If we develop the technology to go to an inhabited planet, would we conquer it?

If we developed the technology for interstellar travel and discovered a planet or planets that had intelligent life by not as technologically advanced as we were, would we take over? Should we?

Depends on the natural resources they have.

either we'd conquer them or they'd conquer us. Humans as a species are insufferable war mongers hell bent on destruction. Always have been, always will be. I guess it all depends on the other species on that planet and how they interact.

Let's say they have natural resources that would be useful and enriching to us but not necessary for our survival or safety.

Could probably find a few of those here on earth. Not sure how many of them would be attractive though.

I considered your mom an inhabited planet.

She didn't ask stupid questions, she simply begged for it.

Assuming they are a different religion or color, we'd have drones there by the second day. Boots on the ground within a week.

Assuming they are for some reason all white christians, boots on the ground wihtin a month.

Whenever two civilizations come into contact with one another It has always been the case that one will come to dominate the other.

I think an argument could be made that any species that is shaped through natural selection will necessarily be aggressive and sometimes violent towards competing species.

I lol'd

But the answer is yes if they have a resource of value. If not then the people that don't think reality TV can get any bigger will be proven wrong.

I wonder if other planets have movies about people that look like us coming to invade or otherwise torment them.

Like what does their version of Predator look like?
