Here are some of the theories posted by people on the thread:
Commenter Everett:
What if we’re still more advanced than the closest aliens and they haven’t come to a point where they could even think about visiting u
Commenter Drax:
Well look at our violent non-unified species, our history and all the bad shit that is going on in the world right now… If I was a species from extraterrestrial origins, I wouldn’t want to meet us either.
Commenter WhatzUz:
I personally think that if ETI does exist, we are being protected and shielded from it by the aliens themselves. The collection of other civilizations may have watched new civilizations like ours contact ETI too early and descend into anarchy and chaos. Thus they protect new comers on the block,like a wild life reserve.
What do you think? Feel free to post your theories!
Because Trump?
I’d put a bigger bet on abortion. Why bother with a race that kills its own unborn
Because of tha governments
We can’t even learn to deal with the differences we share with each other, what would make us as a people believe that we would be ready to accept an entire new species and except a widening of are universe. People are too close minded and ignorant that’s the real reason
#1 We tend to be violent and we have nuclear weapons
Why would they want to visit us?? We’re not even united globally. We’re a violent race and I wouldn’t want to come down here either. Ron Perlman said it best in Alien Resurrection. He said he’d rather go to hell or burn up in a firey crash than come to earth. Something like that. I think if they did decide to contact us, it would destroy us Were not ready for that yet. For Christ sake we still are racist.
Nature is violent. If aliens visited They would enslave us. Save mankind shoot an alien.
They have. There’s over 80 different intelligent species in and out of Earth every single day. Everyone’s just looking at their feet rather than what’s going on around them. Keep watching the news I’m sure you’ll find all the answers there (sarcastic)
