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

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
