Intelligent Aliens Could Destroy Earth

Stephen Hawking has once again put out the idea that if we contact aliens from another planet, that it would probably bring on our destruction. The argument goes like this: if there are aliens, they are probably held to the same laws of survival of the fittest that we are, which means the strong survive and the weak die. So like as not, they will come here, destroy us and take our natural resources in order to survive and thrive. Survival of the fittest.

That's it in a nut shell.

But what if they are more technologically advanced than us but are actual a bunch of dumb ass idiots. Take the US for instance. One of the most technologically savvy nations the world has ever seen, with a very energetic populace....but our government is made up of a bunch of people who go around their ass to get to their elbow.

Maybe the aliens are led by a bunch of morons too!
