Perhaps the Federation starships all had bumperstickers with Britsh Leyland logo and the phrase “I’d rather push a Leyland than fly a Klingon Battlecruiser.”

Professor Donald Kessler: We know they're extremely advanced technologically, which suggests - very rightfully so - that they're peaceful.
An advanced civilization, by definition, is not barbaric.

I was offering Stanton Friedman's argument regarding ‘extraterrestrial aliens’, an argument I happen to agree with. If ETs are as savage as we humans remain, their coming here would have long ago ended the human race as dominant species. Count on it. Even angels are not allowed to make a ‘final solution’ for that is in God's purview.

But humans are better understood as creators who've consistently solved the problems of scarcity by inventing or discovering new paths to abundance.Sums it up, IMO.
I have wondered for a couple decades why humans in the movies were so busy scouring the ruins for crumbs when they could just re-create civilization. We're more ingenious than that.
