It does not matter whether advanced aliens had no interest in us, per se. Simply because they were so far advanced we would have seen some evidence of their passing, whether in the form of Cerenkov radiation or whatever.No such evidence exists, so we can safely state that no spacefaring aliens have ever been anywhere near us. Yes, I know there is all that Von-Danikenesque stuff, but that has been proven bogus long ago.
Let us say, that there were indeed spacefaring aliens around, then, logically, they certainly would be worried about other species developing interstellar travel in the future and becoming rivals, and so they would take steps to prevent that from happening.
Higher Consciousness within living organisms must be sparsely distributed throughout the cosmos. As life of a habitable planet evolves the organisms feed each other and evolve as one. Beginning with the slime molds reaching upward and outward primitive forms cover the world, and by transforming solar energy through a biological matrix the collective enterprise of differentiated beings work together to terraform the lifeless rock into a celestial womb in which the seeds of consciousness can grow.
Reaching the apex of terrestrial biological evolution by which it is possible to leave the mother planet for other star systems must be an even rarer event than the arising of consciousness, there may not be any others within our galactic neighborhood close enough to make contact, even if such methods of faster than light communications were possible. The likely scenario is that we are not alone in the universe, though we are marooned in the cosmic boondocks by the vastness of intergalactic space and time.
I like the story of "the forbidden planet" and how it could be applied to whats going on today. An ancient race of advanced beings began working on this great endeavor. They found a way though technology to amplify and interconnect the power of their minds( the internet) but when the time came to test their greatest achievement, which was the ability to control all matter with the power of their minds, their whole civilization was destroyed in an instant, by monsters which lived in the subconsciousness which were unleashed with limitless power. I see how humanity is racing at break neck speed to develop these supernatural technological powers, without realizing the kind of soulless monsters who may in subsequent generations inevitably inherit such power, and could lead potentially to our own destruction.

I've been trying to focus more and more on the integral symbiotic and mutually evolving nature of life and how it operates? Though there are leaps and bounds being made in this field, it still fields like there needs to be as much effort into discovering the unified field theory of biology as there seems to be in the fields of physics.
There are so many connections which the mainstream seems ignorant of, even with the emergences of so many luminary minds we all now have access to. Many of times I lie awake at night on the cusp of some great insight, only that when I try to outwardly explain it in words, it seems to not be able to encompass the entirety of the insight.
Just think about the world as a huge compost heap where the dead are converted into living mater and constantly fluctuating between life and death, form and void, then think about us, an evolved being which is the aggregation of the eons of a multilateral mutigenetic chain reaction. Ive come to realize that despite how far we have come in our understanding we still have very little understanding of how things work in entirety,
The problem arises when individuals whom are possessed by the false notion that they know whats really going on, insist upon acting on their ignorance in ways that from this" hypothetical" perspective of some advanced alien race would appear to be tragically insane.
These aberrant Ideas have permeated every orifice, edephis, facade of our modern world...they can be seen reflected in the political, biological, and spiritual zeitgeist of our age, and there isn't anyone here who is not infected in someway.
"Infection" is good example of one of these aberrant ideas run amoke. Beings immersed within a shared environment become in a sense infected by each other and inoculated by each other. There is a very fine line between infection inoculation, or emersion( which leads to adaption) both in human thought as in biological evolution.
Early in the development of biological science one aspect of the life process was identified, abstracted and obsessed over, to the point where many subsequent discoveries have been completely overshadowed by it. Germ theory is responsible for turning life against itself in the mind of humanity. The bacteria and microbes which are our symbient coevolving partners in the living enterprise where demonized outright because at the time there was no way to know of the myriad of other environmental influences which kept the checks and balances.
Checks and balances are more associated with political life, but their origins emerged from within the divine spark which holds all of existence together. Our huge brains are fueled and nourished by a gut full of microbes that seek out a balance from within us. Perhaps it is these insatiable microbes which where the driving force of our evolved brains to begin with. These microbes needed a way for their symbiont( Humans) to be able to manipulate the outer environment in order to maximize thier internal abundance. During the times when starvation was always not far away, the death agony of trillions of symbiont microbes and their bio secretions drove our species to higher and higher states of evolutionary awareness. Ecoli bacterial forms which flourish in the human gut are now known to produce brain food nutrients. These microbs produce critical enzymes and vitamins which are absolutely vital in maintaining the gargantuan demands of our brains. Foolishly when the signs that we are not getting what is necessary to maintain a healthy and well functioning mind, became apparent, instead of going back to a more evolutionary diet, factory foods began to be fortified with synthetic vitamin and mineral supplements, though these fake nutrients can stave off severes signs of deficiency, there is no way to arbitrarily measure the proper balance needed. These synthetic vitamins now being added to everything reek havok with the balance of gut microbes and keep one perpetually dependent on the vicious cycle of haphazard nutrition and unchecked imbalance.
Perhaps part of the reason for the diminished brain size as well as the epidemic rise in mental dysfunction in our current generation is the obliteration of our symbiant gut organisms, as well as the subsequent imbalances that occurred once we began to isolate and insulate ourselves against the natural order. The soil in which we lived harbored the life force which we used to protect and serve us through our evolutionary journey. The myriad of substances secreted by microbes, fungi, plants and animals consumed by our ancestors fueled our mutagenic assent, but have now been greatly reduced, so now we are faced with the task of maintaining a demanding brain on less and less optimal fuel, so as a result the body is forced to economise leading to smaller brain size and more and more cognitive decline
Now the world is becoming monocultured, antibioticed, antiviraled, monsantoed, rounduped by herbicidal bactericidal manicas who know nothing about how what they are doing is upsetting the checks and balances of the universal order. The signs are clear and the writing is on the wall, but I apprehend that as this system progresses there will be fewer and fewer whom are wise enough to be able to read the old earth centered language, nor will anyone longer value the notion of a soul and its interconnected relationship to earth as a biological being.
