That said, why would any advanced race expend resources to come visit a type 0 "civilization" of malevolent primates torturing and manipulating one another while they work towards planetary scale mass suicide eyes wide open? I mean sure, Einstein might have enjoyed 16 and pregnant, or the ironically unironic Squid Game reality show, but I doubt it.

Our culture sucks, we're still basically fresh out of the cave technologically, and if they're the conquering habitable worlds type, we're turning our habitat into fucking Mordor with what little technology we've recklessly implemented without caring to fully understand.

I honestly hope space faring civilizations, whether benevolent(explorers), neutral(silent observers), or malevolent(we've come for your raw materials), have better shit to do.

Idk ask Jane Goodall. People do it, why wouldn't "space people?"

Gorillas (and bonobos) are gentle, quite unlike humans. Baboons are a better analogue.
