I’ve always felt very antagonistic toward that oft quoted philosophy of Clarkes. It’s simply his opinion, not a fact. Personally, neither frightens me, unless the dominate species is more like human “explorers” of old. Then, we will be the less evolved and advanced and that always spells out annihilation.

it stands to reason that any species that has overcome the technical difficulties of intergalactic travel would have, long before that, figured out how of to live peacefully with their own kind and would most likely be peaceful in nature. i could go on and on about why i think that would be the case, but that’s the crux of it. yes, i’m a sci-fi nerd. :)
