I think we humans are probably a bit self-centered or narcissistic in our fascination with aliens, like the belief they may wish to control or take our planet, or something. Objects in space are all pretty much made out of the same elements, so we probably have nothing they would need if they have technology that makes traveling to us trivial. Space is so vast it would be easier for them at that technology level to obtain whatever they need from uninhabited planets or asteroids and avoid any unnecessary hassle or contamination. I’ve often felt that if we’ve actually been noticed by any alien presence, we’re probably regarded much the same way an anthill at the edge of a truck stop parking lot is, rarely acknowledged, much less cared about when we are.

Oughta give him a copy of one of those “literacy tests” they used to make black people take in order to vote back in the day that had confusing questions with subjective answers you could fail if the white person grading it felt like you did.
