...especially of the intelligent kind, it will be interesting to see how
much of a shock humanity is in for, despite decades of "dealing"
with it on a science fiction level.
I think most people won't be able to handle it. They still think
Earth goes round the Sun, at least in a metaphorical sense.
Why do you think there have been so many posts on the Internet
as of late declaring we are alone in the Cosmos, on a level that
practically stinks of fear over any kind of logic other than Oh, they
have contacted/landed yet, so they must not exist?
Maybe the biggest fear of all is - they are out there, they are
superior to us, and they couldn't care less if we exist.
Wanna make your notch in the galaxy humanity? Then start
growing up and take your head out of your ass.
