“Probably never know for sure, but its fun looking.... “
SETI gives motivation for some to become even more advanced even though they probably won’t find anything.
“I guess it never occurred to these people that Earthlings just may be the most advanced civilization in the Universe.”
Gee, that’s depressing.
Especially after last Tuesday!
...or the least advanced, and like an island of monkeys, the wiser civilizations decided to study us from a safe distance.
That's what I would do.
This planet is bloody dangerous!
I know that if I were an advanced alien and I discovered a planet full of primitive, warlike, violent naked apes with a primitive, emerging technological society, I would not be in any hurry to share technology or much of anything with them.
I would study them from a distance, take what I wanted and if I felt magnanimous, maybe guide their civilization... Or just sit back at a safe distance and keep an eye on them.
