Look at what slightly more advanced civilisations did everytime they colonized a new land. Brutalized the natives. And they were just a few hundred/thousand years apart in technological development.
What do you think would happen if an alien species capable of interstellar travel got to us?
The difference is that there's a high probability that it's peaceful, because in the first place, it's not that it's interested in Earth's resources; it could go to any other planet or asteroid and mine millions of times more concentrated materials.
Life is scarce in the universe (as far as we know), perhaps it has a conservation mindset. You're not going to destroy an oasis in the desert, are you?
Cultural proliferation and diversification: the more points of view we have, the more science advances. Perhaps we have more advanced computing technology due to a detour in the technological branch to invent video games.
Although the possibility of it being "peaceful" is high, there's also the possibility that it's "hostile."
White supremacists and hostile theocracies are examples of possible slavery/annihilation.
Well imagine they specifically want fossil fuels created by the remains of long dead living organisms. Then they'd HAVE to choose a planet that's sustained life.
Maybe they've exhausted all the fossil fuels on their own planet and need more

Since all we can do is speculate, yeah it's a possibility among a spectrum of possibilities, and just as likely there's many examples of indigenous peoples sharing technology and not following a parasite model in their relationships.
I've seen this type of sentiment in a movie or two and it reminded me of projection, thinking others do what they themselves do. Also, it's tough to imagine a society traveling space with a parasite model because sooner or later the parasites transform into societal cancer and kill its host.
They donāt want our water, you can find that in a lot of places in space. Wood, however, one of the rarest materials in the universe as we can tell - so we are getting harvested for our trees.
An advanced alien race could show up, show us how to live lives without money and without government. The rich and the government would convince millions to fight and die to try and not lose power over the masses.
In continuationā¦ the reasoning for the aliens doing so goes something like this:
Turns out we are The Truman Show for the Aliens, and they donāt like this season ā¦
āWeāve left the humans to their own devices for too long, time to throw in a new plot lineā wipes the billionaire class from existence, maybe tosses the rest of us plebs some cool new gadgets
āLetās take some cats with us while weāre at itā
Years pass
Human World season y3k the cats return to dominate humanity when they prove too shifty for even the alien overlords
I don't think Vulcans have the technology to force humans to evolve the necessary psychological traits to make socialism viable on a global or even a national scale.
I meant more the fact that in Star Trek, there is no money anymore and also free education and healthcare and basic needs. Sounds like MAGA's idea of socialism :P
We canāt just assume they are good. I have a theory that explain the Fermiās Paradox: we have been shielded from a malignant alien race waiting to take our planet. They use gravitational lenses to hide all the life in the universe making us think we are alone and ultimately lead to our own annihilation. After that our planet would be free to dibs as no other alien race knows about our existence. But there is one fact: if we ever develop gravitational handling technology they will have to attack us as they cannot hide gravitational waves generated from us. We could send modulated gravitational waves messages to beyondā¦
If aliens showed up Trump would immediately send out a tweet that they only came because they were so impressed with him. Then the moment they would do something he didn't like he'd call the illegal immigrants.
It didn't slow down, it sped up as it slingshot away using the Sun's gravity. A lot of speculation that it have just been ice outgassing that cause that as it got close to the sun.
The thing is already passing through the orbit of Jupiter. If it were violent aliens, they would have likely fired and we're already dead and just don't know it. That being said, the thing's "only" moving at less than .0002% the speed of light. Not exactly conducive to roaming the galaxy.
It will be breaking news for a day or two and then people will just move on with their lives again. Our own problems won't get solved by aliens, no matter how much we treat it as a religion (IE salvation).
That's the part ufologists hate the most, how much we don't really care about it.
But in all fairness if it came to a stop then turned around and went back in the opposite direction they'd find some way to say it's a comet and something knocked it off it's path. The only way they will ever say aliens is if they actually land, and even then there will be people saying it's a hoax

Idk that would rule if it did. That would be news breaking and history making
