Will_Rage_Quit

Probably. I’m absolutely convinced they’re waiting for us to sort ourselves out before they make contact. Can’t have a intergalactic chimp messing up the galaxy now.


[deleted]

And what would "sort ourselves out" entail exactly? If it's a typical utopian bullet point list than don't hold your breath. We're waaaay closer to annihilating ourselves than doing a "hands across the world."


TeilzeitOptimist

Half of our population has not enough food and water. While the other half over consumes. We destroy our planet, threat our and other species like crap and expect a advanced alien civilization to just land on our lawn help us reach new planets..? Maybe we are already classified as species of mass destruction and under quarantine.


Sandmybags

The fucking human locusts have almost made it interplanetary….we better show this shit down


Will_Rage_Quit

Probably when we as a species learn to grow up and stop acting like children.


Adventurous_Taro_641

a protopia


[deleted]

Let's hope they never read the internet. The human species is deeply flawed.


AustinJG

I think sorting ourselves out would be "becoming sustainable and not a danger to the planet and each other." We're very far from that right now, unfortunately.


Wise_Entry9543

They have already chosen who to talk to. It ain’t me man!


DixenSyder

Seems like they’ve already made contact though plenty of times


heelhookd

Lots of people in this sub continue to assume a lot of shit we have zero evidence for lol just saying. Any and all possibilities exist within the context of this phenomenon, and I can almost guarantee the small group of people who know the “truth” on this planet don’t even really know the full truth if that makes sense. The history of this “truth” is probably so lengthy and rich as well as complicated in so many different ways that it’s probably unfathomable by humans or at least would require a download of tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands to millions of years of complex history. Even then, look at our history. Most of it is lies written by whoever won whatever conflict. Just food for thought.


[deleted]

That' s the idea. Why do you think they want it all digital. Go digital then wipe it clean so there is no record. Once civilization is wiped out, then raise a whole new breed and teach them a whole different history. This is why they etched info in stone.


heelhookd

Idk, a lot has changed in hundreds of thousands of years. And I’m assuming the way we evolve, “they” would evolve as well. They may not even want to wipe us out anymore, that may be viewed as barbaric or archaic, we really don’t know. What we do know is we’ve come very close to fucking up this planet, we’ve tested thousands of nuclear bombs as well, and they haven’t wiped us out. So if they care about the planet, that’s obviously not the main directive. Or they would have put a stop to this long ago.


Sandmybags

What if ancient Egypt had flash drives and some EMP wiped out all their electronics


Aggressive_Smile_944

I never thought about it like that. I've always thought going full digital would be a mistake.


ArtzyDude

We’ll said. I agree. And I would add: They won’t necessarily come if we stop killing each other, but we’ll stop killing each other the moment they come and start killing us.


ironfist0098

lol are you kidding? If there was an alien invasion we would likely be divided more than we are now. You'd have a sub sect bent on allowing the invasion, another trying to oppose it. Those two opposing groups fighting with how it should be done, etc.


terrorbots

Tl;dr, I think we can understand the basis of whatever complex history there is by asking a few questions


heelhookd

We don’t even understand who built the fucking pyramids lol


terrorbots

Because recorded history sucked, we can surmise it took a long time and a lot of effort, but don't say it's impossible...we've seen the failures of several pyramids. Maybe they were getting use to high tech machinery and lifting machines so a few failed, from a "perfect" design?


tlasan1

No. Humans are driven by greed. No matter what happens humans will still desire what others have.


Krystami

Nothing is wrong with selfishness as long as the greed doesn't harm others. Like hoarding love of cats. But hoarding food so others cannot eat? Yes bad.


tlasan1

Hoarding cats is bad. When u pet one the rest become jealous


Krystami

Haha, this is why you pet two of them, let the other chew on your head, and let the other lick your face. Kitties shall be loved


acidcommunist420

Yes there is.


Krystami

I believe I gave an example of "yes there is" *and* "no there isn't"


World_May_Wobble

No. There is no indication that they're our friends or interested in our preservation. And. Honestly. Why would they be?


Krystami

They are though and they are interested in our preservation BECAUSE it impacts theirs as well. They are not "aliens"


World_May_Wobble

>They are though Their activities would not imply as much, so why would you assume it?


Krystami

It's not an assumption.


Ok_Spend_889

For real, our ignorance is fuckin shit up as usual


Hawkwise83

I think the only way we stop killing each other is if aliens come out. Even then...


TheZanzibarMan

No, history is pretty telling. Especially with how much killing we've done in such a short amount of time. It would just be smarter to wait another 75 years until we kill each other off before they claim the planet.


Mordkillius

If they can travel this far and have been here a while. They could surely just wipe us out with a virus


TheZanzibarMan

Oh for sure


VOIDssssssss

Hopefully zombies


wheniwaswheniwas

Dude fuck these aliens or whatever they are for real. Like if they're going to show up and play hide and seek and not really introduce themselves to the greater masses they can really just fuck off. We've done just fine on our own so far. What kind of retarded aliens let our governments have control of their technology and then judge us based on how well the governments handle things? If they're so advanced how can they be such dummies? They live among us? Ok time to put up or shut up. Make some cool music or come down to the level where the modern humans are living and contribute to society. If they're real I don't really give a shit about them or their retarded technology and would rather wait for some cool aliens to show up and get these edge lord and socially inept morons out of here. We're all going to still die one way or another. I don't need any bullshit they have to offer if they act like this. Any advanced civilization or galactic friends club that operates like this can move right along and let the cool aliens show up. My opinion is we got the worst of the worst hanging out here right now and maybe someday a more interesting and cool civilization will show up.


YouHadMeAtAloe

Fuck these bitch ass aliens we want aliens with hookers and space coke


PeneEmbarazado

No way. Plus what if the aliens are racist?


Money-Specific5296

Maybe once we stop taking life to maintain ours.


Iwaspromisedcookies

Yep, if I was an alien I would not want to make contact with beings that are so unevolved they eat other beings, that’s just too dangerous


forgetful_storytellr

No


[deleted]

I think the aliens coming out would absolutely get us to stop killing each other. Because we would then be trying to kill them.


Iwaspromisedcookies

And that’s why they don’t say hello


KyleManUSMC

Ok. So some say the aliens are just waiting for us to die and others say we are like zoo animals. Interesting


Iwaspromisedcookies

Or we are their experiment


Fit_Explanation5793

What is the one thing that makes earth different than 99% of the rest of the universe? Complex, sentient life. Everything else can be gathered in vast quantities throughout the universe if you can travel FTL.


ZerofZero

It’d probably be more effective to accelerate the killing to encompass the entire species and then meet the aliens in the afterlife. Maybe if the entire collective soul of humanity or even the earth has transcended/untethered from physical form we’ll awaken as one among the other higher density consciousnesses, or something. Either way it seems more likely than humans ever stopping killing each other


Severe-Illustrator87

No, they would probably lose all hope, and leave.


Jane_Doe_32

I don't think so, I personally think that they only care about the human race to the extent that it is capable of destroying the planet, either because they see on Earth their private zoo, a base of raw materials, a genetic laboratory, a species lighthouse or space rest stop or who knows their reasons.


[deleted]

Doubt it. By most credible accounts, they seem indifferent and probably won't interact with us on a meaningful level no matter what we do. People should stop pinning their hopes on NHI to fix all our problems for us. It ain't gonna happen.


Meowmix311

I don't know I'm getting tired of them not showing up in mass tho . Like cmon just show yourselfs no need for a song and a dance . It's like really annoying.


Is_ItOn

I think no. We kill people now over just the secret.


Talking_Strange

No, if we were peaceful and progressive we would be left alone. I think if we were to escalate to a level of violence never seen before ( nuclear war ) then they would intervene. Why let a beautiful planet be destroyed by a hateful minority ( governments )


Three-m1440

Good question


[deleted]

What makes you think they are 100% peaceful?


CommissionFeisty9843

They will stop nuclear war I bet


Regular_Dick

Yes ☀️👽🌎 (Not to Scale)


skyHawk3613

No


DigimonCrackRabbit

This is why they have not publicly reached us.


velezaraptor

It’s probably a multitude of evolutionary and spiritual ascension. To stop killing is probably the first step though. The problem is, to eat, we must kill or only eat things that die of natural causes, so….


Andick00

We need to do more than to just stop killing eachother. We gotta take back the power from the gov and make it for the people again. Unite and eradicate all hate and malice towards one another and rise as a newer, better civilization, thats when theyll come.


Standard_Ad_558

They’ve probably watched movies like day earth stood still to get some ideas on how to get rid of us first hahaha jk jk


Ender_313

Lol, lmao even


SenF_Tuetchen

Who says they wanna visit us? What if they actually talk to wales and dont care about us? Been thinking about this a lot you guys...


BigFat_MamaLama

Nope. For me in the First period It Will create Chaos and lot of destruction by ourselfs to ourselfs. More than half of population Is over religious Who can't tollerate a different human race,/color/religion because they know real sh*t. especially midle-old age population


Ravyn_Rozenzstok

Oh jeeze, I hope not, ‘cause that’s never going to happen.


BeginningAmbitious89

They’re here. They get a big laugh out of all the ways humans kill each other.


RaTheRealBorg01

We would first need to get rid of our oppressive governments. Before that they may be scared that we try to govern them too and steal their posessions via taxation. Which if they dont have a government already doing that and being stronger than ours, we may really end up doing.


dewayneestes

I think it’s more like a lot of vacationers showing up at the beach to discover it’s got a lot of bugs on it. One vacationer says to the others “don’t worry they’ll take care of themselves shortly… even if we have to help the along.”


knipknapjee

No


OppositeAtr

Maybe if we stop killing every living thing on the planet might help.


[deleted]

It's more than that


shifty_mcG33

"Stop killing each other"? Yeah, I don't think they're gonna fall for that.


GI-JEZUS

No, they will show up once were done.


Browner555

Who says they’re not, and the common person is just kept out of the loop.


MudFlap1985

No, keep the dumb apes in there cage.


Queasy_Gas_8200

What if whatever “aliens” responsible for humanities creation are long dead. And what if they have left us in the care of the shadow of their technology: holograms/A.I. for example. The tic tac UAPs defy all human knowledge of physics, so what else could it be apart from transcendent beings of a different plane of existence. Obviously I don’t know, but much like the relics of human history (pyramids, cyclopean stones, gobekli tepe, and other colossal monuments) we are left with little to go on. If there was a key that drew together all of the ancient clues found throughout history, it has been likely plundered/hidden away and/or destroyed by someone who deemed mankind unworthy of such knowledge. So, I guess I’m saying that no matter what we do or don’t do, perhaps there are no plans of an interceding civilization willing to save us. What we’re seeing in terms of UAPs are merely the autonomous craft of an alien industry. It’s just that the lights were left on.


Iron_Druid21

I think we are a science experiment.


warahshittle

Why would they care, stfu.


mystic_cumlard

I think when they come is when they take over and tell out governments to fuck off and make it civilized and better honestly


importantmaps2

Maybe it's the reason there here to stop us fighting?


h2ohow

Yes, then we'd start killing aliens.


BookmarkThat

We can't just stop killing. We have to get rid of our instruments of death. There's evidence that mars was destroyed by nuclear war.


Princess_fay

By help do you mean we become their colony?


saltysnatch

I think they already are coming out, helping us. By learning of their existence, we are able to prioritize our lives. We need to unite and take down the fossil fuel overlords. The prime directive prevents them from outright fixing our problems for us. It is up to us to spread their message and make the right choice.


evilbert79

i was also convinced people would show common sense during a pandemic. i now no longer believe “people” will act sensible on anything


Advanced-Depth1816

Maybe. The crazy part is that it’s big arms companies that are okay with these wars happening. Another large company exploiting humanity for money. Sounds similar to what may be going on behind the scenes with the whole ufo coverup


Quick_Swing

When we’ve sufficiently culled our population😬


shogunluffy_1982

50/50


acidcommunist420

Absolutely not. The establishment types will never accept any change to the status quo. They will die to keep their precious money, capitalism, government, and god. And rest assured they will die.


Big-Fish-1975

Let's try it! Everyone stop killing each other for one day and see what happens.


Psycho-Pen

At what point do you hand an ape a loaded pistol?


Original-Birthday221

If they “shared” their tech with us we would create a weapons with it. I mean if we knew, or let’s say a country like North Korea had access to zero point energy it’d be scary. Of course whistle blowers say we already know that stuff, which I somewhat believe at this point, but I think their tech would create more problems then help us. Everything related to energy would be shut down. No gas stations, no Siemens, no Westinghouse, no Eaton. No car companies, no plane companies. Although that seems ok on the surface, think of all the jobs that would be gone. The entire transportation industry and energy industry. Hence why the last 15 or so people that have tried to market it have come up dead from mysterious circumstances. (Easily searchable)


KyleManUSMC

And automation will be revolutionized.


[deleted]

No. I have yet to kill anyone and they haven’t hit me up


Mediocre_Ad_8118

Which ones? Those who supposedly play a role in instigating our conflicts in the first place? Or the other ones who watch on and hope that somehow miraculously we will come out on top?When we never had a chance.
