Is it normal i have this opinion on aliens visiting our planet?
I was speaking to my boyfriend who is a mechatronic engineering student about alien life visiting our planet. My boyfriend wants to work on moving us closer to space exploration. His eyes are very much geared towards the stars.
It brought up a conversation about aliens. He has a very excited view of aliens visiting us, even though it's unlikely. I'm terrified, however. Just thinking about it for a few moments, I see it going in a similar fashion as Columbus when he landed in the islands. Even if they are benevolent, there is disease.
Specifically, what they could spread to us. We are completely different life forms and a disease not even on this planet will be quite a monster to treat.
There's also the other fears that come with colonialism and someone invading. We would be the weaker group if we came across a species that managed to understand and harness intergalactic travel. We wouldn't stand a chance.
I said, "If aliens came here, we should beg them to leave, and ask if they come across any other lifeform in this universe, please tell them there is nothing over here. It's barren."
