aliens might be hippies The best we could hope for from a benevolent alien race with tech / society advanced enough for interstellar travel is that they treat us they way we treat our dogs and cats.

In my old age I have come to believe that the cosmos is so vast that the chance of ever running into other life-even life with highly advanced technology-is very remote.
I think it is very possible that humans destroy ourselves through war, environmental catastrophe, our general selfishness, our general stupidity. I doubt we will be taken out by some outside alien force. We are a grain of sand on an endless beach. The odds of contact seem pretty staggering, even if there is lots of life out there. --- An opinion does not turn into a fact simply because the person holding it feels strongly about it. ...

This is a foregone conclusion if they're capable of interstellar travel in the first place.There's a short story out there with the premise that interstellar travel is actually really easy and most civilizations discover it around the time they discover iron working, but humans missed it for some reason and get invaded by aliens with muskets. I'll try to find it.
