"Would we, if we could, educate and sophisticate pigs, geese, cattle?
Would it be wise to establish diplomatic relation with the hen that now functions, satisfied with mere sense of achievement by way of compensation?
I think we're property.
I should say we belong to something:
That once upon a time, this earth was No-man's Land, that other worlds explored and colonized here, and fought among themselves for possession, but that now it's owned by something:
That something owns this earth -- all others warned off."

Not me, Charles Fort said it in 1919.
If you're not familiar with him, his name is where we get the word "Fortean" from.

Entertainment , I'd imagine we're a fascinating species to observe and possibly a fine example of what not to do if you want to survive into the future.
I guess they're waiting for our climactic finish.

There arent any "races" I dont think. They put on different faces to give you the illusion of choice and to get you to believe that the universe is teeming with life. The term outer space is relatively new.. in the 1800's. If you look back at the terms used and descriptions it is the heavens.. the void.. the expanse. Youre basically told how to think about space these days which is in great contrast to what ancients knew. Youre also told how to think of the constellations and the stories that go with them. Youre told how to interpret the astronomy and astrology of Mesopotamia and Sumeria... and every other ancient civilization.
Youre told we were stupid monkeys that needed alien intervention in order to evolve.. and Im of the mind that we began brilliant. Like most things.. they dont evolve.. they devolve. That aliens or whatever didnt need to assist the Sumerians or Egyptians or Indians.. that humans were so much more in the past than we are today. Give us a few more generations and we will be the mythical creatures throwing spears at the ancient satellite.

I think their capacity for war far exceeds ours, an if they didnt manage to wipe themselves out beforehand. I'm sure they will be very technological mature about it.
And if there was some super outer space Lord, it would make him the monster ether way.
