Could be that we're to prove we're worthy of joining the ETs because they'll have none of our squabbling and warmongering if we become space-farers. Or at least, that's what this anon wishes for. So yeah, we gotta clean up our act or this planet will remain a prison for the time being.
Then we'd best hope and pray all the necessary protections are in place to keep evil from going full sour grapes on civilization. So far, no nukes have gone off under Trump's presidency, and we'd all be radioactive ash if it were Hilary in his place.
