For this hypothetical, let’s say it’s not aliens actually visiting earth. But let’s say JWST finds a planet maybe a few hundred light years away, and we can see lights and cities and maybe spaceships or stuff like that around it. So no contact, but 100% proof there’s intelligent life out there. How would humans (and different groups of humans, like conservative Christians) react to this?

    Lots and lots of agitation about them being a threat. A little bit of discourse on whether they would make good livestock. Most of the progressive currents being driven by people who want to fuck the aliens.
