Like, we're destroying the one place we know is a sure bet on where we can prosper if we keep it healthy, but instead the world's richest man is trying to expand to other planets while this one's ability to sustain life is in jeopardy. IMO that makes us potentially a very stupid species compared to a species that doesn't really care about meeting other aliens because they value the life on their own planet far more than we do.
This seems backwards to me, since the latest variant of what we call Humans is the only species on this planet, that - to the best of my knowledge - ever attempted (a) leaving it and (b) destroying their own habitable climate (along with that of a large portion of all other species) on the planet.
in my humble opinion (a) Is the marvel of international science collaboration, probably one of the highest achievements of this species, (b) on the other hand is fueled by greed and incompetence in equal quantities and according to Hanlons razor, we shouldn't equate this to malice, even though it comes very easily to members of our species.
