99.9% of all conclusions regarding aliens and/or our potential interaction with them is 100% rooted in our understanding of the human race and science fiction fantasies.
This includes the scientists who based their search for “planets that can sustain life” because that search, at least based on most reports I’ve read on the subject, tends to presuppose life as *we* know it.
Even if we look at the way humans interact with each other on micro and macro scales, there’s no telling how we will interact 100, 200, 300, 1,000 or more years from now.
So how we’ll interact with another species from another world depends on too many factors to count and at least half that equation (the aliens) is a complete unknown that relies on too much conjecture to take seriously.
