Are we alone?

[Streetboat]

i just hope when we inevitably make contact with other civilizations, that we don't alienate them (no pun intended) with our narcissistic, selfish society and lose an amazing chance to further ourselves as people.

Seriously how much would it suck if we met another species, and they grew to hate us because we have pretty much de-evolved over the course of the past decade or so and became controlling and needy.
