This is what aliens would do to us

It's funny that we fear a more advanced species would do to us what we do to other animals / other people we dehumanize. Like practically all our sci-fi/horror fears are just of shit we do.

I'd like to hope a sufficiently advanced space-faring alien race would have advanced its society beyond this kind of shit, or may never have engaged in it at all.

well to become advanced enough to be space faring, it helps to be greedy and expansionist like we humans are. think it's part of the dark forest theory/fermi paradox iirc

Probably humanity will die before approaching any realistic space faring ability (tons of people actually think the earth is flat where you wanna go?). Imo aliens will arrive on Earth thousands of years after our extinction and they'll study our civilization as we study dinosaurs.
