![]() ![]() We will be fair game when those “self-acclaimed civilized” aliens come for us, to exploit us … me, you and planet blue. On the other hand, if the presumed aliens in outer space are uncivilized and technically on our level, we have even more reason to stop making them aware of us through space exploration, as we would only be heading into an arms race with them, and eventually into war with another “self-acclaimed civilization” at our “level of development.”Īnd if those presumed aliens – not civilized at all, only “self-acclaimed as civilized” – have outreached our technological development but for some obscure reason have not detected us yet, we might be better off keeping a low profile for ages, hoping, praying those “advanced barbarians” will never detect us or our interstellar probes – naively dispatched – because once they do, we’re done for, we are toast. So why not leave those aliens alone, as they obviously do not wish to be bothered by us? Frankly, if I were one of those far-advanced aliens, I would try my best not to be detected by humans (telescopes, observatories, screens). In short: When they are detected by us, it will only mean trouble. So assuming the existence of intelligent life in space, of alien civilizations far more advanced than us – why not, amid countless galaxies in the vastness of the universe – those presumed aliens might have no appetite for making contact with a species that still espouses the idea that the whole universe exists for us alone, narcissistically considering ourselves the only intelligent life in the universe. Psychologically speaking, humankind obviously projects, externalizes and exports its internal struggles and issues to the environment, even to outer space. ![]() Our history of violence until today proves this best. How so? Despite advancements in brain science, even for everyone with half a brain it makes sense: Humankind is out for trouble in outer space. Since those presumed aliens have not approached us – prominently, for everyone to see – obviously those intelligent beings don’t wish to be detected by us or to interact – probably because of being intelligent enough to stay invisible … Let’s do a thought experiment: If there were intelligent life in outer space with knowledge of humankind, willing to communicate, we might already have heard from them. But will we Earthlings survive, considering our treatment of ourselves, others and nature? Our world is in trouble, only worsened, amplified by us becoming many. Ours is a complex world led by many characters driven by mental issues – “complexes” Swiss psychiatrist C G Jung described – modern-day conquerors overcompensating and not shying away from seeking opportunities to make their issues an issue for this world and beyond.Īren’t scientists’ “best intentions” and “best inventions” worthless, when not all of us benefit but only the wealthy few infamously known for their unwillingness to share? ![]() In other words, astronomers, astrophysicists and entrepreneurs strive to conquer the last frontier: space exploration. Why I am doubting all that? Presumably, it’s not one single reason, but all combined building the impetus for the search for Earth 2, for precious resources and other worlds. We usually only want to know something so that we can talk about it”? I doubt it. Or is it all about the personal gain, thrill, pastime, curiosity or even vanity of astronomers and astrophysicists naming discovered space objects after themselves – unaware of the French mathematician, physicist and philosopher Blaise Pascal’s (1623-1662) quote: “Curiosity is only vanity. ![]() Is it all about the astronomers’, astrophysicists’ and entrepreneurs’ very own way to project themselves away, into space mentally, to long for faraway space objects, to leave all their earthly problems behind, or experts’ cry for help to be absent for another place, away from their fellow species? I doubt it. ![]()
