Aliens Visit to Earth: Their View of Humanity in Six Paragraphs ©

A team of aliens from a distant planet studied Earth for a decade. They learned several languages and other information from their interpretation of intercepted communications. This team decided to visit Earth. Here is the report they sent back to their planet.

Humans are the dominant specie on this planet and they control everything. They have divided their planet into 193 countries with boarders largely determined by the winners of wars. These humans have not developed a global government for their planet. Therefore, to resolve differences among countries, the humans either negotiate or conduct wars. They spend enormous amounts of resources on defense and have killed millions of other humans rather than settling differences in global courts. (Note: Humans have created something they have mislabeled, “United Nations.” It is not a government; it does not legislate; it cannot enforce.)

 To “protect” themselves and threaten others, nine countries have developed nuclear weapons. They have a combined total of 15,000 of these nuclear weapons. Most of their own experts agree that use of these weapons in a major nuclear war would end human life on this planet.

 Nuclear weapons are not the only device humans have developed for destroying their own existence. They have been burning carbon fuels for a century, which has increased the density of their atmosphere, contributing to the warming of their planet. Some humans comprehend this problem, but are unable to agree and implement the necessary action to avoid their ultimate extinction. Humans should study the history of life on their sister planet, Venus, where recent temperatures have risen to more than 800 °F (427 °C) due to the increasing density of their atmosphere.

 If humans were to create a global government to eliminate weapons of mass destruction and protect the environment necessary to support their lives, they might continue to inhabit their planet for centuries. Achieving this success may require an accelerated evolution of their mental capacities.

 In summary:

• Humans, who dominate the planet Earth, remain a barbaric specie.

• Humans have created multiple ways to destroy the environment required to support their own life.

• While we have enjoyed our interactions with humans, their collective decision-making reveals a vast over-estimate of their own intelligence.
