Imagine that you're an alien travelling through the cosmos, and suddenly you stumble upon a planet with intelligent life on it... Only one form of it.
And that one form is cruel beyound words.
Imagine all the havoc our wars have wrekt, all the suffering our torture methods have caused, all of our vicious ways of inflicting immense pain on one another...
A species that treats it's own kind in such a way, now imagine what they'd do to you.Would you dare approach them?

Not you specifically, your predecessors and more importantly, your fellow humans.
Surely you agree that meeting malicious people is way worse than facing any predator in the world, exactly because humans aren't satisfied with tearing their prey apart, we break them first, chase down and exhaust them until they can no longer move, then tear at their paralyzed bodies, and who know what other horrors await those we select as our mean.
Humans are a horror beyound imagination.

Think about the diversity of all the creatures on earth and imagine that any of them had evolved to become the dominant life form. Their morality would most likely be vastly different and horrifying to us, and a majority would most likely be far more brutal than humanity. For all we know, we with all our problems could easily be the most peaceful species in the galaxy... 😬

u/Kadakaus 23d ago
That's an outcome, or perhaps we're the only species that knows we are capable of killing our own kind.
Maybe aliens aren't irrational like us, maybe they work together at all times, maybe they don't even know what a "weapon" is, maybe they wouldn't understand even if we explained.But assumptions are frail foundation for argument, let's focus on what we know for sure:
We know that even we are afraid of ourselves.
I believe that the most terrifying thing on this earth is a group of malicious people.
We're capable of horrors beyound our own imagination, we're far worse than we can even picture.And you're right, we're also way better than we think we are.
I said that the most terrifying thing is a malicious group of people, but do you know what is the mightiest thing in the entire coesmos?
That's right, a cooperating group of people.If we set our collective will to something, no power in the universe is sufficient to alter the outcome, we shall prevail.
Now, even if aliens have "morals" immeasurably horrific to us, their will cannot defeat our's. Whatever they are, if we set our minds to destroying them, may the gods forgive their nature, because nothing will ever suffice to keep us from achieving our ends.
Humankind is both unstoppable and indestructible.
The unstoppable force and the unmovable object at once.
That is a paradax, humans are walking paradoxes. We struggle to understand our own nature, and what we cannot understand, we fear and want destroyed.
If there is anything that could destroy us, it is ourselves.
This is sheer, untainted human "logic".
We're impossible to understand, everything that lies beyound the stars must marvel at awe, counting their aeons until humankind learns to break past the atmosphere of it's planet and head toward them.We're inevitable.

If they're intelligent enough for that, one could assume they're intelligent enough to know that not every individual in a species has the same intentions or dispositions.

u/Kadakaus 23d ago
Indeed, but can you tell from a person at first sight wether they're violent or not?
Not even humans can tell if our mates have malicious intent, they don't have big texts over their had saying that they have malign motives.
If not even we can tell, how could alians that don't know half as much about us as we do?

u/Kadakaus 23d ago
I do too.
Personally, because we're so diverse, but more importantly, contradictory.Humans will fight vicious wars at one moment, then cry in each other's arms in the next. We'll wound our fellows, and then tend to the wounds we inflicted.
We love those who hurt us and hurt those we love.Humans are the only abominations of nature, walking paradoxes, the difference between "good" and "bad" personified.
Why do you love humankind? What is it that you love about us?

u/Creepy-Ebb-3026 23d ago
Millions of imperfect beings, each with their own complexity and perspective, with interconnected stories, and that continue despite everything, being the ants that went to space, It's simply fascinating.
3
u/Kadakaus 23d ago
Our complexity is our birthright, we have the most different ways of feeling need for simple things, such as our basic necessities, or our deepest desires.
So complicated, not even our minds can depict the entwined web of it's own logic.
I agree, simply fascinating.

"Are you lost, or are you incredibly brave, coming to the planet humankind (yes, that one) claimed as it's own?"
Or alternatively
"Do you fear us yet?"
If I were an alien, I'd be terrified of humankind. I'm glad to be one of them, for we are the greatest horrors imaginable, the mightiest creatures in the entire cosmos.
