personally I'm a little concerned about meeting alien life. If the universe is incredibly diverse with many different types of lifeform then how might an arbitrary one of those view us?
We proliferate incredibly quickly, we have limited care for our environments, but most importantly our primary means of sustinance is to consume other forms of life. To the point that we consider it an art form, we spend vast amounts of energy perfecting, discussing or advertising the means of cooking and eating the flesh of other life forms. To us its normal but surely to an alien who gains sustinance by some other means; we're absolutely terrifying. Akin to a devouring swarm.
