Hmm, yes...and then our problems will totally be solved, as we'll have only our own petty problems to focus on, much like now. (Not to mention that SETI would become an utterly dead project. And to any new life-forms that arise years later, we'd be the ultimate proprietors of genocide.)

We haven't even been able to travel to the edge of our own solar sys
