We have found intelligent life that did not originate on Earth.It has been predicted many times that extraterrestrial intelligence would be friendly. It has been predicted many times that extraterrestrial intelligence would be hostile. It has been predicted many times that extraterrestrial intelligence would be supremely indifferent. On a few rare occasions, it has even predicted that extraterrestrial intelligence does not exist.But to the best of my knowledge, we have never truly believed that we would be far more advanced than that extraterrestrial intelligence.We never... I never expected that, one day, we might find ourselves thrust into the role of teacher, of mentor, of role model.That day has not yet arrived. For now, we remain hidden. But one day we will step forward and identify ourselves to the people of Sisyphus. It is my deepest hope that, when that time comes, it will not end as badly as every encounter between a technologically primitive people and a technologically advanced people has ended on this planet.May the knowledge that we are not alone in the universe inspire us all to find the better angels of our natures.
