I'm surprised nobody thinks there would be death and mayhem from people panicking or mass hysteria.

Humans hunt for trophies.
They step on bugs just to see them squish.
We put animals in zoos for our enjoyment.
They don't need our resources like water and gold because those are all over the cosmos.
Maybe they want our chlorophyll.
For some reason I can't see them being here for our benefit.

So if the scenario is a pending alien invasion you think people will go to work the next day at the calendar factory? Gotta have those kitten pics...
No, it will all depend on how the disclosure is presented.
No threat, and you are likely right.
Otherwise, not so much.

I believe alien invasion only exist in Hollywood movies.
Advanced spices would be past wars,religion and aggression.
If not.. they would destroy them self before becoming to the stage of interstellar travel
The question is.. would they want to contact us before we prove we can reach the next level, or destroy our self.
But what if they are right? I mean basically right. Not that Jesus died for your sins or there is only one God or that unless you wear Mormon underwear you are going to hell. I mean what if the personality survives death? What if we go to another plane of existence? What if reincarnation is a fact? What if the only rational explanation for UFOs is essentially the IDH and we are a part of it? What if the New Age Whackos are correct? Wouldn’t that just suck for Science?
