    The fake scientific opinion that we are animals and if we don't fight
    for a part of the Universe than other animals will defeat us, was known
    a century ago under various names, such as: Eugenics, Naziism, Fascism
    and Social Darwinism. It is interesting to see that the fake science is
    back again, just at the right moment to underscore the fall of the USA
    into overt Fascism and when they are creating yet another World War. It
    is fake, because we are not animals, although perhaps _you are animals,
    by choice._

    We are technological, and that sets us apart from all the other
    animals. Our power is not in warfare, but in creativity. If we go on with
    the violence you are promoting, we will become the exact opposite of what
    you claim: not "adults at the table" but children who destroyed their own planet and went extinct long before they seriously got into space. We can
    hence extrapolate, that the same might be true for technological aliens,
    so that only those who are adults will make it, meaning creatures who know
    the dangers of technology and who have mastered them. Not people with a
    mindset fit for a bacteria or a baboon, who can only think of conquering, devouring killing and destroying. If you are such an accomplished adult
    alien, would you want to make friends with this unstable and violent
    humanity ? Probably not. Would you be ready to annihilate this pest when
    it gets out of hand, _because_ of their violence and their absurd ways
    of thinking ? Probably yes.

    So you see, it is all the exact opposite of what you are claiming. We
    should also take note of how short it is that we even know what stars
    are. We basically know nothing, and science is over and over turning out
    to be overestimating itself, especially the popularized version thereof. I
    hope you will take this word of caution against the violence promoted
    in your video, and what you may be creating with it. It may be a fun and amusing theory for you, but for hordes of people it might become a license
    to support limitless militarism, war and Tyranny, _might makes right._
