RE: I Sure As Hell Hope Some of Their Wisdom Wears Off On Us.
I'm so glad it put you more at ease! Most sci-fi books/movies tell the story from a fearful place because people are more drawn to that negative bias. I feel like civilizations that have the kind of tech to travel those vast distances probably have solved most of their "big problems" and probably wouldn't even need natural resources. Hopefully one day we'll meet them and find out. : )
i think you're right on both counts - fear based stories do seem to have a draw (although not for me, I generally avoid the stuff!) and I like to think that those aliens are just as curious as we are if not more. Who knows, maybe they might even want to be helpful and offer ways to save our civilization from killing itself!
