I'm not, but for a few bars of gold-pressed latinum I could be.

[–] breadsmasher 29 points 21 hours ago

[–] MapleEngineer 10 points 19 hours ago

Trumpists would label them illegal intellectual elitists and hate them.

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.

[–] proudblond 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

And sell it to them. Capitalism gonna capitalize

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 21 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago

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?

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.
