I have always been amazed at the effort to not consider, with our almost childish like capacity, there is something through space that is smarter than we are and has figured out how to expand their horizons well past our knowledge or technology. (But not our arrogantcy)
And if I was them, and oversaw the violence and idiotic actions of the highest of the food chains on this wet rock displayed, I wouldn’t walk in with an attempt to contact either. Here they’ve figured out how to handle space travel of light years, and we can’t even figure out what race or gender we are.
