No matter what happens ultimately its funny that we got a trial run for first contact and the reaction was "shoot anything and everything" like the bad universe star trek

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

It's quaint. There is virtually no way that even well intending xenos could ever have a benevolent effect on humanity, and a serious risk that the xeno has interests at odds with us whether it is intelligent or not.

A best case xenobiology scenario would be if it were a harmless migratory space worm colony or some poo poo. If it's anything else we should be like the sentinelese

But what if, hear me out here: they aren't pieces of poo poo like us and our history is not a guide

I really really thought I had posted this exact same thing in the thread earlier today, but it looks like I only texted it to a friend 4 hours before the Washington Post posted that article. I figured that was what had happened.
