If Aliens Give Us 24 Hours To Prove That Humanity Is “Worthy Of Existence”. What Do We Do?



A massive fleet of country size UFO mother ships appear in equidistant geosynchronous formation around the Earth. Every human on Earth is given the ultimatum simultaneously in their native language. Humanity has 24 hours to prove that they are worthy to exist. If we cannot prove it to them the planet will be bombarded till nothing survives. The count down starts to click down… 23:59:59 …23:59:58 …
What does humanity do?
Panic. Disbelief. Debate. Violence. Possibly acceptance. And then death.

Wild animals don’t beg for mercy when they are cornered. We are wild animals made “human” by pursuing power, wealth and knowledge supervised by a poorly constructed set of adhesives called family, society, religion, ethics and values. Make all of that meaningless by announcing death in 24 hours and we become the wild animals that we are with the single quality we are naturally born with – violence
Considering that the threat is very real and every single human is aware of it, collective paranoia will lead to violent and chaotic behavior as the countdown edges towards the final hour. We would cull ourselves while the rest pray to their Gods waiting for salvation which will never come.

But it does not have to be this way

If the aliens are asking why humanity is worthy of existence, the best answer that can be given is simple:

We exist. We have evolved as a species and a culture and we’ve built far more than we’ve destroyed along the way. Who are you to come into our home and demand justifications?

If the aliens are demanding we meet a specific test to prove our worth, then it depends on the test. Beyond that the whole stumbling block lies on the fact that we have no idea what an alien species values. We may be incapable of understanding what they value. Absent that… it doesn’t matter what we do to prove our worth. It will either be right or wrong, and we don’t have any idea which way it will break.
Well, first of all, we need to lay down a few (somewhat optimistic) principles.
1. We cannot hope to impress these aliens – We just can’t. If they have the ability to travel to us from across the void of time and space, then they’ve sufficiently advanced to the level wherein we have absolutely no hope of understanding them.
2. These aliens have a past, complete with wars, famines, poverty, and dictators – Judging from our own planet’s timeline leading up to this point, we can judge that these aliens must have had a similar history to our own. War is just natural selection for the sufficiently advanced, and so the sufficiently advanced have had war. (Maybe someday humanity will move past that, but today is not that day.)
3. These aliens have moved past war. (Assuming that war against humanity would be considered pest control, of course.)- With their level of intelligence, there is at least a fair chance that these aliens have managed to put aside their differences and live in peace. I would assume that they did this through the connection of the sciences and the humanities. (Hmm. Ironic that they’re called humanities, given the context.).

One of the main things that has always held humans back is the way in which we separate what we call “left brain” and “right brain” activities. Almost all major additions to the general sum of human knowledge have come together during the times that we have stopped trying to separate the two; e.g. The Renaissance in Italy, The Hellenistic Age in Greece, etc. So let’s assume for the sake of this scenario that the aliens have learned to combine the two fields of knowledge.
Humans, having a rudimentary grasp of the arts and the sciences, do have the potential to rise to the level of the aliens, in time, and any sufficiently advanced species would and should recognize that, and help us to become greater than we are, if not out of love for a new and unique species, then at least for the sake of knowledge in and of itself, be it pertaining to the humanities or to the sciences.
Here’s some stuff that I would use to illustrate what humanity could become:
The movie “Dr Strangelove” – to show what we managed to avoid.
Catch-22 – to show that we can recognize our own madness even in the midst of it.
A History of Bletchley Park – which to me best symbolizes a turning point in human history. One small group of people both shortened the Second World War and paved the way for the modern era with the invention of universal computing.
Iain M. Banks’s: Matter. It’s a sci-fi novel, but it epitomizes the society that we might one day aspire to be.
The complete works of Pixar. If humanity is worth saving, it’s for the hope that we can be better. If anything we have done talks to that, it’s Pixar. You could throw in Ed Catmull’s Creativity, Inc. and How To Train Your Dragon (not Pixar, but their closest challenger) for good measure.
If none of that has cut the ice by hour 22, I’d devote the last 2 hours to a global screening of Monty Python’s Life of Brian. I have always thought that this is the one thing I would show an alien civilization to educate them about humanity. It’s all there. If they don’t get us after watching that, we might as well not bother.
And at least we can go out singing.

Maybe not this...it's a fun film though :-)
I tried to bring the film picture in but couldn't figure how to...

Deleted link...was trying to give link to the film 'Absolutely Anything' where a group of ET's give humanity a chance to prove themselves, but select one man...and his dog. It's very funny

Sorry, I don't know why or how as to me it gives the link to the film. I deleted it though in case it causes 'computer harm' (i'm not great with computers as you have probably guessed).

I'm downloading it from a torrent, so I'll be able to upload it here within a few hours. It only got 8% on the Rotten Tomatoes movie review site... but it might be interesting to Avalon members.

It has the Monty Python team behind it, and also Robin Williams, RIP. So... I'm quite looking forward to watching it.

[Rocky_Shorz]

I would give them 23.5 hours to prove they are worthy of judging us...

Does bigger guns give anyone the right to judge another?

I really enjoyed it, partly because it has Simon Pegg in it but mostly because it's funny. It is very silly too but enjoyable. Robin Williams is the voice of the main characters dog.

Thank you Bill. This film is completely relevant to this thread I think, and shows a humerous side to the whole concept.

I'd say you've already had at least 24,000 years to size us up and if the jury is still out, then I'd say case dismissed.

~maybe we all are "ancient alien souls" with (temporary) amnesia using Human bodies as a "avatars" ... and we have to figure out WHY we have this (partly or full) mass amnesia "problem" (or it is a blessing?) ... maybe the language of the Soul is totally different than the analytical memories (partly or fully) implanted artificial memories to manipulate us in a certain direction? ... if so ... we are screwed beyond belief.

"The only way out is ... in" ... ?

Resetting all (preconceived and/or conditioned) assumptions? Learning how to be unbound playful spontaneous fearless again? How to go beyond duality thinking? How to resonate with your own core essence what you suppose to be doing? If that will be accomplished (y)our frequency will be mirrored back to you/us?

[Jeffedelic]

Just show them a collection of art, music, things of beauty. If they can not see anything there worth saving, any glimmer of hope or love then what more can we do. There are many things about our species that are ugly and horrible, but when you hear that perfect, soul piercing voice ringing through the quiet there's no doubt that there is something worth keeping. In a situation where we were outgunned as badly as we would be vs an interstellar war fleet, there wouldn't be much more we could do.

With the recent passing of David Bowie, this may serve. It made me cry yesterday

Why do we need them? We can prove to ourselves if we really want to exist or not. If we can't even do that simple fundamental thing... then the answer/result should be quite obvious. We are way too powerful to be this inept. We fear and oppress each other, and other species on the same planet. Yes! we will get what we deserve...we always did.

Peace

I first read that as poor "United states", works too lol... My dyslexic mind, oy. But yeah, we would be scah-rood!

[Falien]

Why do you consider them evil if they gave humanity 24 hours?
The 24 hour could be use to give a reason why humanity are so wicked and evil.
I don't understand why humans have to be so wicked.
My answer is that human don't have the right to exist.

Human have always existed in hurting other.
Humans don't have it in there nature to help another.
They only do something for someone when it benefit themselves in some way.
Even then that is over written often by there desire to harm other.

I know from experience how humans are.
I sought help for many years and always got treated horrible and use.
Even this site i got direct e-mail from members telling me to suffer and to cause self harm.
They believe that causing harm to other is a good thing because they feel so good doing it to other.
That how humans are.

I truly believe things would be better without humanity.
Humanity will never change.

I'd say: screw you!....get a life!
