I'd like to!!! But most humans are far too religious, superstitious, ignorant and stupid. They'd probably think the aliens are demons who are out to steal their souls, and while the aliens probably wouldn't suffer much damage from us, I could see humans hurting each over the issue.
@LilithoftheTrees I can see them turning up and me being like "Cool!!! Let's make friends" and then some psycho religious nutter being like "Allelse is one of them!!! GET HIM!!!" and then cutting my head off with a butter knife.
This is the current narrative among the sheeple and how those with so much power to lose would like to keep them that way - willfully ignorant and comfortably numb.
Yet these are just some of the things that would probably happen in the immediate aftermath of alien disclosure:
• Human origins may be discovered to not be limited to one planet. Our genus may be found among solar systems similar to our own.
• Due to the laws of physics and genetics being discovered to originate in a higher more structured order than once previously thought, a complete revisioning make take place among institutions of higher learning, thus calling into question the certainty of scientific knowledge
• Public trust of political institutions may be eroded and possibly be held in disrepute.
• The ability of the Armed Forces to secure National Security would be put in jeopardy and possibly lead to undue public fear and disorder.
• Monetary and financial institutions would suffer tremendously...currency value and industrial and commercial energy providers.
• Religion and history in the political context would probably suffer the most damage causing unprecedented upheaval in social and psychological well-being.
