Question

who were not afraid of the twin aliens? Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Imagine what it would be like to come across an intelligent, alien species that found us and came to Earth. From War of the Worlds to Independence Day, the overwhelming majority of alien depictions are of malevolence, violence, and the destruction of any galactic competitors. Whether they enslave us, destroy us, or devour us, our fictional view of aliens shows them as hostile, selfish, and with complete disregard for humanity. From Elon Musk to David Brin to Stephen Hawking, many fine human minds fear exactly this fate. Yet there’s no evidence at all that there’s any malevolence to aliens. In fact, for the evidence that does exist, hiding our presence from aliens may be the worst decision humanity could possibly make.

If aliens are out there, hiding our intelligence and curiosity from them would serve to harm only us, and wouldn’t prevent our world from being found by them.

There are three possible scenarios regarding intelligent, spacefaring aliens, assuming their existence:

1. Either they have no interest in making contact with another intelligent species,

2. Or they do have interest and their intentions are benevolent/benign,

3. Or they have interest and their intentions are malevolent.

The first possibility seems the most unlikely. What other reason is there to actually be a spacefaring species, if you’re not interested in contacting whatever other species might be out there? Nevertheless, if they’re not interested, there’s no reason to believe they’ll come for us.
