If a genuine, open, and global contact happened between humanity and an extraterrestrial civilization, and some form of cooperation followed, what positive human qualities or values do you think might begin to strengthen or appear more clearly? I’m especially curious about this from a psychological and societal perspective. What traits might emerge both on an individual level and collectively as a species? Do you think this kind of transformation could unfold in stages, with different phases of psychological or social development over time? submitted by /u/Time_Yesterday_2058 [link] [comments]
