Fr, even as a human is scary how fast we are burning through stages of technology to the point quantum computers were just a theory a few decades ago
One of the proposed answers to the Fermi Paradox is that humanity is the first intelligent species to arise, at least in our galaxy. So we could quite literally be the ones born to inherit the stars.
That's the best outcome, IMO.
Being the first to start a race doesn't mean winning the race, be careful space travelers.
I certainly hope not. Humans are short sighted and stupid. Eventually it'll just result in us making different space empires and fighting each other again. Nothing changes. The best outcome is that we change our core DNA as a social species to prevent this. More humanist factions is not a good thing.
Humans: oh no you won't I am!
With how hungry for territories and resources we are, I could see it. But it would be the most utmost horror beyond comprehension for rising aliens civilizations if humans becomes the one with more advanced technology and they go around everywhere. Boy they gonna redefine the words "slavery", "moral", and "war crimes" so bad.
I don't remember the book my professor mentioned but it is a book that focuses on an Alien Species that focuses on space travel and they build a Galactic Empire and come across Earth, and they invade us but quickly find out they weren't prepared. Since they focused their time and effort in space travel, they didn't focus much on weapons, while the human species have devolved most of their time making more devastating weapons to kill each other. After the aliens surrender, they realized they just gave the most violent and dangerous species in the galaxy intergalactic space travel.
Essentially, we are space orks.

There are so many horror movies where the "super perfect apex predator Alien" takes over earth and slaughters the humans so it's fun to see a "humans are feral beasts, ungovernable and undefeatable" approach.

"Humans are space orcs" is one of my favorite short story trope

@@connormclernon26 WAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!
I remember seeing a web comic a number years ago where a alien ship was observing earth and every time it looked through the scope it saw a different human adult or child looking up at the sky angrily throughout humankind’s war torn history. Like an indication to the alien that “all this, will be coming for you someday”.
It's not a trope because it hasn't been popularized like alien invasions have in movies and stuff. It can't become a trope until it's a household thing. Which it's not. Maybe in 5-10 years.
Reminds me of the short story where all the aliens figured out FTL travel during like their Medieval era but humans were too busy fighting each other to learn the relatively easy method. Then one alien species tries to invade us with their “superior technology” and lose within minutes because we’ve spent so much time refining the art of war. It ends with everyone realizing now humans have super weapons AND FTL travel…
My friend, could you share the name of it?
@@kalwidorntheimmortalcaptai2435probably he watched it in the channel of ASN (Agro Squirrel Narrates), oslt
The comment sounds a bit familiar to me but I could be wrong. I think it's "The road not taken" @@kalwidorntheimmortalcaptai2435, quick short, the alien in this short story by Harry Turtledove already achieved FTL but their… techs are as same as early 17th to early 19th.
Heh. That is kind of funny, but realistically anything that has knowledge of how to go FTL absolutely 102% with a 2% margin of error, definitely has better weapons than us. Like, on principle alone, they are definitely stomping us.
@@devlinmcguire7543 they may have better weapons, but hey, what does a minigun do if you dont even know how to aim and fire it? you see where im going? we perfected the art of war, we know tactics that these aliens probably didn't think about, they've got better weapons, we've got better mastery over them.
Finally, a meme that celebrates humanity instead of going "b-buh humans bad!! humans da real monster!!"
WE WERE BORN TO INHERIT THE STARS
On word I hate the people that are like that so damn much
it celebrates that we are a monster. so your point is kinda right
Oryx laughs
Witness too will learn to fear the Indomitable Human spirit
Ironically, it is our excessive belief in this kind of superiority that leads us to suffer.
Although it would be good to truly believe in the unity of sapience, that is not what humans do.
We assign beliefs that make us feel good, or make things "easy" without further thought to the ramifications.
Perceptions can be an interesting thing.
Aliens: "We will use the resources of your planet, and you guys are in the way. Nothing personal"
Humans: "Genocide is a question. And the answer is *Y E S* "
*"Violence isn't the answer, it's a question. And the answer is yes."*

humans are probably that one psycho kid no one picks on because he got expelled from his last school for pulling a knife but for the galaxy
like 90% of us are religious and think we're going to go to eternal paradise when we die especially if in glorious battle and we regularly have continent spanning wars that kill whole percentages of our global population because like... one family of cousins had a falling out, one dude got stressed about his exams and had a fever dream he was the secret brother of a guy that died two millennia ago or one fat guy didn't like sparrows
meanwhile any aliens advanced enough to travel space are probably some soy techno-hivemind with little concept of things like internal conflict or lying that are about to find out how fast a war economy can advance science and what psychological warfare is if they act up in the wrong solar system
We are the war planet.
@@judehanmaif aliens visited us in modern times their technology would be far too advanced compared to ours, we would die
0:30 "We may be in a cruel and indifferent universe, it doesn't matter as long as we decide to be in it" Goes kinda hard ngl
Amor Fati
the more civilized, intelligent side of humanity wants to give up and sees no logical sense in enduring this pain. i think it's the more animal side of us that continues to fight, no matter the cost, pain, or pointless reward.
Focusing only on the cruelty and missing the beauty is similarly misguided as focusing only on the beauty and missing the cruelty. A bit like focusing on our weakness and not seeing our indomitable spirit
Remember: an alien species may sing a siren song of peace, but we must be cautious.
very Nietzschian
@@1001011011010 of course but, if they didn't wish peace then they'd likely just kill us all instantly, they have the technology to do so after all, keeping us as slaves would be illogical and eating us pretty much pointless, I mean there's many better species for consumption on earth that they could just mass-produce, logically speaking for such a species there'd be no reason to keep us alive other then maybe for entertainment.
likely it would be a peaceful interaction or an incredibly quick genocide, beating any previous records humanity ever has set.
There had better not be an alien species out there, plotting to invade Earth.
For their sake.

I was in a car accident that almost two years ago in which my Jeep rolled over thirteen times breaking the leg of my passenger and breaking both the leg and lower back of my other passenger. We were all wearing seat belts and followed all the rules for driving safe. I walked out of the wreck with only a small cut on my wrist and some bruising on the front and back of my head. I then pulled both of my passengers out of the vehicle and dragged them both away from the Jeep in case it caught fire. One of my passengers weighted a bit over 200 pounds and my other passenger weighted over 300 pounds. I was only 180 pounds, 20 years old, and don't really do muscle training. When a person is high on adrenaline and is determined to do something we can be truly indomitable.

I remember reading an interesting idea (can’t recall where) that suggested humans ARE the hyper-aggressive conquering aliens that media depicts us as facing against.
We’re entirely geared for war against one another, we’ve been shown to disregard “lesser” species (such as not caring about the ecosystem of an entire rainforest so we can create more farming land), and demonstrate an intrinsic desire to compete against one another. Who is to say that alien life even understands the concept of competition for survival.
Everyone depicts us as waving the banner of peace in an intergalactic community when we can’t even resolve a simple conflict in the Middle East. We ARE the boogeymen of the universe.
I say that’s not necessarily a bad thing. If the greatest threat to you is yourself, have you anything else to truly fear?

The idea that humanity has any sort of galactic destiny is just the height of arrogance and the fact that we can't even figure out our own shit on our own planet should say A LOT. Humans aren't the center of the universe, and we are no more inherently special than any other life form that exists. I think that like all other animals humans should just exist and be okay with it.

“Humans are special because they can change.” - Saitama, the One Punch Man
Harry Turtledove made a series about aliens invading during WW2 and it went somewhat similar Both this meme and that book reminds me of an old adage:
“Humans try so hard not to get involved in war, not because they fear it, but because they are very, very good at it.”
"It is well that war is so terrible, else we should grow too fond of it."

the Ender’s game series is a great representation of what could happen if the indomitable human spirit is too violent. In that world, we are the grabby aliens.
we deserve it though. just by our existance as an intelligent race capable of having it, we deserve to have it. we were born to inherit the stars
@@daftish_birdman Lol. Lmao even.
@@daftish_birdmanUnintelligent species are hardwired to have it all, but when they take too much from the environment, they start to wipe themselves out (aka remove all carnivores, and look how wonderful would herbivores do when they eat all the grass). That makes me think, do we deserve it all, or are we too primitive to know when to stop?

@@EggEnjoyer Asking a question and acting is different. Even if we ask things, we may be hardwired to give only certain answers, and not even understand this, because we can’t think of other options. Or we may give «correct» answers, but be unable to act on them because of how we are.
Plus who decided that God is the only one who stands above humans? Humans? Isn’t that narcissistic?
It baffles me that there's still so many people that hate on Gurren Lagann for some reason. "iT's ToO oVeR tHe ToP" That's weird, cause feeling fucking unstoppable after watching a show seems like a good thing to me.
One of the most popular genre of prompts on r/writingprompts is "Humans are in space, but we're really good at X/Y/Z, and aliens didn't realize, so we teach them a lesson". Usually it's about humans being *REALLY* good at total war, despite our outwards appearance of a peaceful nature.
We were born to be born, except if we weren't born to be born.
Then, we are the unborn. And if that's true, you can definitely just shrug off alien laser beams while shouting "I WAS NOT MADE, AND CAN NOT BE UNMADE!" because your blood is of a far older and more terrible stock, and the meager works of mortal creatures, no matter how advanced, are beneath you.

The "advanced" alien civilization realizing the hard way how invading a species that spent the most part of the last 4000 years killing each other wasn't the best of ideas:

Me too. This meme was all over my recommendations
The movie Independence Day is this very concept taken to its Americanized extreme. Even its sequel Resurgence, while no where near as good as the first movie, ends with humanity using the alien technology to essentially "inherit the stars."
I *love* that movie. I liked the sequel, too, but it was nowhere near as good.
the human glaze is absolute insanity
I'm just picturint a very beat up man pointing at the aliens and shouting THE STARSSSS ARE MIIIIIIINE while dramatic music plays in the background
I feel like a lot of the popular games recently have this kind of vibe like Helldivers 2, Darktide, Lethal Company

this reminds me of that one green text which described how humans are persistence hunters. Meaning, what gave us an edge over other animals was not intelligence, but extreme persistence and ability to keep going. We basically hunted by running down our prey, exhausting them until they dropped and got killed.
Because we aren't actually very intelligent or rational, and our senses often fool us. We can't see most things, and our memory and intellectual capacity is limited and inaccurate at best. We are also extremely emotional.
An interstellar alien species would be likely much smarter than us.
What gives us an edge, what we specifically evolved, was our willpower and persistence. The human body is incredibly resilient. In fact, most species on planet earth can be defined by their sheer resilience. If aliens eve studied earth, they would describe it as having very resilient species, rather than intelligent ones. We are not Homo Sapiens, we are Homo Indomitus.
I have a bit of doubts about it honestly lol
@@justduro1527 it's more of a thought experiment. Ultimately all this falls under philosophy rather than science. However, if you do have doubts about the sheer human persistence, well perhaps you need to actually go and do something difficult, which requires determination and will power to overcome. Won't have doubts by the end of it.
If you're talkin about the persistence hunter part, then there's literally still tribes in africa which hunt by running down their prey. That's what we did for the hundreds of thousands of years before we developed spears and bows.

You think you have a point but you don't. If you fall wrong on level ground you might fucking die or permanently lose some motor function despite us developing a super complex system of natural defense from physical trauma.
We have a multi layered, almost needlessly efficient bacterial self defense system that'll still crumble if there's a lil guy who knows how to use our cells as industries a bit too well.
We got where we are now because we stepped away from mere resilience, you're not writing with electric rocks tricked into thinking because we were persistent. You're doing so because we tried to use our brains to overcome what the body couldn't. There is no amount of persistence that'll save you from an aneurysm.
I wish we could just look at it like it is instead of mythologising one dude who discovered penicillin or cowering in a cultural corner because the internet has convinced some 60 year old guy the world ends with tattoos.
Give it 5 years and it's gonna be gone. Replaced by the nth installment of "apophis is coming the world is ending", then we'll just blow it up, and it'll be the indomitable spirit again, and then it'll be the crispr crisis, and on and on and on.
We got here by chance because a lil rat ancestor survived long enough. And we might end because we don't wanna deal with a stranger being potentially mean, the indomitable spirit is gonna go to sleep and never wake up when haptic feedback ai companions and games get to us, unless we can prove to the collective the real world is still worth it.
