I don't believe in aliens, but suppose there are other civilizations in the Universe that may be similar to ours.
of their automated processes - observational drones, organic robots, etc
See the great thing about all this is that "beliefs" are irrelevant. There is either empirical, observable, repeatable evidence or there isn't. That's how everything works.I don't believe in aliens, but suppose there are other civilizations in the Universe that may be similar to ours.
You forgot the Perry Farrell observation, "We'll make great pets!"Anything at or around our level of technology or below won’t be able to find us due to “the Great Filter” concept (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter)
IMO, any aliens above our level of technology will fall into one (or a few) of these categories:
*so advanced we would view them as god/gods upon contact.
*so advanced we would be uninteresting and ignored, like dust mites in an abandoned house. Or worse, not ignored but treated with such disdain that we could be wiped out; tossed away like a dirty kleenax
*so advanced that what we might mistake for alien life/contact is just one of their automated processes - observational drones, organic robots, etc
*so advanced they are completely unrecognizable and unable to communicate or possibly even see we exist
*probably a hundred other scenarios
Indeed. As I believe we'll terminate ourselves before a contact as portrayed in the fantasies will occur. It s based on trends regarding technology advancements, human behaviour and the zero real proof of past alien contact. Still a belief though as I don't really know anything.See the great thing about all this is that "beliefs" are irrelevant. There is either empirical, observable, repeatable evidence or there isn't.

I think they’d watch Dime shotgun beers onstageBack in the day I always thought if aliens came down near a Pantera concert they would turn around and never come back......
They’ll eat you first.One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I for one welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a keyboard warrior, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.
We know for a fact that there’s undocumented species here based simply on the number of new species we document right here on our little wet pebble every year, both living and recently or long-since extinct. That’s good enough reason alone to assume that there are or were myriad species on countless other wet pebbles in countless galaxies in an infinite number of universes.I believe there's more to this planet than we know...Three quarters of the Earth is covered by water! We keep searching outer space, but there's probably life here that we don't know about yet.
This should be on the first inside page of every guitar magazine... No seriously...
Initially read this as “Belgian waffle” and I have no regrets.I'm interested since the Belgian wave in 1989.
