A friend of mine brought up a good point the other day. If there is other life in the universe, it is either
1. dumber than/ equal to us
or
2. Uninterested in our dumbasses
To them, we're probably about as interesting as monkeys. Some of them may study us, so may live among us, but as a whole, we're just used as the butt of jokes on their planet, and nothing more. We're barely even acknowledged.
