WOO! Thank you everyone for making FSL 2.0 as fun as it has been. I really enjoyed reading everyone’s stories, and I appreciate everyone’s efforts in organizing and making it all possible. Congrats to all the winners!
Maybe it’s because I’ve never been to a proper high school (went to a small grades 7-12 secondary school, and then a much larger boarding school), but high school hazing as seen in movies and tv is a pretty foreign concept in actuality for me. At least the physical stuff a guy in a locker stuff, anyway.
I’m strangely optimistic that aliens will not be malevolent to us, at least not directly so.
I think it’s kind of an ego thing. As humans, of course we would like to think humans are actually a species intelligent and special enough (and living on a planet special enough - but if there are aliens out there, then Earth cannot be all that special) to warrant aliens to even care about us or take the time to destroy us.
And, if aliens were able to keep evolving and advancing without destroying themselves first (like we might be doing with our planet and whatnot) to a point where they are advanced enough to get to us easily, I would imagine they would be quite enlightened and thus transcend our petty human nature. So, I doubt at this point in time we’d pose enough of a threat to their survival to warrant any extermination.
