IF ALIENS CHECKED OUT EARTH.

I don't want to get into the ideas of what aliens would do if they discovered earth, or whether extraterrestrials exist or not. I mean this as a way of sparking debate about the state of humanity rather than the practicalities of alien life. But if aliens did discover earth, what do you think they would be most "impressed" by, and why? Or are we living in such a way as that there is nothing they would recognise as special or good that we do?

I don't think they would be impressed with anything. Maybe that we have managed to avoid nuclear winter so far?

i think if they were technology advanced enough to make it to earth, they wouldnt care to much about our technological advancements
i think they would be more interested in some natural phenomenon , like drugs, medicinal plants, and maybe rock and roll
speaking of roll, the best thing we could probably do is rick roll them right away
Aliens:take me to your leader
Humans:*snickers* ok!!! *leads aliens to a stage*
Rick Astley: "Never gonna give you up,Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you"
maybe they will be impressed how far we have come, humans would be excited as fuck to find anything bigger then bacteria out there

I think there's a good chance they might be impressed by music. Music can transcend all of our other bullshit. Not all music of course, but some of it. That's the thing i think they would be most impressed with.

I know what you mean, i mean our music does make mathematical sense a lot of the time as regards to the way its all done at set frequencies with the notes usually in the same relation to each other in all music. And i think the breaking of these mathematical rules that govern music- ie the guitar playing of jimi hendrix- in an aesthetically pleasing way is something that aliens would be impressed by.

They would be impressed, considering how dumb all over we are, that it's taken so long to kill ourselves off. Hopefully they can lend a hand with their superior technology.

I would mainly agree with you, although i do think that humans have actually started to kill themselves off reasonably early. I mean maybe i'm wrong but i just don't see society as we know it existing in another hundred years or so. I suppose that's probably been said by previous generations. But nuclear weapons and resources running out don't bode well. Humans have only been around a short while in the scheme of things, and we probably arent gonna be around too much longer.
I always think to myself, why did humans have to try and develop their technology so damn fast? Morality and Philosophy just haven't had time to catch up. I mean once if we had just waited a few hundred years before each key invention, maybe we could use them for a better good, with greater understanding of them. Humanity has been in such a rush.

I apologise, what i mean is that i think humans will kill themselves off and very soon in the scheme of how long we have been on earth.

I think that the development of nuclear weapons, as well as climate change caused by humans is in essence the beginning of us killing ourselves off
