(7,042 posts)Just because they have not decided to bother with us idiots yet doesn't mean they are not enjoying the latest episode of 'Earth's Funniest Videos' while simultaneously laughing and screaming with fear.
A friend once showed me a 'dystopian future' script that he was working on. In it, we humans discover that dogs can actually speak (with difficulty since their mouths are not able to make the same sounds that we can), are intelligent, and telepathic. The human is shocked and starts babbling about why did the dogs never indicate that they were so and expounding on all the great things that humans and dogs could have done together. The dog sadly replies that only a fool sells himself into slavery. The human doesn't get it at first (of course), but finally sees that, from their perspective, that it would be beyond folly to throw in with the people who had historically been treating you like a disposable servant/pet class since they would just take even more advantage of you.
But, humans always do. Hell, we do it to each other, you don't think we would have turned them into the next class of 'less than us'? So, why would aliens want to get mixed up with us? I hope they have this planet flagged to avoid. If they have any sense, they should. We cannot accept people from another part of this world, what makes us think we are ready to deal with peoples from another one?
