| They’ve been here for 10,000 years. They don’t “visit.” They’ve been here the whole time. More have come since the first arrived, though they just drift around in their (living machine) vessels, observing everything. Most of them spend their entire lives in their pseudo-embryonic sack, a very rare few actually get out and walk around, so they don’t really compete for space or resources in the same way humans would. Their technology works largely through the mind, so they can literally observe the world through your senses while a million miles away. There isn’t a thought or experience you can have in your own mind that they cannot perceive in greater quality and detail through your own senses. While altruistic, they are wary of humans. Humans are unpredictable, unreliable, and frankly a danger to themselves and others. There is little incentive to “meeting and greeting” modern Man. Humans are not the most endearing part of Earth. Oh, btw, there is a secret war among humans. Those who have the power of thought control are running a secret governance of power against the rest, so it isn’t like you’re really aware of or speak on behalf of your own humanity. |
