 Aliens have already contacted us using DMT and Psilocybin mushrooms that they seed throughout the galaxy

The problem with space is that it's boring.

In media space has aliens, lasers, mysteries left behind by the ancients... and everyone gets to cruise the galaxy with warp drive and artificial gravity. It's cool and exciting and a new adventure always awaits!

In real life space has nothing. No aliens, no lasers, no ancient mysteries... and you travel at glacial speeds while peeing in a bag and eating lovely food. It's tedious and lame and nothing is out there but new kinds of rock and radiation.

That's because we aren't looking properly!

We haven't found evidence of anything to the contrary, though. Even the "fossilized bacteria" the other poster referred to is, at best, a theory and not indicative of extraterrestrial life.

We're alone. And that's a good thing, because if there happens to be intelligent life out there, it will be hostile. Peter Watts' book Blindsight does a pretty good job of explaining why in the quote on this page. Look at human history -- the entirety of our technology is based on either conflict or information gained from conflict. Even our space program is a result of war research; we went to the moon just to whip out our collective dicks and wave them furiously at Russia.

They won't be hostile, most likely they will be apathetic

Are humans hostile to ants? Only the most mentally ill of us are actively hostile to animals or creatures "below" us.

More likely that intelligent "life" will be AI or machines after all bio life retreats into VR. And who's to say that we aren't just self replicated machines seeded throughout the universe?

If we do enough dmt the machine elves will just tell us how to build portals

The truth is that WE are the machine elves, just we took too much anti-DMT or whatever and are stuck in this dimension until we die
