let's say this happens...

an alien race arrives on earth. their technology is far in advance of our own. any attempt at rebellion or warfare will quickly be put down, with little to no casualties or loss of assets on the side of the alien race.

the aliens can understand us perfectly. sadly, they have deemed humanity to be a destructive and violent force which should be stopped before spreading any further throughout the universe. they are one single day away from initiating the utter destruction of our planet. this isn't a decision they came to lightly.

suddenly- you are teleported to the alien mothership and granted an audience with their collective leader. the alien overlord is receptive to your presence however. the overlord will listen to anything you have to say, and will observe anything you wish him to. the overlord is easily killable, but such an act would only confirm the alien fears of humanity and would assure our complete destruction. you have 24 hours.

what do you do to convince the alien race to spare our planet and save every person on it?

    Since our death is inevitable, I'd save the alien species the guilt of the unknown about their decision to destroy us and kill the overlord. If we're screwed anyway, I may as well help as many individuals as possible.

    legit surprised you wouldn't just ask him to go fishing with you.

    and just reinforce that we torture other creatures for our own enjoyment? Not a chance when I can waste one of the ****ers.

    I would agree with them. We are destructive. We're so destructive they don't need to waste their time or firepower because we're going to extinguish ourselves. We are nowhere near being able to colonize another planet, we don't stand a chance even getting there. If we don't seriously change our ways, we probably don't have enough time left on this planet develop the technology necessary for interstellar travel. However, if we do manage to change, we won't need to be destroyed and we could be allies. Their aggressive action would be redundant if we did poorly and cost them a friendship if were to do better in the future.

    You should look into books by Jared Diamond. You are 100% accurate with your 2nd and 3rd sentences.

    If you are taking bananas might as well take a banana hammock.

    Yes. Bananas(the kind on the kitchen counter) are being tossed around the thread as a primary weapon of engagement.

    Nope. Bananas none the less. It's our best defense.
