Space Aliens Will Destroy Us All

[Chase]

I mentioned in my posts that aliens would have no need to attack Earth for our resources. Rather, I tried to make the point that a civilization that attains a post-scarcity level status would not be morally enlightened, and therefore could chose to attack us for a reason that might be nonsensical.

Nonsensical as in, just for shits and giggles? I mean I guess if Dr. Weird was running things I suppose that could happen. I just don't see the point in senseless destruction. I don't think you would go blowing up planets because...why not?

Well, Joseph Stalin caused millions of people to starve to death for shits and giggles, and he got access to nuclear bombs. Senseless destruction is happening all around us. If you put yourself in an alien's shoes, it makes sense to destroy humans, or at least contain us in some sort of zoo-like prison, because otherwise it would be only a matter of time until we humans go after them.
