Adjusted Sanity Wrote:But we aren't a virus. We're an intelligent, developing species. I assume any advanced alien race would have had similar origins and almost equally ugly histories. I doubt they just eliminate us for not being at their stage of development. It would be arrogant of them to decide our fate.
My point is that compared to them, we may seem like what viruses appear to us. If that were true, I doubt they would bat an eyelash, or whatever aliens have, while proceeding to make sure we don't contaminate the universe.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
