verity of views on why we seemingly cover up something so inexplicably obvious "We are not alone" I don't really believe many of us here do believe we are alone, But, I believe there are a lot of practical and obvious reasons an extraterrestrial species wouldn't want to permanently co-exist alongside us.
You know, Once we accept that they are far more advanced than us, They are still not Human beings, They aren't another Race they are a completely different life form than us, They are not from here this isn't their environment so it's not perfectly suited to them, Why would they want to live in the stone age in an environment that wasn't even meant for their species of life? Sure they come here, but they always leave, It may be that they can't be here for long periods of time without getting sick?
This isn't their environment after all. So, Really, In my eyes, Expecting them to really want to live here and co-exist with us, Would be like asking any of us, Hey, We have discovered New life and it needs to be studied but it's at the bottom of the ocean where the pressure can kill you, So, Lets all pack up and move there..
I just think, There would be issues, Like, They aren't another race, They are a different species, So, Questions and even riots and wars eventually would transpire about who is superior. I know what you are thinking,
Wars have been fought over that, Surely that won't happen again.
Real talk here for a moment, " Every war ever fought ever in history was all about who was superior, Every time... History repeats itself" Anyway, let's forgo all that. Aliens have arrived, they are here they want to live with us and give us their technology and lead us into a golden age of peace and prosperity, What happens the next day? How in your mind do we advance forward? Do wars break out? Do the aliens solve all our problems? Do they use Alien Jedi magic and control us mentally and enslave the entire human race with technology?
In your mind, I want you to imagine, The aliens have been here for 100 years. What has occurred here on earth in this time? Have we become a more advanced species? are we all now slaves to our superior overlords who defeated us all in battle with a simple firmware update to our brains because, "Aliens" The thing about this a bit, And Get back to me, The Question is, When the aliens arrive, I mean, Of course, we accept them with open arms because that's the dream, Right? Of course, we will, So they come here and live with us, Hoe does it change us in one hundred years time?
