Assuming we're the ones to meet them and not vice versa we'd probably be dealing with a bunch of extraterrestrial animal species rather than a finding one dominant, technologically advanced species as is on earth.

Assuming this, we'd probably attempt to domesticate whatever species found there, which would possibly lead to some new exotic pets.

Enslave it.

Then they can campaign for equal rights and they'll never be a threat to us.

Well they're intelligent enough to find out where we live and fly here, so pretty fucking intelligent.

Oh. Then ask what they want, because realistically we can't beat that. Perhaps only if we spread out and hide and fight back guerrilla style while trying to figure them out.

The thing is. It would not end well. If we are talking the kind of contact where they just cruise on down and say "Hi guize, we come in peace, and we are happy to see another sentient life form coming along!"

And it was an honest thought not like "Lol let's get them to trust us so we can blow them up"

Let's even assume they don't do it in a major public place. But they get the "important" people to notice and talk to. Furthermore let's assume that we don't take offensive action and try to kill them.

The honest truth? We're not ready. Mentally. Some of us, higher thinkers would be interested, curious, have questions. However, the vast majority of the retards that walk among us, would freak out. If this got out, via some assholes you tube video via his iPhone5 or whatever. There would be mass panic, riots, looting, killings, possibly even mass suicides becuase of religious or other dumb reasons. People simply could not cope with the idea we are not the utmost advanced civilization there is, or that we are -not- the only thing in the universe.

I honestly think that is part of the reason we've never had a first contact sorta deal. If they are out there, they probably could predict the outcome of a first contact, instead waiting for us to change and wait for a better time to go "Hello out there. Hey, we've been watching you. we feel you are finally stable enough to handle our contact, good for you."

Now this is assuming they come to -us-. Currently that is the only option because we do not have slipstream, faster than light, or other super quick traveling methods to get to far away lands or send a probe to seek out these "Goldilocks planets".

All in all, first contact, even if absolutely peaceful would be devastating once our retarded mass media got hold of it, as our current mental state and society as a whole stands.

We've already met intelligent life forms, but the government is covering it up and keeping it a secret.

Well if it comes to war those aliens better pray we don't win, cause if we do its quite likely it'll be space-auscwitz for them, offcourse victory would be unlikely.


by all means... ask

Introduce it into the market as a healthy and nutritious food, trade it as a commodity among the countries and find some way to make sure that it's toxic to the environment yet impervious to public scrutiny.

There is no "Faster than the speed of light."
I think the only reason we think they will try to enslave us and fight us is because thats what we do.
I think how we believe others will treat us is a true reflection about how we will treat others.
Bullshit "golden rule" type logic aside, I dont think they would try to do anything against us, because intelligent life forms can add to their intelligence through us, just like it can add to ours.

That wasn't my point at all. I wasn't saying the aliens would enslave us. I was saying, even if it was completely peaceful encounters we'd go apeshit becuase were not, as a whole mentally ready for contact from another intelligent species. Even if they were let's say space elves and looked very similar to us. with enough differences to be called aliens. If they were drastically differ, like space squid people, then ok it'd just be magnified.

My whole point is that humanity, in the modern age is fucking stupid, and would not react well to aliens. To many religious people would flip shit, to many people would not trust them just becuase they are different, it would cause massive, catastrophic problems. Yes our whole worldly views would change, and with time they could come to be accepted, like anything else. Though at first, there could be problems for these visitors because we have a tendency to act rashly and do dumb shit.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I was only quoting you to correct your "Faster than light" statement, the rest is my post. (Nothing to do with you)
Should have made that more clear.
