Humanity often ponders the nature of alien life, but rarely considers the inverse: what would extraterrestrials think of us?
For theoretical physicist Avi Loeb, the answer is bleak. "If I were looking at Earth from a distance, I would be pretty disappointed," he stated, citing global conflicts as a sign of limited intelligence. "Most of our investing is dealing with conflicts to prevent other people from killing us or us killing others. Look at the Ukraine war over a little bit of territory. That is not a sign of intelligence."
