      If sufficiently intelligent aliens exist so that they can actually get here than we humans would be comparable to insects, well bacteria actually.

        If sufficiently intelligent aliens exist so that they can actually get here than they would be smart enough to stay the fuck away in case whatever is going on in our brains is contagious.

        I've heard this argument a lot but I think it's just edgy nihilistic bullshit. First of all you don't have a basis to claim that we'd either be insects or near-equals to these beings since we have no clue how any alien society would work or how advanced societies can even get.

        Secondly even if we were as insects to them that doesn't mean they wouldn't give a shit about what happens to us or at least Earth in general. Even in our shitty liberal societies we have dedicated conservationists that care a lot about "lower" life forms, imagine if the aliens had an actual communist society.

        Nobody really knows how it would play out if it turns out we've had ET visitation but "ayys are so advanced and we're so dumb and stupid and insignificants" is a really shallow analysis.
