    No, we would instead make interspecies pornography of humans boning the aliens and further diminish our status in their eyes. Dommy mommies scoffing at the entire planet. It would be a diplomatic catastrophe.

    Trump will tell them that he is the most sophisticated president ever, even when he loses and ends up in the psych ward.

    No, lol I think the lemming saying we would try to nuke them is spot on but jokes aside most people wouldn’t give a rats arse about these new aliens and only a very small minority would try to create art that appeals to their tastes- just to see if they can cater to their standards.

        Hehehehe selling art is very hard already, you want to do so to a race of snobbish aliens? I mean 100% with you that’s what they will attempt, but I have my doubts on profitability

    What would an advanced alien race even consider fine art?

    Six dimensional termite mounds?

    Or they could see in a smaller range of frequencies, so what looks like a plain white room to us is a masterpiece of modern art to them?

      Its already a master price to humans if sold by the right salesperson artist.

    Based on our human history of snob thinking they’re better and then enslave those they think are barbarian, yes, but not before they enslave most of us and then spare some.

    The aliens would judge us for torturing and murdering the animals for selfish reasons.

    So yeah most people would pretend to be vegan so that the aliens may talk to them.

    barbarians

    Their assessment would depend heavily on chance: Which continent do they look at?

    For your question, would we be pretending, it is the same.
