What happens if we actually DO meet intelligent life from other planets? They would of course have other classifications and names for things found in the universe. So what would be the first step in forming a galactic union?

>> No.3313449

Establish communication by exchanging periodic tables, or if that fails, visual representation with atoms and electrons as a form of communication

>> No.3313448

Knowing humans, we would just try to kill them all. Humans are rather good at killing things for no good reason.

>> No.3313461

watch "contact"
it would be like that.

Communication with pure logic in the form of abstract math.

>> No.3313462

they would pick up on our tv channels and see we are duled by morons and have moronic interests like hipsterism and we allow such things as modern pop music.

They would immediately identify humanity as a bunch of idiotic faggots, most of which believe in a big man in the sky controlling everything. Thery will also realise most of humanity is stupid to the point of retardation.

they would likely harvest our planet for resources

I don't know about them, but humans will probably try to fuck them.
Literally and figuratively.

I'm sure that Christians and Muslims would be quick to proselytize.

well given that god created us equally it would be a bound through him

>> No.3313997

Listen to neil tyson's lectures on the subject, they would probably be so intelligent as to they wouldn't want to talk to us, in the same way that we don't seek out earthworms for intelligent conversations

This is horrible logic.
We're super intelligent.
We flip our shit when we find new species here.
Infact, we flip our shit when we find rare species we know about here.

We're super intelligent - and we'd flip our shit if we found microbes elsewhere in the universe.

But, for some reason, intelligent life somewhere else wouldn't flip their shit at finding microbes, let alone us, if we contacted them?

I think that's bullshit.

I would beg the intelligent life to grant me asylum. Take me into your ship. Take me across the universe. I will do whatever you tell me to do.

Fuck this planet yo.

Humanity is the toughest race of bad asses in this plain of existence.
I'm 100% sure that even if aliens invaded us, we would have the testicular fortitude and upper muscle mass to catapult ourselves onto their ships and start fucking pro wrestling every piss ass excuse of a superior race all over their ship.

And then mate with their women.

Doing shit like that would give the aliens a legitimate reason to annihilate us on sight. Let's say that there is some sort of galactic union, the moment they see (or hear) us wanting to stick our colonizing dick into foreign civilizations would be the moment that they arm themselves for war and what makes it worst is that they are most likely way more advanced than us which would make the war easy for them. Inb4 the Seven Hour War from Half-Life 2.
