What are your observations of humanity and does humanity meet your criteria? From your perspective, is humanity ready for first contact?
No, humanity is not ready for contact with aliens. We're too tribalistic and we would probably just start a war with them for no reason and get annihilated. I actually pray to aliens every day that they will save me from this planet to be honest. I like to imagine there's some alien mother brain out there that is so advanced it senses my thoughts through the universe. It's like my own alternative to god that I imagine for myself.
