Cariad, as you are so wise and have such a deep knowledge of arcane subjects . I wonder if you could answer a couple of questions that always puzzle me when contact with other extra non-terrestrials civilistions is discussed.
Why is it always assumed/known that other civilisations from outer space are so much more advanced in every way, scientifically, philosophically etc to Earth? Is it not possible that we are the most technologically and intellectually developed planet? I mean some planet has to be that and our chances are as good as any other.
The other question is, why is this invading civilisation always coming here with malice afore thought, determined to crush and exploit us? How do we know that? Isn't it possible that they are coming here in a spirit of love and friendship and on an equal basis, or even to learn from us?
