Had an interesting discussion with my son last night.
It is based on the belief that there IS extraterrestrial life outside our solar system, and it is advanced to the point that interstellar travel is possible.
What would an advanced race think if they saw us? What if they could watch the abridged version of say... 4000 years, what would their opinion of the human race be?
Imagine yourself looking at the history of mankind, what would your thoughts be on human beings?
