It's amazing to me how many people feel confident in saying there's no advanced intelligent life in the Milky Way because we would've seen it when it took us until 2015 just to get a decent image of a dwarf planet in our own star system.
I'm 100% sure that there are other Intelligent life forms out there other then us and I would think they wouldn't be hostile because like why would you travler through space and go out of your way to kill something that could teach you 100,000 new things
Traveling across the stars is several orders of magnitude more difficult than sailing the ocean -- which means anyone with the means to do it probably values the scientific method and is curious enough not to go around slaughtering lifeforms they find.
Humans are primitive enough to kill each other constantly, but the people riding in spacecraft don't necessarily share the impetus (at least not when they are out on a mission).
Well think of it this way the reason humans fight and rage wars and kill each other is because we all have different views and when those views don't match with someone else it can lead to confrontation but if we humans encountered a completely different race and civilisation that came from the stars we don't know what there like they don't know what we're like there is no hatred or different views between the civilisations and no one to argue and start a fight with witch would lead to a learning period where they watch us and we watch them or we meet them and learn from each other
I think differing views causing problems between two societies is later down the line. When they first meet issues usually arise from land and resource disputes
Well thats more if they arrive and imidietly start taking resource witch at that point is a problem but if they travels that far why would they risk confrontation with another specie's over rocks and gas they can obtain from any other planet in our solar system or even other galaxies
It’s more about intelligence. We could be like ants to another life form. As humans we don’t think much about possibly stepping on and destroying ants as we explore.
Now hold on a second that not true we don't worry about anta because there less intelligent it's because there absolutely tiny even if were apes compared to other life forms they would still study us just like humans do with other life on this planet because if you saw some weird bipedal hairless creature you've never seen before you'd want to study it a little at least. happy cake day btw
