You should read more.

My book consumption leaves nothing to be desired. (OK, nutjobs who are into some wacky shit might have an issue with my book choices.)
Our Sun is currently a middle-aged special G-type star, and there are other stars like it scattered across the universe. These stars are important because they can host planets where life might exist. G-type stars have incredibly long lifespans—ranging from 8 to 13 billion years—giving life plenty of time to evolve and adapt.

One such planet, TRAPPIST-1e, stands out as one of the most promising candidates in the TRAPPIST-1 system. Positioned in the star’s habitable zone, where liquid water could exist, TRAPPIST-1e is thought to have stable conditions that make it a good place for life to thrive. Its orbit is less affected by the gravitational pull of other planets, which helps maintain a more stable environment—ideal for life to develop.

Thanks to these stable conditions, TRAPPIST-1e is also the most likely to show a "biosignature"—a sign that life might be present. This could appear as specific gases in its atmosphere, hinting at biological activity.

In short, TRAPPIST-1e is not only the most stable but also the most promising planet in our search for life beyond Earth. With powerful tools like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), we're getting closer to answering the ultimate question: Are we alone in the universe?

They are doomed. Now we know where they live. We are now their aliens, and they should be pessimistic.
Perhaps our planet has been treated as a wasp nest next to a pond, and travelers do not want to be attacked and dissected by indigenous people while drinking and resting by the pond. Unless we have achieved prosperity and peace ourselves, and are able to entertain visitors as true masters, instead of a group of clowns surrounding a big/fat/stupid clown wearing a crown, promoting meaningless power/authority, and easily crawling under the feet of greater authorities.
True civilization yearns for friends/competitors/witnesses, not enemies/vassals/gods.
