RE: Is Humanity Prepared For The Discovery Of Alien Life?
The problem with this question is that it can't be answered in the context of our current society.
We walk up to the aliens and try to ask them anything...
"What is the shape of the earth" (because surely they know) and their answer would be, "None of the above."
They couldn't explain it because we don't have a word for the shape yet.
And such is all the interactions with aliens.
But, they are already here and already making contact.
"Take me to your leader" has no meaning for an advanced race that has outgrown govern-cements.
So, if the ufo landed, I would sit there and wait for them to approach and make contact in their form. (of course, it could be a USSA secret space program craft, and then I would run away)
Nice answer... the problem is that we as humans would say they think somewhat like us, when their perception of reality could be 180 degrees different on how we would think. We might be trees or rocks to them or whatever. Still I hold the hope that mathematics could bridge the communication gap we more than likely would have. Nice last sentence lol
