I think it's a really stupid and ignorant conclusion but I hear it all the time. What is this opinion based on? Wishful thinking. There is zero evidence to support this. imposing our own moral ideals upon utterly alien beings is an attempt at deifying them. All life on earth shares many characteristics in common. Therefore we can find some evidence of the complete opposite. Humanity is not becoming more peaceful and morally superior over time. Our weapons and use of them has if anything grown and there is no longer any honour in war. Hundreds of thousands of people can die at the touch of a button.
Why would a more intelligent species or one more technically advanced want to show any interest in our welfare? Thats crazy thinking. We use Dolphins in Japanese Restaurants, to entertain us at Sea World and plant mines on enemy ships. We give deadly viruses to Chimpanzee's to see if we can cure them or not. We destroy their habitat without concern.Most Alien societies will be like us.
