I wana know the opinion of bright minds like /sci on the topic:
If aliens are real, how old are they?
probably as a race like 5 milions years
gone trough shitload of evolution stages (probably were humans too)
why would they want to communicate with us at this point?
>>8515362
>why would
sry i ment
why wouldnt*
>>8515365
maybe they think we would kill ourselves with nukes if they apply pressure on our fragile establishments
>>8515373
so theres basically no possibility "they" would contact anyone
>>8515362
Maybe they're cool and naive enough to want to share all their knowledge/technology
>>8515362
For fun and curiousity.

>how old are they?
Anywhere from a few seconds to before this universe universed.
>why wouldn't they want to communicate with us at this point?
It could be any number of things; similar species are common in the universe, we're too dangerous, nothing to gain, we wouldn't even comprehend their messages, inter-species agreements not to communicate with species at our level, we're just boring, they don't want to interfere with species already involved with us etc...

How do you know they can actually have fun? Maybe their evolutionary process was completely different and they all ended up being psychopaths, sociopaths or just sadistic motherfuckers
>>8515362
Do you contact the Squirrel Nation before deforesting their habitat?
>>8515373
>we would kill ourselves with nukes
Q: Why are they so interested in all things nuclear?
A: They want your planet intact, not a radiated wasteland. You are currently building the infrastructure for them to conquer you.

>You are currently building the infrastructure for them to conquer you.
>implying they haven't already conquered this solar system
>>8515362
But can we fuck 'em?

sharing technology makes enemies

No you were right the first time. An advanced alien race probably wouldn't want to associate with a lower race and it especially wouldn't want to interfere with our evolutionary development because if we aren't at their advanced stage, we'd either end up scared of them and fight them, or we'd end up as their dependents and rely on them for everything since they are more advanced and have many answers to our questions. So it would hinder our development and make us like leeches to them. It would be like ripping open a cocoon to talk to the caterpillar in metamorphosis to ask it if it wants to be a butterfly.
The only reason an alien race would logically want to visit us is if they wanted to kill us.

Wouldn't they just end up as solitary animals without any culture?
>>8517333
>become psyhopaths
yes they could drop the culture and put science in the place of it
this way they could reach the level to leave their environment and reach stars
