Humans are so cute. The reason you haven't met us yet is simply that you're not ready. How do you expect.to love your galactic neighbour if you can't even love YOUR OWN PLANET.

Please stop killing each other and make Earth great again (sorry). We can help you build the next one.

Signed, Your friendly neighbourhood aliens

I have always disliked the assumption that aliens are somehow supposed to be highly more intelligent and peaceful beings. They could be cannibal sloths for all we know.

I'm a Vulcan doing the field portion of my degree in Human Studies. Ironically, I tell this to humans regularly, but they seem to think I am joking.

We've met already. Y'all just don't seem to know it.

Why would an alien race, who sees our very corrosive atmosphere as poisonous, care if we do things to it that make it less habitable for our particular species? Small thinking imo.
