AVOID THAT PLACE, THERE ARE IDIOTS THERE

For several reasons humans are the dominant sentient creatures on this planet. What if we had evolved slower? Would there be other species that we would have to share primacy with? Perhaps fellow tool-users? And some species not so communal? Imagine if our greatest writers and philosophers were, for instance, whales and ferrets.

What if the aliens are avoiding us because, as their wriggly, wriggly officers and scientists explain, our garbage is just not interesting enough. And we obviously never developed the ability to co-exist with other creatures.

Best wait another few million years before contact.
See if anything better turns up there.

A cross-species festival of psychedelics and heavy machine use.
Competitive. But highly social. There is food.

Fruit, carrion, and insects.



Space aliens probably watch our television broadcasts and think that we're dreadfully boring. Why didn't we ever create a long running series about the social aspects of trash disposal? Some of their races can sit and watch that on the telly for hours, and it's so fascinating! Humans seem to be obsessed with deodorant and handbags.
How uninspired.
