The
Premise is that due to blind faith (ISIS is a case in
point) or due to greed or insanity (North Korea is a case in point)
new civilizations in their forward march destroy themselves in
midterm before they are fully evolved or civilized.
We are now in this
current threshold of self destruction.
My alien theory (I
strongly believe they visited us in 1947, to investigate, two years after the Atomic
Bomb Explosion) that they visited us but left convinced that we
were not mature enough to interact with them.
Additionally Area 51
was not evolved to its present level of sophistication, then.
It was built after
the possible crash of alien spaceship with more advanced technology.
I believe the alien spaceship was
brought down by hostile fire.

The
Lifespan of Advanced Civilizations
A very short
lifespan for advanced civilizations may be a realistic probability
because as our own case shows, technology mushrooms very rapidly and
is accompanied by many dangerous effects such as;
1. Overpopulation
2. Depletion of
natural resources
3. Pollution and
worse of all
4. Rapid escalation
of nuclear stockpiles which can easily reach the level where they are
capable of wiping out the whole population of a planet.
By the same token,
if we were to find significant number of other advanced civilizations
in our galaxy it would mean that some at least had been able to
overcome the dangers that are now looming over our own civilizations.
If they have reached
this advanced stage, it would mean that they have been able discard
all of their animistic (BARBARISM) attributes such as materialism,
selfishness, territoriality, dominance over others and killing
instincts which in a technological civilizations are likely to lead
to self destruction.
They would have been
able to to mature into higher levels of cosmic intelligence
characterized by spirituality, altruism, respect of others, adherence
to peace and love for each other.
Joining such a
galactic society would indeed be a colossal step forward in the
intellectual and ethical evolution of our civilization.
This might
also be the reason why we have not yet heard from any such advanced
civilizations as may exist.
There must be a galactic rule that says
that before a new civilization is invited to join the galactic
society it must show that it is able to overcome the major crisis
that probably befall all new technological civilizations.
Since we are still
in the midst of this evolutionary problem, there may be advanced
civilizations waiting to see how we do before inviting us to join the
galactic society of advanced civilizations.
