All good points. I don’t see why that means they wouldn’t come and exploit our resources too. Maybe after they used up the other planets. Maybe they just like destroying things. People like to imagine aliens as moved past all the petty shit that holds humans back, but the ship of the aliens that we meet might just be “rich kids on vacation and want to shoot an elephant” type of aliens.
Yes, but one of those would have clear signs we’d see from afar first, and the other is wholly separate of your earlier proposition that they’d be corporate representatives looking for resources.
