Would we really be this stupid?
So saw another thing in sci fi with aliens been discovered on earth. the plot was the same again people wanted to help the innocent aliens escape whilst the government were rushing to capture them so they can kill them cut them up and find out what they are made of. Conspiracy theories allege this has happened on earth already. E.T had the same plot and this plot has been seen in many different sci fi.
Should the event ever happen (who knows maybe it already has but no evidence) that aliens do discover and visit earth then sure it is possible they are hostile it is also possible they come in peace, but what is assured is that they would come from a race far more technologically advanced then we are.
which means their is a very high possibility that they would have very significant military supremacy vs us. Surely then the best and most logical course of action if we Aliens come into contact with us to do everything we can to appease them. Not provoke a potential war by seeking to kill and cut open any visitors they send.
I mean am I missing something here surely we wouldnt be so stupid to do something so blatantly proactive to such a superior military power.

I must confess to not ever watching sci fi films, as they are mostly made by warped fkrs.
So just as an observer from afar.
Why would an alien have to be more advanced? If they were, we might have been taken over by now?
Military wise, do you think they’d come millions of miles just looking for a tear up.
In the ET film, did they not arrive on earth to just take a few samples? Sounds threatening.
Landed in California? Big drug problem there, nobody would have noticed.
They always seem to land in America,which at this current time would be an added pain in the a rse, as there’s enough aliens crossing their border as it is.
As for cutting them open,they are made of latex.
I saw one on a job at Shepperton studios, no expense spared.
Other than that, I can’t add much,but I bet misterPJ could.
there is no reliable evidence publicly available that aliens have actually visited earth but if they have they clearly did not desire to conquer the planet that or they have not been visiting for long.
They could just be hear to collect samples but then killing them may change their priorities.
as for made of latex I would assume not but who could actually know?
knowing sods law they would land in North Korea the one country that would be stupid enough to attempt to cut them open. or force them into slave labour mining coal.
Is it up, then first or second right, then straight on, then hang a left?
Can you have directions in space?
Left or right of what?
FWIW, I think Elon Musk might be an alien, he looks the type.
Looking forward to the memoirs.
@mumsie , I see you’re having great trouble staying alert.
I’m guessing you’re going to say the films are ‘ creative?’
Saw a trailer, nah, not for me.
Mankind on Earth is ( generally) so wrapped up in its own importance in the galaxy we can’t open our minds to the (scary?) possibility that we aren’t really that important in the life cycle of the universe.
If you were to conduct your own experiment in the garden , with ( inferior) life forms which for their whole life destroyed each other and the “planet” you had created for them , what would you do?
The chances are, if there were aliens,one took a dump and then took off home.
Suspect No1.
We have just about got the capability to “explore” our nearest planets.
In the scale of the universe that’s like saying there’s no supermarkets other than my local Asda I can walk to.
Then there are viruses and bacteria that we can knock up at will.
Not to mention a spot of cloning.
Then there are anomaly’s, like a bad pint.
Plenty to occupy us down here.
Have all the astronauts had their vaccines? Presumably a booster would be of benefit.
Do they need to isolate on their return to earth?
If there's life out there with inferior intelligence and capabilities, I guess they've got more important things to attend to.
Like being inferior to Humankind.
One way I look at things is how would we behave as the more advanced aliens making first contact? I can imagine several different scenarios. If for example the **** had won world war 2 then carrying that ideology forward humans would likely view them as inferior and naturally invade and enslave them all it would not end well for the alien world.
However if say in the next 10 years we had a major breakthrough giving his wormhole tech or etc and found an alien world one could imagine the media and peoples politics been heavy on respecting the alien world and not abusing it and thus us taking great care to not do harm. or If it was in corporate interests to exploit this world the media could be controlled to cover up or use propaganda to encourage abuse of these peoples world.
Star trek I am told had the non interference principle.
there are many different scenarios in which if human kind ever was advanced enough to find alien worlds we would behave in multiple different ways.
To assume alien life would be like us some find absurd and assume it would be radically different in which case we cant predict at all how they would behave upon finding us.
if they were similar to us though then it there be different potential scenarios some of which would be friendly aliens some of which would be hostile.
I believe therefore that some alien civilizations would be hostile and conquer us some would be benevolent and might even help us and some others may be neutral and lots of possibilities inbetween those.
exactly what ratios or proportions this would be in I could not possibly know, I would argue though we would be better of keeping a low profile so that we dont chance an encounter with a vastly military superior hostile power.
That been said I cant see it helping our chances to cut open visitors to see what they are made of.
