Level 2.5 on the Kardashev scale.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Do dolphins know that they are dolphins?
Because in that sense, humans are atoms trying to explain themselves.
I hope that translates adequately in your german language.

While the likes of BK and Kid exist in the gene pool, we won't be getting any first contact.
Perhaps we could arrange a couple of accidents to speed up the process?"Aha, you must have supported the Iraq war and wear underpants made out of firearms, just like every other American!" Loinburger

Aliens already did, says so right in the Bible.
Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As people moved eastward,[a] they found a plain in Shinar[b] and settled there.
3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel[c]—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
Another interesting feature in the story is how people moved eastward to Sumeria to build their city and tower, the Garden of Eden story also describes people expanding eastward. God made man and woman on the 6th day and at some later date took 'the man' (one man, one of many) eastward to Eden to work for God. The plain of Shinar is Sumeria and the Garden now lies under the Persian Gulf. Thats 2 stories in Genesis identifying Africa as our likely original homeland when we were one people with one language.
As Spock would say, fascinating
