"Iam now talking to Lrrrr ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8, this species of alien is fascinating, see the large elegant horns, the regal cape he wears, to say he is their ruler."
"Uh why are you narrating, human?"
If you do a search, you’ll see that this question appears frequently. The answer is generally Sir David Attenborough.
The reality is that NHi need no introduction to our species. They basically designed us.
That's why I would send a baby, like an 18mo old that can walk and babble.
It's a perfect representation of humanity, and it couldn't say or do anything with malice.
If anything had a hand in our origins, that's the best we can offer them- the true potential of their creation, unspoiled and untainted. It doesn't know evil or pain, there isn't an ounce of cynicism; the only traces of selfishness or manipulation stem from a pure desire to be fed, taught and loved. Equal parts defenseless and powerful. The ultimate learning machine as far as we know, and NHI might see more possibilities in our blank canvas than we can.
I seriously pondered this question off and on for a couple weeks before realizing that a baby would be the safest and most accurate "representative" of humanity to NHI.
Practically speaking, there's nothing a baby could do or say to "offend" or disappoint a superior NHI who (likely) knows us better than ourselves.
Past that, we have a gut desire to think there's someone that could give us an advantage in some sort of negotiation, when the answer is that it would be a moment to humble ourselves and acknowledge that we as individuals fail to live up to the potential of our species.
I just want to add on to what the other person said, that really was a beautiful answer. Well said, and honestly, the best answer to this frequently asked question I’ve seen yet. You’ve convinced me… If they did have a hand in manipulating our DNA in any way, the unspoiled potential (like you said) of a baby would be great. If they didn’t have any part in doing that, then they’ll at least see that baby has no intentions of harm towards them. I had never thought of that question in that way. Again, great answer!
Happy holidays, friend. Take care and be safe out there.
You too!
And let's all remember that **every** person we see was at one point one of those happy, helpless, fat, perfect lumps of infinite potential.
They were either loved unconditionally and mean/meant the world to another human like you, or they were tragically deprived of that love.
Agreed. I’m currently sitting on the couch with my two toddlers. It’s hard for me to not remember everyone was once a baby because I have twin babies right now lol. But one of these days I’ll even need to remind myself that my girls were babies at one time, probably when the teenage years come along 😭
Which ones designed us? They say there are multiple species from different planets here allegedly. They didn’t all design us. Someone won the science fair.
I've heard from a photographer friend that Steven Seagal is the worst celebrity he's ever had to deal with, and from his stories, that's saying a whole lot.
Right now I'm afraid they'd read his mind and see him thinking "humanity has driven this planet like we stole it", and then the aliens would go... hmm.... maybe we'll just nuke it from orbit.
This would be a concern, but he understands that for all the harmful stuff humans have done, we have the capacity and (in a lot of cases) desire to do good, be better, and atone for our mistakes. He's a guy who can find (and make) just about any creature or plant interesting, and he's so sincere about it that I think he could do the same to any NHI with regards to humanity.
Yes, we're done a lot of bad things, but look at all the good people out there who are sincerely trying our best to make up for it, whether that's but advocacy or direct action.
We're not perfect and we never will be, but the most direct ongoing harm is being caused largely by a small section of society obsessed with their own wealth. I think most of us would prefer green energy and world peace - it's just that the billionaires in charge make so much money from fossil fuels, hatred, and war, and convince so many of us that that's what we want, too.
Based on these comments, a celebrity with a wholesome persona who knows next to nothing about the subject and is in no way qualified to be or interested in being the ambassador from earth.
Send me!
I'm from Planet Earth (I think) and I really like it here! I'd be happy to provide a tour, network and connect the right folks to the right Visitors and negotiate any treaties or offenses that transpire between NHI and Earth Peoples.
Plus, I am about as human as can be. I love digging in the dirt, building stuff, growing stuff, making art, accepting my defeats, humbly noting my triumphs and requesting help from other humans when my own Earthly prowess is not enough to accomplish a task.
Feel like I was born for this job and will accept payment in alien handshakes (or hugs).
I'd think we'd want someone with Down Syndrome or someone kinda goofy and loveable like Theo Von.
Taylor Swift wouldn't be able to emotionally handle meeting aliens.
Secretary general of UN. Whoever that is .
That will be the guy we send out to meet them And shake their hand. and they vaporize him .
No joke the UN countries already have planned for this very scenario ( just in case ) , and that’s who will be our main representative.
All the initial reps of humanity will be UN officials , no one has ever herd of.
Hell yes, No one can resist that beautifully fabulous trainwreck. He also pretty much is the epitome of American Culture. The peak, as you will. If you fed all American personalities through a giant LLM, and asked it to summarize it in one man, it would spit out Joe Exotic.
You're talking to the Rolex wearing, diamond ring wearing, kiss stealing (WOO!)
Wheeling dealing, Limousine riding,
Jet Flying, son of a gun
And I’m having a hard time holding these alligators down
Wooooooooooooooo!
I'm not entirely sure, but it would probably be someone who can communicate back and forth with other countries.
Jackie Chan or someone would be a choice, just because a lot of nations like him.
But. No matter who people choose to represent them. Another country will say no and want someone else.
A single person representing all of humans in a meeting would be silly. We aren't a hive mind.
Obama. There is not a better statement. There's not a better person on this planet to do that. Regardless your politics, you know he would not f*** it up at all. If Obama was chosen. That's how I know humans would flourish
Someone the vast majority of people would be upset they were being represented by.
Not because we all have our favorite but because they would be chosen by politicians.
I think the only correct way to do that would be to take a large vote across the planet for each region/people to get a candidate, then do a second round to refine from that pool, and continue until there is one clear candidate.
I read about a German newspaper reporting about an "alien abductee". And these aliens are able to sense who the "saints" on this Earth are. Basically, "saints" give off a rainbow light, which sounds similar to Buddhist theology.
I'd say humans would choose the President of the United States, or Secretary-General of the UN. But the aliens are more likely choose a person who is deeply humble.
Well if it ever came to it, I better not see Niel Degrasse Tyson’s hand shoot Up! In fact, if any of it turns out to be true, Niel needs to sit down and be quiet 🤫

The Honorable Sir Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, of course.
 He’s the only pick.
All jokes aside he wouldn't be bad. Sense of humor, not arrogant, not cocky and who can't deny that silly hair?
Exactly. He’s self-deprecating, has self-awareness, and his politics are thoughtful.
Happy Hairlodays
Our Lord and Tsaviour.
Facing stigma the way he did, i wouldn’t even be mad.
David Attenborough is our ambassador to all nonhuman species.
"Iam now talking to Lrrrr ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8, this species of alien is fascinating, see the large elegant horns, the regal cape he wears, to say he is their ruler." "Uh why are you narrating, human?"

And then they eat it.
Can I have the little fat piece under the eyes?... love that piece.
That was fucking beautiful dude..

"We're not hosting an intergalactic kegger" - Rip Torn
YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE INGRATES!!!!
That’s just so Zed
Keanu Reeves
That's actually a good pick. But I'd say it depends on the NHI we're dealing with. Are we talking face-peeling NHI or peaceful and loving NHI?
If they're good, send them Keanu reeves If they're bad, send them John wick
He will destroy 3 spaceships with a fucking pencil
He will push the aliens down flights of stairs just out of spite.
Peaceful NHI get Keanu, face peelers John Wick. Best move either way.
If it's face peelers we sending in the big guns Steven Seagal
If we sent them S. Segal as ambassador for humanity they would probably vaporize Earth immediately.
Stephan Segal. Is legit. He may even beat up the alie hahaha. I just vomited
I've heard from a photographer friend that Steven Seagal is the worst celebrity he's ever had to deal with, and from his stories, that's saying a whole lot.
We'd need Will Smith as his wingman for sure.
And then Tom Cruise as a alternate. With R. Kelly.
Tom Cruise and the aliens might see eye to eye
Good point... Guess we're fucked.
Give them aliens a good ol' slap in the face even though they're probably bald too.
Came here expecting it to be: *Me, obviously* Well chosen. I'd vote for Keanu too. Touche.
wholesome 100 Keanu chungus updoot guys!!
Sigourney Weaver is our only option.
Definitely Gary Busey 
I don't think we want to start an intergalactic war
“Hey guys it’s Gary! Why is he pretending to be a human?”
He is so crazy wouldn't doubt he isn't from Earth! 😂
Gary is NHI.
Not if we want them to come back
Utah!…. Gimme two!
Terry Crews
Jack Black, I just get the feeling he’d know exactly how to handle it.
Well his mama did help us get to the moon or some such.
Yea, that as a really weird thing to find out
Fred Rogers
May he rest in peace
David Attenborough

Mr. Bean
I think OP was asking for a human though.
Dolly Parton
The Queen of Tennessee. Amen to that
*America
shes amazing also Lily Tomlin would be great. send them together!
That is a very entertaining thought. Don't think she'd survive unless they country folk among us.
Neil deGrasse Tyson so we can mock him afterward.
I'd like to see Nile DaGrease Tyson meet them face to face and he'd tell them they're not aliens until they probe his stupid ass lmaoo
Or that they're infinitesimally small.
Based on these comments, a celebrity with a wholesome persona who knows next to nothing about the subject and is in no way qualified to be or interested in being the ambassador from earth.
Japanese Astrophysicist Michio Kaku
He’s American but great choice.
Keanu
Jeff Goldblum. That guys candor and genuine curiosity surely transcends space and time.
Jacques Vallee
Stephen Fry, would do a better job than any current World leaders (granted that's not a high bar).
werner herzog
This is a perfect answer.
Send me! I'm from Planet Earth (I think) and I really like it here! I'd be happy to provide a tour, network and connect the right folks to the right Visitors and negotiate any treaties or offenses that transpire between NHI and Earth Peoples.

Sounds exactly like what someone who is not from planet earth would say 🤔
Do not touch the aliens, they have soft cartilage bones and we can easily crush them.
Who should be chosen? Good question Who will be chosen in a purely democratic process? Taylor Swift.
I'd think we'd want someone with Down Syndrome or someone kinda goofy and loveable like Theo Von. Taylor Swift wouldn't be able to emotionally handle meeting aliens.
She would write a song about how they dumped her.
So, Trump?
LeVar Burton
Nick Frost and Simon Pegg
Secretary general of UN. Whoever that is . That will be the guy we send out to meet them And shake their hand. and they vaporize him . No joke the UN countries already have planned for this very scenario ( just in case ) , and that’s who will be our main representative. All the initial reps of humanity will be UN officials , no one has ever herd of.
That’s probably the path of least resistance. UN Secretary. That’s probably as “fair” as possible.
The furthest thing away from some obnoxious politicised american prick
Keanu Reeves
#Dolly Parton!
Fo Shizle
…Turns out an extraterrestrial can out smoke Snoop, Willie, and Cheech & Chong combined
Jon Stewart
I mean... Me... Duh :P

The amalgam of George Carlin and Carl Sagan, fused through a freaky teleportation accident. Carl Carlin or George Sagan?
Carge Sarlin
 Keanu! One of the best humans ever 💖
The mountain
Larry david
jack black
I mean, they obviously left him here for us.
Joe Exotic. I mean.... putting one person as a representative is already idiocy so we might as well chase the rabbit all the way down the hole.
The aliens are about to find out they ain’t that straight
Hell yes, No one can resist that beautifully fabulous trainwreck. He also pretty much is the epitome of American Culture. The peak, as you will. If you fed all American personalities through a giant LLM, and asked it to summarize it in one man, it would spit out Joe Exotic.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson - so he can lecture them about the scientific method and show, with certitude, why they do not actually exist.
Woody Harrelson!
Maybe he’d refuse to go, because the spacecraft is air-conditioned.
Danny de Vito
If Carl Sagan were still around it would be no contest
Mr. Rogers
Neil De Grasse Tyson of course
Henry Winkler.
Bobby Shmurda.
Definitely not Henry kissinger

Charlie Sheen. That way they know we already have sorcerers from Mars among us and will always be \#winning
If an alien thinks one person represents all people then they are NOT intelligent;)
Definitely not biden

Owen Wilson, Morgan Freeman or Jim Carrey.
TRUMP 2024 🇺🇸 ☝️👽 ... JK. Sir Patrick Stewert... he's already auditioned for the part. 
I nominate Bill Murray
I second that.
Obama
High probability he’s already talked to them.
Someone the vast majority of people would be upset they were being represented by. Not because we all have our favorite but because they would be chosen by politicians.
we get this question once a month apparently. Is it the same person posting this stupid, absurd nonsensical BS?
Species is an illusion. If still alive I’d nominate Koko the gorilla as the differences between humans and gorillas are trivial.
Gary Nolan
Yours truly would be happy to oblige. Confident it would go well and would consider having been able to do a fine job.
Geddy Lee.
Bernie Sanders

I'll throw my hat in, you should too. We should start organizing politically
I thought it was already decided David Attenborough?

I think the only correct way to do that would be to take a large vote across the planet for each region/people to get a candidate, then do a second round to refine from that pool, and continue until there is one clear candidate.
