Humans are fun to probe.....but we're really here just to observe and make a lot of reports.

Would we want anything to do with them?

They might like us with a nice cream sauce and a bottle of wine.

It really all depends on some things, what they agenda would be , are they hostile or not. And would they want anything here with us , our animals or resources

Pretty sure any alien interest would be purely scientific or nothing but wholesale horrified fascination.

The lack of evidence of their being here shows that there is intelligence in the universe.

Well Fuck No

It would not surprise me if earth is considered the West Virginia of the universe.

Maybe as food? Read "To Serve Man"

Why would they? Any species advanced enough to reach us would have access to many other worlds to colonize, as well as much better sources for natural resources and power. The only thing they couldn’t more easily get elsewhere is us, but there is really nothing to be gained by interacting with a violent, fickle, xenophobic species as divided and distrusting as us.

I think most human concepts of Aliens are narrowly imagined as a species of a compatible size. What if Aliens were actually too big of too small to communicate?
Ant might actually think of elephants as aliens and vice versa.
Most alien fanatasies are just substitutes for religous ideas a sort of atheists' religious friend.

Actually the deep time/deep space problem makes it almost zero probability we will ever meet other intelligent life in the universe. We will find other life if we are ever able to colonize other planets and moons of the giant planets.

Would you ?
