>assuming aliens exist
any alien civilization capable of long-range interstellar space travel will be orders of magnitude above us technologically. wouldn't this imply that trying to prevent or deter alien study of the planet would be pointless? it would be like some polar bears versus the entire united states armed forces, sure maybe we might get a lucky shot in but in the end their intelligence would mean that they'd be capable of strategy and co-ordination on scales we can't even conceive of.

Get to the point, anon.

>>19155042
the point is that we're going to need to learn to assimilate cause realistically we evolved pretty fucking late in the game

>>19154997
There are no aliens anon-kun. The universe is only a few thousand miles wide.

You're an idiot.

invalid because we're all retards posting on a paranormal board

>>19154997
Aliens probably, hell, most likely exist but the universe is so unimaginably large that its fairly likely they aren't anywhere near us.

Nah, they're a bunch of mystic space elves who haven't done shit since they implemented a universal basic income. They sure feel advanced as fuck to themselves, though.

yeah i know man its a fuckin thought experiment jesus christ this is why i never post on this board

That's like assuming because a group of people is better at making vehicles than your group they also are better at everything else. They could make sick as rockets and shit but be shit with weaponry. They could have completely focused on travel and just didn't worry about the chances of conflict or never advanced past sword like weapons.

The point is that this board doesn't deal with bullshit when we decide to take things seriously and you presented the situation that already has a result, with no allowable wiggly room.
Tl;dr You can't into thought experiments

What if there's a shit ton of aliens out there, but they're all primitive or have shitty technology so we wouldn't be able to meet them for a long ass time anyway?

>>19154997
Unless they're not and at the same technological level and have just decided to make a ship that they can live on spending thousands of generations traveling through space.

Would you have any interest for a single grain of sand in a desert? so why alien should care about our planet?
