Humanity devours all, an extra-terrestials point of view.

"The Truth is out there." : Agent Mulder - Xfiles

That may very well be, but humanity isn't going to find it anytime soon.

This morning I found myself pondering about extra-terrestial phenomenas, and the question, "is there life on other planets?". Inevitably, this got my twisted little mind plumbing through thoughts of society and humanity as a whole and how humanity would look to any extra terrestial entity observing us.

As an extra terrestial entity observing humanity I see:

A creature with a short time of life consciously destroying themselves to a varying degree through their existence, be it with unhealthy food, unhealthy behaviour, self-destructive or masochistic behaviour, or the simple solutions the creature uses to make their life easier.

A creature destroying their own environment, not only ruining the nature around them with their behaviour but also on a global scale, cutting down the trees that produce the air they need to breathe, contaminating the waters they need to drink from, destroying the natural resources providing the medicine they could use to stay healthy and live longer. Not only this, the human creature also destroys the atmosphere they breathe in by cutting down a great surplus of trees creating their air, it also destroys the ozon layer protecting their planet from the unbelievably vast universe, and contaminates their planets orbit with junk and scrap from their space experiments.

As I shrug my extra-terrestial shoulders and wonder what the hell kinda creature would do this to their enciroment I stop and look at what it does to eachother, not only do they keep vital survival resources from eachother, basic resources the creature needs to live, like water, food, shelter, it also refuses to share these vital resources if put right next to one another. You could look at a small area of their earth and watch one human starve while the other human is watching while growing fatter. Resources aside, the species also kills eachother in vast amounts, this usually over less useful resources like the fossile energy they use to run vehicles(oil) and stones of use whatsoever(diamonds) and a soft metal not useful for anything(gold).

What kind of a self destructive race is it that kills eachother over useless resources, kills eachother for fun, kills eachother for stepping on the same earth they all share, keeps vital resources from eachother and ensures eachothers death, and what hope can such a specie have in a length of time? The human species kills themselves, kills eachother, kills the earth they live on, what kind of hope can such a specie, not to mention their earth have?

This all lead to the following conclusion:
1. If an extra-terrestial was to observe humanity, he would leave, warn his species and any/all other extra-terrestial species they may or may not know, of the human species, and never come back.

2. Humans need to turn this self-destructive pattern around, or there will be nothing left to destroy.
