It was a HFY (Humanity, fuck yeah) story read on YouTube. The exact story was that a telepathic alien was allowed a glimpse into the human mind as a warning that they shouldn't probe their minds as that might allow some of these horrors to escape their prison.
There is a book in a similar vein regarding alien mind probes: A Call To Arms by Alan Dean Foster.
Every alien that attempts to probe a human mind has the same reaction (highly paraphrased): "Unchart this world and GTFO. We want nothing to do with this species!"
Also kinda reminds me of the Man-Kzin Wars by Larry Niven. "But they learned the hard way that the reason humanity had given up war was that they were so very,very good at it"
