I respectfully submit to Mr. DeG Tyson that he is mistaken. We have been off the planet and we can make very large bangs with nuclear fission. I don't think we are your garden variety bipedal ape.

Comparing humans with ants isn't right but comparing them to a jungle tribe it is.

I think this statement is definitely possible. We have problems keeping the peace amongst ourselves on this rock alone.Until we can achieve that, I personally think we'll remain not ready for intergalactic affairs.
Why don't you trust Dr. Tyson Void?

Has ET already dismissed us as unintelligent?

Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson has suggested that we may already be in a post alien contact era.
While SETI focuses its efforts on finding evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence out in space, there are some who believe that aliens may have already been visiting us for some time.
In a recent interview with MSNBC, astrophysicist and Cosmos presenter Neil DeGrasse Tyson has put forward a third possibility, one that most of us aren't going to like. The concept centers around the fact that it is only by our own definition that we have determined what constitutes "intelligent" life in the universe.
"My great fear is that we've in fact been visited by intelligent aliens, but they chose not to make contact, on the conclusion that there's no sign of intelligent life on Earth," he said.
It has long been speculated that our understanding of the universe may be severely limited by our perceptual capabilities. Perhaps to a sufficiently intelligent alien species a human being appears no more intelligent than an insect - a primitive life form barely capable of comprehension.
"The audacity of us to even claim we can define intelligence," said Tyson."
Something Ive been saying for a long time...and seconded by Dr. Stanton Freidman in my question to him in the "ASK ME ANYTHING" thread.

"I don't see big disclosure coming. We seem unwilling to consider ourselves as Earthlings, instead we are totally nationalistic. Nobody speaks for planet Earth." Stanton Freidman
Since they are and have already been here and we don't get that....we should probably not wait up. Not until we at least...WISE UP and change.
Recently Neil deGrasse Tyson has been enjoying a PR campaign around the world and over the internet as he carries several elite agendas to the public. We personally feel his smug attitude towards his heavily misguided Pop Science is one of the driving reasons behind writing this article.

We are not "ants" or insubstantial, but we are behind where the ET's are now, and we need to get our act together.

We all like to think we're important, even if we carry a little self-loathing along as baggage. Too bad chances are extremely high that what we think doesn't matter the tiniest bit.

"listening to god"..i never heard god speak as god...only as all there is..
so what does "god" tell you?
But in all these decades of sightings, there is little to indicate an overtly hostile intent.
