And even onto fictional entities, such as hypothetical AI or aliens - like why would an alien species go this far just to ‘invade’ what is there. It’s not just about technological development, but about the sheer amount of careful coordination and cooperation any venture into space requires.
Honestly, if you ask me, any sufficiently developed AI or aliens, that have managed to venture into space and break past the “great filter,” would have a good chance of recognizing the US as the aberration it is, as a rabid dog that has to be put down with prejudice.
The rest of the world could probably be dealt with on reasonable terms. But the bloody yanks would probably fuck everything up even if given a chance.
Now that I can agree with. Assuming they’d be on a level they can learn and understand human communication and could observe from a distance, I’m sure they could work out over time that one particular entity is beating the hell out of everyone else for no good reason and war-mongering with anyone and everyone, and that such an entity would also pose a grave threat to them having relations with humanity.
