This is probably the number one reason I'd be giddy about it.

Our species desperately needs to learn some humility. We're literally destroying our only habitat out of blind arrogance and greed.

If they didn't come in peace. We're boned, and everyone's problems are over.

If they did, at some point they're still going to need to use corrective action on our arrogant monkey asses.

Because all human history.

As an adult, it's the biggest plothole in Trek to me. Species so far ahead of us taking our lead only a couple hundred years after we took a break bombing each other and managed to cobble together a single, shitty warp drive a Vulcan toddler could probably improve the design of at a casual glance. If there was a consortium of species, at our stage we'd correctly need to beg to get provisional Jr. membership after 1,000 years of probationary observation.

They really shouldn't take us until our species agrees to stop letting people starve while others grow obese just to get the fat sucked out of them to do it again.

Well they did say that most governments were wiped out in WW3 so that probably had a big impact on why
