Damn good points. This is very much unlike the leap in technology of the past. It's not incremental and its across the board.
I’m not reading all that, gonna need clifs.

I'm playing the new re-release of the Mass Effect series and for anyone who doesn't know what it is, it is an amazingly developed video game that deals with humanities entrance into the galactic community of aliens and how we work our way up the ladder to eventually earn a seat on the counsel which is the leading government authority in the galaxy made up of the 3 dominant races of aliens.
Very in depth and fun game to play so I would definitely recommend it, but there was one interesting part in the 2nd game where you are speaking with a Selarian (alien species that looks like what we typically imagine as aliens) and he is talking about another species, the Krogan, that they had a war with and how the war was due to the Selarians introducing their technology to this species too early and it resulted in mass destruction rather than growth, and he described it like giving a nuclear weapon to a cave man.
If there are aliens out there then I would think they likely have an advanced community and it could be that they don't see us ready to accept the technology that they possess because they believe we would fight over it or use it to fight each other rather than explore the galaxy and meet whoever is out there. I tend to believe it would probably involve both sides where you have countries inevitably using it to their advantage while NASA and private space firms would use it to explore.

Any other info with it?
ME is a great franchise (aside from Andromeda) and I have the new remastered set already downloaded just havent fired it up yet.
Its one that started me to believe that while humans are flawed, we have a uniqueness to us, and that is the fact that we are never satisfied with the status quo. We constantly strive to make things better, no matter what aspect it is. We are a species of makers and tinkerers, creators and builders. I believe this trait to not be as inherit in other species. I mean, look at what we've done in a few centuries, its quite impressive. I do not think many species would have the same result in the same period of time.
This is why nearly every sci-fi genre depicts humans as going from the newbies to running the show in very short time. Star Trek, we go from being pretty much held back after First Contact by Vulcan who is weary of our civilization and its ability to wage war, to running the Federation in about 50 years. Mass Effect, humans are seen as an outcast early and humans not even on the galactic council from what I recall, to spearheading the galactic effort against the Reapers in a few years time. Star Wars, where human bipeds are the primary species that run everything. To me, theres a common denominator in all of these, and thats our ability to make and create.
Then you have depictions of alien craft from Bob Lazar (area 51 dude) saying these technologies are thousands of years ahead of us. yet somehow we can still pilot/fly the craft. So to me, when I hear stuff like that, it makes me think a species like that doesnt build as quickly as we do, what we do in 10-20 years might take them 100-200 years to figure out if they have less drive to make better stuff or build things. If they've already become complacent with what they have, then it stands to believe that we could in fact catch up to them rather quickly.
This is why I dig the Star Trek "prime directive" approach. You don't interfere/interact with pre-warp civilizations, you simply observe them at passing, report their advancements, and move on. Once they figure it out then you let them join the party. This is why I believe we are constantly visited by aliens but not directly contacted, they're in observe and report mode. Every day like "What are these silly ****s up to now? Oh they are making up new genders! isn't that quaint. Guess that warp drive research is going to have to wait another decade."
Solid assessment. I played the game some when it was first out but never finished it or got very far so playing it now is really my first outing with it and I'm being very thorough with my play through. It's amazing what they came up with for the universe that it is no surprise it is based on a book series and it would make for a great movie series although it would need a huge budget!
I'd love the people who did Battlestar Galactica or The Expanse to create a Mass Effect series. Even better if on HBO so we get to see some Asari boobies....
I was wondering where I dropped that toothpick.
that's exactly why I believe there is intelligent life out there, based simply on the fact they passed this ghetto ass rock up and haven't attempted contact.
Have you picked up Mass Effect Legends? They remastered the trilogy in 4K, fixed up Mass Effect 1 quite a bit.
NM: lol saw your other post on Mass Effect.

So the other pilots didn't know what it was and ATC didn't know it was there. My first officer knew what it was immediately. She spoiled all the fun. Apparently SpaceX launched like 60 satellites together in low earth orbit.
