Naw there's no way humanoids across the universe would allow earth to suffer the same fate as has befallen countless civilizations in countless galaxies throughout our history, they would instead show us an example of what it looks like while teaching us to have the agency to take hold of our own future that embraces liberty and individual sovereignty. :conspiracy:

Or, maybe, we're alone, and we're fucked. :D LOL cheer up

Technological advancement and digital coordination among various devices in our daily lives can easily respect individual sovereignty if created in the right hands. The problem is those who hold the power are immature, sociopathic, selfish, crazy. The other problem is that many who are excited about creating new technology are young and nearsighted, while there is a never-ending flow of new young engineers to take their place as they mature into non-compliance.

The cypherpunk open source radical individualism culture must dominate.
