The encouraging: Our elaborate systems of philosophy, our millenia-long history of art and culture, our investigations into the history and nature of the universe and our science.

The threatening: For the past hundred thousand years, we have always been at war with ourselves, somewhere. Above everything else, we are dedicated to our own survival and we have grown extremely good at that.

Like he said.

"Because when you kill a man, you don't just kill who he is. You kill who he was, and who he can be. We have the potential to change, to better ourselves, or to lessen ourselves. That's our choice, and if you are to judge a people based on their actions, you are ignoring the potential for greatness in humanity. If you feel we are worth wiping out, I can't stop you. But you're no better."

-Why not? We've got oceans, beautiful women, this emotion called love. According to the old vids, we have everything they want.

Who says I'd want to save humanity? Most people are fucking worthless!
Typical thoughtless retard who thinks hes a cynic because he watches Yahtzee's videos. What about the ones you love, and if nothing else what about yourself

I'd say if they're judging other civilizations to see if they should wipe them out or not, we should become best friends, we have so much in common.

Find a bunch of really hot women and be all like "here ya go, enjoy!"

Seriously though eff if I know, I'm a cynic who very much doubts our species being around in a few hundred years with or without alien intervention =P

What do you say/do?

You've all probably seen movie/game (coughgreenlanterndaytheearthstoodstillcough) where aliens debate on whether they should commit to sparing/saving Earth.

I figure this is probably a difficult question for pessemistics.
What "Saving" or "Sparing"?

If they came to earth to kill/exploit/enslave us then that'll be a hard sell as we've been doing it to each other since... well there was never an era we didn't do it.

But if it is "save" as in the Aliens save us from doom such as:
-asteroid hurtling towards earth
-global warming cooking the planet
-other alien civilisation attacking us
-nearby supernova

Then that might be possible as we can make the case that we should be saved - even though at huge costs to them - because we would do the same if we could. Why? Because as intelligent beings we must know more about the universe and if Earth is destroyed, so much history, experience, perspective and insight would be wiped out. So to for their planet/civilisation.

Give them a box set of Star Trek: TNG. Picard makes about three of these speeches before the second act of every episode.

The reason they have for destroy us in the first place must be pitiful if they are asking us about it. Maybe they should come back when they have a better excuse and will to do it.

Saving, sparing?
Rich words from beings threatening us.
