There are so many accounts of aliens, ufo, and strangness reported on this site daily, so for this meme lets say they are real and argue about this as a truth elsewhere.
We don't understand aliens well because we assume that any planet with our conditions, that has existed as long as we have, would be full of hairless sentient apes like us. Or any sentient thing really. The problem is we assume sentience is identicle. That we are as useless to aliens as ants are useless to us.
I will assume that aliens, given their tech and advanced minds, have already started their own intelligence/technology singularity. They are reproducing and combining more of themselves everyday. They will always seek better ways to improve their singularity though, and how would you do this if you have mastered all tech? Simple, you let the universe invent for you.
The aliens do not need to zap us with intelligence rays, or take our brains out and replace them with theirs, or anything like that. They have far more to gain from watching the universe create us, to watch us create ourselves, and see how we differ from them. This difference in minds is how they can upgrade their singularity, not by adding more of the same minds.
But evolution may be a little slow for them, so they send technology to catalyze the reaction. They don't reveal themselves fully, they want this world to grow as natural as it can. So there may have been ancient aliens to get the ball rolling here. As humans get ready they come and toss some more tech our way. Fiber optics, computers, internets. Nothing to crazy, they want us to think we invented it so we grow naturally. They don't want us worshiping them and begging them for tech everyday.
If they were just going to give us everything they have, they may as well just destroy us and take our atoms. The is no difference to them. They want to collect our minds as unique gems that only the universe can truly create as a masterpiece worthy of adding to their singularity. They love to dance in the sky and read our thoughts as we see them, like a scientist checking on his prized rats. Little do the rats know; that what they are, the scientist once was, and what the scientist is, they will become.
