Forgot the name of Stanislav Lem's short story about the intergalactic committee gathered to decide whether to allow humans to join in; after a short and sweet (although misrepresenting) introduction by some alien, another species stands up and gives a speech on why humans are scum. Lem gives such a compelling argument I decided if I ever meet an alien race I'd be the first to barge into the militarized compound, push aside the cliche-mumbling americans and give it a copy of this book.
Also I'd play for it the music video for "Do The Evolution" by Pearl Jam.
Just to be on the safe side, I'd masturbate on it's face - it'd be a tight schedule, with the guards shooting at me and what not, but I think I can make it.

I'd draw the visual proof of Pythagorean theory. I assume that would be fairly important for space travel, and would want the thing to see that humans are intelligent.

The worst thing we could do would be to send out a probe giving them information on our location and civilisation without learning anything ourselves. Any potential wars would suddenly be very brief and one-sided

> implying that artifact still exists in readable form

sorry, but even the slightest amount of damage is FOREVER and no matter what "reconstructive" technology the aliens use, the best they'll get is "this was a circular object" and nothing else. any damage at all? audio is now corrupted and impossible to read those sections. hell, a single fucking dust particle could make the needle of the alien-built recorder to skip... or the ridges and indentations are so worn away by solar wind, it's basically been erased by time.

as for the OP

This is also from Lem: he argues in Solaris that we could never understand an alien life form, as we cannot even understand ourselves.
Whatever alien we're confronted with, we have no reason to assume we could commence a conversation with it.

Bullshit. What don't you understand about humans?

Any mathematician on /sci/ wishes to confirm/deny that math is indeed an objective description of the universe, and that math developed and used by aliens will not be fundamentally different (besides things like base count)?

How do you ask in Math, "do the females of your species have a human-compatible vagina"?

"Bubbles" of consciousness in spacetime exist in the gap junctions in your brain (Inside of neurons exist microtubials [Mini quantum computers] and inbetween microtubials are the gap junctions) When a signal "passes through" (jumps instantly) the gap junction, it allows you "access" to consciousness, which is more a part of spacetime than something else. Humans do this about 40 times a second. Attempts to block communication through the gap junction resulted in various types of insanity, which SHOULD be classified as non-conscious/less conscious (think lucid dreaming).
