Exactly. They're probably up there laughing at how stupid we are, fighting and killing each other, when 100ish years is all the years we have to live.

Maybe one of those planets is Cybertron

Quite interesting reading all the responses here. What's fascinating is that there are so many possibilities for what extraterrestrial civilizations could be like (including the possibility that none exist, ie the Rare Earth hypothesis), and regardless of probability, there are so many logically thought out yet different ideas.

Anyone looking for additional reading should look up the Fermi Paradox. As defined on the Wikipedia page, it is "the apparent contradiction between the lack of evidence and high probability estimates, e.g., those given by the Drake equation, for the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferm...or_the_paradox

Particularly engaging is the above section on potential explanations for why we have not observed other intelligent life.

Because humanity is so destructive and naturally seeking dominance, I think they would fear for their lives to come in contact with us instead.

lol, I forgot about this thread.

About being "idiots". It's really survival of the fittest. Humans are superior than the other animals, and that's why we rule the earth. And if animals oppose, we take by force. It's how it is.

About aliens being nice to us, I see that happening only if there is a reason for them to keep us alive. It would only be in their best interest.

But at the end of the day, we're all just speculating what the behavior of intelligent aliens would be like. We all have theories, but the only fact is that they'll be a far far superior race than humans. And knowing this fact makes it quite scary that they can crush humanity whenever they choose. So I don't agree with them fearing for their lives to come in contact with us.

Can't say that that is a fact. There is literally zero evidence that intelligent life are more destructive than human. Otherwise, I'd imagine we would see explosions of some sort in outer space.

No, I think you misunderstood what I said.

If they're capable of finding us first, I think that's a given that they are more superior.

There's no evidence of them being more destructive as humans, but it's very plausible if they are capable of travelling so far to find us, they are also better equipped to defend (or attack) than humans are. Whether they come in peace or hostility is unknown, but the fear I was mentioning about was that they would be capable of, if they chose.

If there are aliens out there, they'll be very very far away. Farther than we can see. So I'm not so shocked if there could be explosions we aren't seeing.

We barely found out these planets exist, how the hell would we be able to see explosions on them?

I am just saying that as an example of evidence. If there was a galactic war, I'm pretty sure we would find evidence of it.
