Good point
The meddling usually doesn’t happen from an entity the smaller group doesn’t know about. The meddling might be done secretly, but the incentive to meddle was something everyone knew about
Comment on What if aliens don't want peace on Earth?

When ever one human culture fucked over another it was because they has something the invaders wanted.
Aliens haven't visited earth for the simple reason that if there are civs advanced enough to travel interstellar distances, something that is impossible with our current understanding of physics, there is nothing we naked apes have that they would want or need.

Yep. Basically every alien invasion story is a retelling of human colonialism but replacing the less advanced people with Earth and the more advanced with Aliens.
There is nothing on earth, resource wise, that cannot be found in every star with a planetary system in the galaxy.

People always talk abour raw resouces but forget the other things. Like maybe they do it to watch the Drama.
Also story of babel tells us we can make space elevators if we can work together. Can’t have that.
Could also be this is imperial “feral” world and need the conflict on going for recruits.
Another alternative was just free range biomass like in Jupiter ascending.

Relying on the bible for science info.
With everything we currently know about material science, space elevators are impossible on earth.
The moon with 1/6th G Sure.
Mars with 1/3 G possible.
Earth at 1G sorry but no.
All the rest is thinking aliens are like humans.
