Y'all keep thinking aliens are gonna be this incredibly complex and intelligent society that can communicate through entire galaxies and can travel vast distances in seconds.

Put that into perspective.
We will go extinct as a species before we get tech that even comes close to that. We will hit a technological singularity before we create things that defy today's physics, And at the same time be applicated in a useful, safe manner. (I.e teleportation (inner and interplanetary) and spaceships capable of safe for human, light-speed travel)

We rarely even find planets with Nearly as many sustainable resources that earth has.

I'm sure they exist, statistically speaking, but y'all are getting too imaginative with how smart they are gonna be.
Well I wouldn't go as far as to say that we will go extinct as a species once we can tap into our full intellectual potential, it's likely not definite. What I'm wondering is what if these aliens just have greater intellectual capability than we do? What if there wasn't ever any catastrophic events that happened on their planet that could cause them to go extinct or encounter any kind of dark age? And they don't even have to be super humans they could be identical to us even our intelligence but if they got all of the time that their planet has been in existence to develop then they could really enlighten us or easily destroy us.

Question might be why would they want to do either?

Same reason why America invades and exploits weaker countries. Maybe they would've advanced passed that whole "conquer the world" attitude that humans (or maybe just white people?) have. This is just conversation that I'm having on my lunch break btw don't mind me sweetie.

that's a very optimistic view of things, because while a situation like that is theoretically possible, a civilization like that could have came and went before the earth itself came into the picture.

It's really a hopeful outlook to think we'd be vastly less intelligent and tech savvy than our alien neighbors

The picture you're painting is literally a best case scenario for another life form

A Perfect planet, with no catastrophic events that houses a civilization long enough to teleport across the galaxy :mjlol:

It's more likely we'll find exceptionally complex bacteria at this rate we're going

But nobody wants to approach this topic like that because, well, bacteria is boring :yeshrug:

No, no hate or nothing, i'm a friendly. I'm just asking why would they even bother with us considering our behavior. Unless they're the mother plane that the Prophet referred to.

We're in a thread about aliens I assumed we would be able to talk about unlikely scenarios my bad boo.
