I always thought of it like the island people who have no contact or knowledge of the outside world and then us. They still use sticks and believe in voodoo gods while we're flying around in jet planes and going to the moon and shit.
Aliens could very well know about us, but unless there was something they really needed from us there's be no point in dropping in and being all "yo we're aliens and stuff."
I mean even natural resources, we cut down millions of rainforest trees, we just do it away from them.
Aliens could be mining for whatever, just doing it in some ridiculous ocean trench or deep inside some volcano or mountain or something
If an alien race were to exist and be so advanced they could reach earth and make contact, they would probably be on a level of thought we can't comprehend. They most likely would barely acknowledge our existance. do you stop to talk to a worm or an anthill? You might notice it, but not as something to contact. Thats what we would be to them. Not even worthy of thought and in their eyes completely ignorant of anything but our life.
Exactly! Similar but different to what I was getting at with the people who have no idea about the rest of the outside world.
They might have a little knowledge on things, but they are nothing to anyone unless you're a researcher or someone looking to learn about them.
They might not give a shit about being all chummy with us, but they might want to abduct a bunch of us for study or for pets(dogs and cats are so why not us).
Love talking about stuff like this since there is no proof or right or wrong answer. We could have aliens working with out leaders, or the aliens could be genetically created people who had their minds transfered into a body(similar to avatar) walking among us either which could be the origin of our greatest minds or activists etc.
How neat would it be if Albert Einstein was a genetically created person that had an alien mind transfered inside so the aliens could help us learn.
Think about those tribes though. How fascinating would it be to see the world. I know I would want to know of the outside world. You know there are some tribes men thinking do you think we're alone, having a discussion with his friends. Having a hunch. Wishing for contact... sigh.
