Of course we're not alone in intelligence. We share this very planet with dolphins at least as intelligent as us, and we treat them appallingly putting them in tiny pools and training them to do tricks for our children to enjoy. We share the same DNA with pigs, just arranged in a different order, and pigs are as intelligent (by our understanding) as a 3 year old human child, and we treat billions and billions of them appalling for their short brutal lives confining them in crates they can't even turn around in. Our cousins the monkeys and apes are models for diseases like Parkinson's so that Pharma can say they've tested their ineffective and toxic drugs on them and make lots of money.

If alien life came to this planet they would be imprisoned, experimented on and killed. Humans would not sit down and talk to them and ask their advise.

The wisdom of our beings, also called the universal consciousness is in all of us. We just need to stop the chatter on Twitter etc long enough to be able to hear it; before we annihilate ourselves and most other things on this planet. However species come and species go. Civilisations come and go; indeed we're watching the decline of the US empire before our eyes. Humanity will certainly cease one day, whether we do the 'right' things or not.

I don't think it's the fear of being alone that drives us. It's the fear of death, that we're not needed, special, eternal nor in control.

Letting go of all these things brings the freedom to live with our neighbours and other animals in peace, acceptance and harmony.
