I absolutely know, but it still hurts that you actively communicated that to me.
My actual belief in why we’ve never seen aliens - they’re out there but don’t want anything to do with us

Yea, I also hate saying hello to my neighbors that just barely evolved past shit-slinging to… less literal shit slinging.
Would you assimilate me? I’d assimilate me. I’d assimilate me so hard.
Yeah! You heard her! Bug off! The All-Knowing All-Assimilating Trash Cube has spoken!
(For those too young to remember The Fraggles: her name was Marjorie and she was perfect.)
On my walk this morning, I thought about Vulcans embracing logic to overcome their violent, angry nature. I think we’d need to do something like that to be accepted into any rational space-faring society. Sadly, that is beyond our ability as a species. I think Earth will need to wait for the next intelligent species to arise after we kill ourselves off to have any chance.
Yeah humans are unchangeable, and can’t coexist with any other species. The range of potential ways we can be is just too small, and I’m pretty sure who we are under industrial capitalism is representative of most of it.
Really it’s always better, when someone isn’t good enough, to just completely discard them and start over again. On’e a thing is made it can never be repaired or changed. We are, after all, evolutionary R strategists; it’s just natural for us.
