Are they Better?
I don’t know why everyone has this assumption that an alien race will be superior to us. Sure, those guys who fly giant pills over the ocean probably have some sweet aerospace technology that would make Elon Musk cum in his pants, but that doesn’t mean they know shit about anything else. To be honest, these aliens are probably not much different than us. Incredibly efficient at improving technology, but completely stupid when figuring out how to utilize it. Considering we now have electric razors specifically for shaving nutsacks, I can only imagine what dumb crap the aliens have created for themsleves. I bet they go over our strip malls in their flying saucers and look on depressively at all the pointless junk being fawned over, seeing our society as nothing but early stages of their own.
The aliens do have one thing however that humans don’t. That thing is the ability to mess up more than once. Since aliens can travel, they can probably go wherever they want if their home planet gets overrun with pollution, global warming, and whatnot. Is your planet being covered in toxic goo? Well nothing to fear. Just move to the next one over for a few years before that one gets overrun with giant man eating crabs and you can move to another one. I can see them now, silently observing our degrading planet in pity. A species unable to leave the living hell they have created. Aliens if you're hearing this, please do us a solid and teach us about interplanetary travel already. Humans can suck, but I promise we’re not all that bad.
