Meanwhile, scientists have learned what people would say on making first contact with aliens and it is not “take me to your leader”.
Instead, they are much more likely to ask the extraterrestrials for help. Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence scientist Doug Vakoch said: “One of the striking commonalities — men and women, young and old — was a message ‘please help’.
“A sense that we are in a very precarious time in our development as a civilisation,” said Dr Vakoch. “Our technologies are greater than our social stability. So if we make contact with another civilisation that may be more advanced they may have got through the tech bottleneck and may have some advice,” he said.

Or maybe they will figure our planet is situated right in the middle of a good galactic hyperspace bypass route:

Don’t poke the bear!
Proves that no matter how smart you are supposed to be, atheism will undo all that and make you stupid.
Advice — go back to 572 and get rid of that Mohammad guy.
don’t tell any one here that Heinline was a libertarian.

I was in a packed theater during the Clinton years when ‘Independence Day’ came out. When that scene was shown, the theater broke into cheers.
I knew it before I even clicked the ping.

Who could hate us? we’re so cute.
If they have the technology to bridge the distance between us in anything less than a thousand centuries, then they have the technology to detect our existence whether or not we send out a targeted message.
This is all silly.
What isn’t silly is building better space telescopes to detect the existence of earth-like planets in our galaxy.
James Webb is a start but we need much more. I would like to see a telescope on the south pole of the moon.
Too late, I’m already here AND awake.
That kid and his stereo are very sorry about it now.
Now that he is sporting a brand new spine parasite.
I’d like to see a telescope as large as the orbit of the moon. The bigger the array the greater that data gathering capability.

As aliens supposedly cut samples out of supposed abductees, the 'victims' remember clearly how their tormentors claimed to have come billions of miles to warn that the human race is not being a good steward of the Earth. The demagogue Carl Sagan started his Order of the Dolphin and was involved (in his credit-taking, self-appointed frontman way) in SETI. The variable he used for duration of a technical civilization in the Greenbank Formula was ten years, that was his estimate for the length of time a civilization with the ability to destroy itself (nuclear weapons) would endure. Ridiculous imbeciles, the whole lot. Thanks BenLurkin, extra to APoD.
It’s the ALIENS who say “Take me To Your leader”, NOT the Humans.
Sheesh.
And this guy calls himself a SCIENTIST?
