It would have to be a pretty jaded or insular species to ignore us if they knew about us. Look at how excited we get over a bit of permafrost on Mars.

Here's a question: How would you react to incontravertible proof of the existence of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe?

If an honest to goodness alien ship landed in my backyard, I would probably run like hell.

I wonder how the human race would react as a whole?
