do you ever think about how ridiculous it is that white scientists looked into indigenous tribes/clans & couldn’t fathom that anyone outside of “civilization” could possibly know anything about space so they resorted to “aliens told them”

Honestly though if aliens were to make contact with us i believe it'd be indigenous people first.

I love how humans think we're THAT important to alien life forms when some of us are treating the Earth like a fish bowl & making it dirtier every day that passes
I'm projecting here, but I've always wondered why ppl think we're more important to aliens than say, other animals1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

So the point I'm trying to make is that the aliens will see those of us who DON'T act this way if at all.

I hear you. Perhaps! The point I'm trying to make is that I never thought we were that important or special compared to other animals/plants on Earth. So why humans? What makes us "better"?

I don't think its the us being "better", that might be your own projection. I think more than anything they would be curious how we are supposedly the most intelligent life on this planet yet we are wholly responsible for the destruction of ourselves/home.

Yup that's why I mentioned it. But the supposedly most intelligent part--will aliens judge it the same way you do? What about dolphins, whales, octopus, etc. How do we know that their intelligence won't be perceived as higher to aliens, or on the same level, as ours?

Yes hence the "supposedly". I wasn't making a definitive statement about the intellectual superiority of people to animals because I don't believe in it.

Me neither. Truly, I don't think and never thought humans were the better species. And I think we agree there, so thanks for going down the rabbit hole of thought with me
