I mean, any contact will shift the me vs them mentality, hopefully, from country vs country to world vs world.
True. I wasn’t debating that, just saying if they’re going to sit back and watch us boil alive, they’re useless and not worth considering. We’ve got existential problems.
e: I see what you’re saying – maybe if we learnt we’re not the centre of the universe we’d come together. I guess I’m a cynic and I don’t think that would happen. We’d more likely enter new holy wars, with the major religions disrupting society again. Meanwhile, we’d still boil alive.
Probably lol
Screw that, if they have the tech to reach us I am with them. I for one welcome our new alien overlords. I can be the Dr. Breen to their Combine.
If they allow it? Fuck yeah I'm trying to get on a spaceship with em. But there's a chance they just don't want us with them
