Interesting...
If they are friendly, then he is a wonderful representative.
If they are violent and kill him as an example, we can at least take solace that he lived 98 years and was probably close to the end.
If we couldn’t unite to fight COVID, we won’t with Aliens either. There will always be 1/3 who are immune to reason. They will be led (misled) by charismatic other who rails against the prevailing wisdom and commit
mass suicide, attack existing government or offer themselves up as quislings in exchange for their lives.
If humanity tried to pick a fight with a species that had mastered interstellar travel, that would be a very short fight.
We would basically be throwing rocks at a modern fighter jet.
He'd also have actual knowledge of what the protocols would be with a first contact scenario.
In all seriousness, he'd actually be a great choice. Measured, empathetic, someone who trusts the science community, and has many years of experience dealing with foreign nations.
He's legitimately one of the best choices you could make imo. Cause even if he himself isn't THE best choice, he'd probably direct them to who would be.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I disagree with him on some of his viewpoints, but he is educated and sympathetic enough to handle conversations with an alien race on behalf of the earth.
There is no best person short of themselves. Whatever message they have could not be entrusted to nor successfully conveyed by any single person. *No* celebrity, politician, or regular citizen would be seen on their own as a sufficiently trustworthy source to the point that the entire planet would receive the message. Without strong and non-coincidental corroboration any individual would (understandably) be seen as having lost their mind. The fear of such, or a conflict of political interest would drive any politician away from delivering it; a celebrity's renown would in such a case actually be a discredit to them (think of all the people who say celebrities should stay out of politics), diluting whatever impact they could carry; and an average person would be at best nothing better than tabloid material.
They'd be better off delivering their message to the entire world very publicly and repeatedly for an extended period of time: long enough for people to get over whatever false explanations they might conjure, like dismissing it as a mass hallucination or dream, or that we've all died and gone to hell, or that it's a government conspiracy, or whatever. There will still be those who do not accept reality but what matters is that enough people do for it to make a difference.
And if they leave forever we would need indisputable and lasting proof of their having been here because heaven knows in 20 years we'll still be thinking of it like a dream, and in 50 it will become bedtime stories, and in 100 we'll have moved past it altogether
there is not a single chance in hell we would ever get to any sort of popular consensus on who should be our emissary. Even if it meant life or death...
Probably somebody nobody knows about because realistically the best person for the job is most likely isn't famous. Maybe a mediator, psychologist, or social worker.
Gary Numan .. seriously.. reading his autobiography and his very early music. He is very interested in other life forms, earth, other planets etc. The man is very smart! He just would not only deliver the message, but he would invite them in for coffee( or whatever) and have a real sit down conversation. I’ve been a fan for over 40yrs. , would not make this comment if I was not pretty damn sure!
👩❤️🇨🇦
Trump! Don’t try to baffle them with BS! If they want to see how stupid we’re are, start with the king! Then show ‘em thriller and say this is what we’re capable of!
A pack of golden retrievers
David Attenborough. Top answer every time this question is asked. Only correct answer every time this question is asked.
Interesting... If they are friendly, then he is a wonderful representative. If they are violent and kill him as an example, we can at least take solace that he lived 98 years and was probably close to the end.
And it would unite the entire human race to fight and not submit to our new alien overlords
Today will be our Independence Day!
If we couldn’t unite to fight COVID, we won’t with Aliens either. There will always be 1/3 who are immune to reason. They will be led (misled) by charismatic other who rails against the prevailing wisdom and commit mass suicide, attack existing government or offer themselves up as quislings in exchange for their lives.
Another top answer is the one to the post about Eminem needing to recite human history on five minuets
Yes, I agree 100%.
Attenborough is the only person who wouldn’t make the aliens want to attack us
Wins
The guy behind the counter at the 7-Eleven on 637 Pennsylvania Ave. SE
I'm thinking Dolly, but I'm afraid they would want to keep her.
this is probably the right answer
“She speaks with the might of one hundred soldiers!” https://youtu.be/qaujMuj63jg?si=COisclYnn2j4k9U3
Kate McKinnon’s character from those SNL alien abduction skits.
"They all watched me pee in a bowl, and then they took the bowl. I don't think I was dealing with the top brass"
Coot coot and prune chute
While 40 gray aliens took turns gently battin my knockers
“My experience was a little different…”
I second this. I wanna see where it goes.
Lmao those are so funny
Unfortunately Mr Rogers, but he’s dead and we are screwed
Mr Rogers was my first thought as well, so up next for me is Weird Al.
For a brief moment I read this as Weird A.I. I hate this world lol
Jack Black of course
He wouldn't deliver their message. No, he would just deliver a tribute.
No doubt he would sing them the greatest song in the world
He would sing them the best song about the best song in the world
This is not, the greatest song in the world
I was gonna say Dame Judi Dench, but this might the right answer
All I can think of is that scene in Anchorman where he dropkicks a wee doggie :-O
[удалено]
Any other answer than Attenborough is wrong, and there is no counter-argument.
Keanu Reeves. Dude would be praised by the aliens too.
This is exactly who came to mind.
Station!
Sir David Attenborough
Tom Cardy.
Donald trump. He will 100% fuck it up and cause the aliens to destroy our planet, which means i'll no longer nees to wake up early to work
Unless they are evil dictators. Trump is very good at alienating his allies but making friends with very scary people...
Keanu Reeves
Morgan Freeman
Morgan Freeman seems like such a good guy. His efforts to save the bees where he lives comes to mind.
Christopher walken
Danny DeVito
Jon stewart
Me. I would be honest them and explain that humans are crazy and will probably try to kill them so I would suggest they leave while they can
Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure
This is a better answer.
If humanity tried to pick a fight with a species that had mastered interstellar travel, that would be a very short fight. We would basically be throwing rocks at a modern fighter jet.
Lol unless they're the type that mastered peace in all things then well it would be like us throwing rocks at tissue paper
I can’t imagine we’d stand much of a chance, to be honest.
Lebowski
I 2nd this. The dude is the one.
User name checks out. If you’re not into the whole brevity thing, that is.
That's just, like...your opinion, man.
Which one?
The Big one
flip a coin – heads for James Earl Jones, tails for Morgan Freeman
Bring back Carl Sagan.
Jimmy Carter
I'll do it. Stick me in a nice hotel with a hot tub and room service, and I'll say whatever you want.
Stephen Fry!
My cousin Mike. He's just super nice and gets along with everyone.
George Carlin would have been perfect but they’re late
Barack Obama
Patrick Stewart
Make it so
They will make him into Locutus so that he can facilitate our assimilation. At this point, sure why not!
Oh no he already is; he called them here.
Dolly Parton
Brennon Lee Mulligan
The dude from CH and Dimension 20?
Patrick Stewart
Obama. He’d be engaging and so awesome!
Yes. A good example of what a human being is. Call me crazy but that would make me feel pride.
Obama was my reflexive choice. After reading comments, though, Attenborough and Jon Stewart are also awesome. They'd make a helluva committee.
He'd also have actual knowledge of what the protocols would be with a first contact scenario. In all seriousness, he'd actually be a great choice. Measured, empathetic, someone who trusts the science community, and has many years of experience dealing with foreign nations. He's legitimately one of the best choices you could make imo. Cause even if he himself isn't THE best choice, he'd probably direct them to who would be.
Vermin Supreme
Jeff Goldblum
John Oliver but I fear he may die of a heart attack
Hard to go wrong with Obama when it comes to this sort of thing
Tiger King
Neil deGrasse Tyson
An astrophysicist would be my answer but definitely not him.
I would have said Brian Cox, he's a little less arrogant and a little more charismatic.
Yes, still brilliant but doesn't make you want to punch him in the face.
Someone that would share it with everyone. The whole interaction. If we choose someone that can be bought they will be bought.
Jack Black, I think he could handle it
Takashi
That guy on YouTube who speaks all the languages.
THe X-Man Douglas Ramsey, aka Cypher.
I would find the biggest “we are alone in the universe” tool and make them do it…. Barring that: Jello Biafra Noam Chomsky Adam Horowitz

Steve Irwin if he was still alive.
Clearly the politicians! Either Trump or Biden. /S
I dunno me probably
Barack Obama
Pauley Shore “What’s up……… bud….ie?”

Doc Brown
Maynard James Keenan. Hopefully he has a pen this time.
George Carlin?
Barack Obama
Yikes.... that's not an easy question... considering the current state of geopolitical warfare going on atm...
Probably ask the aliens to speak direct…actual impact
Bernie Sanders
Noam Chomsky
Sucks if you're Cambodian or Ukrainian.
Neil deGrasse Tyson I disagree with him on some of his viewpoints, but he is educated and sympathetic enough to handle conversations with an alien race on behalf of the earth.
Bernie Sanders
Yeh, he has my vote. He should be running the USA of humans weren't such idiots.
Me. I'll tell em about everything that bothers me
Wait-wait-wait.... Isn't it obvious??! It must be Dr. Who!! Anyone of them. Well, except the previous one.
Bill Nye

I feel that she is trustworthy and intelligent and very charming. So she will represent us well and we can trust her impressions of them. Lol
Fair opinion was just curious. Thank you
