If we meet an Alien civilization, I'm sure we'll realize just how alike we are, and start warring against the outsiders instead :p
Stephen Hawking warning that our extinction is on the horizon

Stephen Hawking has reiterated his warning about the potential extinction of humanity if we do not find ways to live in space, citing the fragility of Earth under human impact. He emphasizes that humanity's survival hinges on exploring new planets, a sentiment he has expressed for years. The discussion includes skepticism about the feasibility of such endeavors and critiques of Hawking's dramatic claims, with some participants suggesting that population control might be a more practical solution. Others argue that environmental degradation, rather than overpopulation, is the core issue, pointing to poor agricultural practices and corporate malpractice as significant contributors to resource scarcity. The conversation reflects a divide between those who see space exploration as essential for survival and those who believe that improving current practices on Earth could suffice. Concerns about sustainability, resource management, and the role of population growth in environmental issues are central to the debate, with various perspectives on how to address these challenges effectively.

So, obviously, it appears that the urge to wage war is the absolute dominant thought for both humans and aliens.

This is the great lie... I get you thinking about going somewhere else while my sole purpose is to perpetuate and continue with my own greed. We live in a very arrogant society, each circle "believes" it has the answers. Everything else is trivialized. There was greater truth long ago than there is now. Greater balance. Is it a sign of intelligence for a species to understand the nature of balance and still destroy and consume all of it knowing it will be it's own demise?
The American Indian forefathers were smarter than all of us combined. Why? They knew without knowing what certain choices would lead to. I liked china also because it seemed that that society seemed to reach a level within the framework of science and understanding for thousands of years without destroying everything around them. China has since been infiltrated with western insanity and is now sick as we poison the rest of the world with our cursed ideas. You can have great truth without destroying everything, but when greed holds the reigns to science as it does, the endgame can only go bad for all of us.
Choose wisely...

Some time ago he also said that we should try to avoid contact with extra-terrestrials because they might invade us.
