That's not even a good troll.
Natural selection doesn't favor the retarded either. What's your excuse?
I'm not trolling. In point-of-fact I'm dead serious.
Everyone seems convinced that a spare-faring race is automatically going to be highly-evolved "enlightened" goody-two-shoes who only have our best interests at heart (like Coriolus envisions) and would never ever be aggressive or warlike.
Frankly I find that view retarded in the extreme, as by definition one cannot become the
dominant species of a planet by being pacifistic, and only the dominant species of a planet will survive long enough to evolve intelligence, technology and space travel.
The assumption that a star-faring race would completely set aside the very traits that allowed them to travel to the stars simply because they
can travel to the stars is incredibly naive and the very definition of "wishful thinking".
highly evolved and enlightened doesnt have anything to do with it.
are you good at chess?
are all your friends equally as good?
just because you cant beat all of them doesnt mean you are more highly evolved and enlightened than the people you lose to. it just means youre not as good a tactician as them.
perhaps an alien race just never evolved the desire to conquer, and destroy?
maybe playing chess is a concept thats beyond them btu they can make really powerfull weapons and defensive shieldings?
pascifism and enlightenment are not synonyms and do not necessarily go hand in hand.
thats a vegan idea they use to justify their retarded religion to themselves. the rest of us laugh at them.
and being unwilling to take up violence doesnt mean you arent capable of being violent when a need arrises
