This is coming from a discussion between a friend and I.
We both believe in "life on other planets" theory, but what I wonder is, what if we're the advanced beings? Hear me out.
Let's just say, we manage to figure out how to travel throughout space quickly and find another race of intelligent life-forms (living in houses, pants, the whole sha-bang), only we're the "freaky futuristic aliens from space" and they're the "less advanced aliens".
What do we do then?
Do we leave'em alone? Watch them to see how they advance? World domination?
What if they're in a terrible state? Wars, hunger, over-population. Do we help them or do we leave them to their fate?
Personally, I'd leave them alone but leave something to monitor them. I'd love to see how another race would advance.
What do you think/ what would you do?
