I think the "They won't wanna contact us yet" thing is just a thing that people say. I think it doesn't really have any merit.
I think the real case is they are unable to contact us either permanently or temporarily.... or they are so significantly advanced that they can monitor us from a distance without us knowing and see it as a waste of energy to actually show up.
When was the last time we discussed morals with amoeba or the dangers of commercialism with cows?
We don't. we just use them for our benefit. Pray whatever advanced specie that shows up is kinder to us than we are to lower life forms...and even each other. They could just as easily enslave and decimate us just to teach a harsh lesson about cruelty and karma.
