The question I most want

To know the answer to is “is there sapient life anywhere else in our galaxy, and if so what are they like?” The thing about this is that the answer either way is equally uncomfortable, just in a different way. If there is other life, are they hostile? Would they want to eat or enslave us? At the same time if we *are* truly alone in the vast darkness of the hundreds of billions of star systems out there…that’s kind of a terrifying prospect if one thinks about it for too long.
