Yes, and it would be one of the scientists working in the extraterrestrial center of the UN. That's not what it's called, i forgot and I'm too lazy to look it up.
My guess though is that it would probably be the best authority to talk to aliens.
Scientists aren't usually leaders, and me saying that I'm a leader would be an obvious lie, and I'm not going to outright lie at someone who came here with a spaceship from lightyears away.
Wouldnât it make more sense to bring them to a scientist
Have you seen the state Jordan B. Peterson is in right now? He's absolutely not ready for space aliens. Dude's too invested in four day harmonous time cubes and Women as arch-typical Australian dragons.
If I was visiting an alien world, there's no way I'm visiting the scientists. What are the chances the first thing they do won't be ripping open my stomach?
If they made it all the way here theyâd definitely kick our asses by themselves and theyâd definitely know that we are, as a group, a planetary trailer-park. Alien who let us pull one over on them would have to be astronomically(heh) stupid.
I mean, yes but also - think about the sheer marvels of mechanical, electrical, and software engineering carefully packed into an average modern car... and now think about your average driver
I was thinking about how to say just that, but unless the aliens were at âtouristâ level with interstellar travel I doubt theyâd be doing first contact with such little planning.
There's a funny 90s film I saw once on TV about some US midwestern family driving through space in their car, but have to make a pit stop (crash landing?) on Earth. They're immediately seized by the US government who grill and torture the dad on how their vehicle works, and the dad's like "well there's a clutch... and you got the gas pedal..."
I really wish I could find that film again, it had stoner comedy vibes
Edit: It might be Mom and Dad Save the World (1992) though I can't find the scene where they ask the dad how the car / space ship works
"DOG, I said thank dog!...if you are leaving then, please, take me with you. PLEASE. It's such a fucking shit show here.
I...I will let you probe me. Please don't leave me here!"

Wouldn't it make more sense to bring them to a scientist, or at least if they as "bring me to your leader" say "you are looking at one, pal"

Which kind of scientist would you send?
SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 11 pts · 311d
Maybe an astrobiologist, linguist, and anthropologist?
Edit: probably some physicists as well, someone who can help build up a common mutual understanding from universal physical constants and so on

Oh right, I meant seperate scientists. I missed that the original word wasn't plural lmao
Realistically you would have a whole team though
