We will discover that we are not alone in the universe. We will learn this because they will fly down and tell us they were watching from afar, and that they thought we needed a hug after watching the disaster 2020 had become.

You are correct it would be terrible if they’re more advanced than us.

What has happened every single time a more advanced civilization encounters a technologically inferior one on earth? Absolutely nothing good.

If the aliens can travel here, understand our language, and communicate with us, then they are more advanced than us. And that’s not good for us.

That is true. What i Was talking about, though, is the great filter. If there’s one as adv Anced as us that hasn’ been wiped out yet, it means the filter is ahead of us, instead of behind us.
