Humans want to believe aliens exist cause they cannot stand the possibility they might be alone in an infinite dark and cold space. It's somewhat reassuring. Anyway if we judge phenomenons by the law of evolution and natural selection, if aliens exist and are more advanced, they d either wipe our ass in an hour or would simply ignore us.
Are you interested in people who cant provide, teach you, anything, because they are less mature /intelligent than you? No, you ignore them. You re interested in people who are as smart or smarter than you cause you can learn things that will increase your own odds of survival from them.
Life (and death)works following the same principles everywhere in the universe; every living organism that exists fights for its survival againt others organisms. Three strategies of survival are possible; cooperation, domination, submission. Most life forms adapts by alternating these 3 main strategies of survival.
When you give more than you receive you re being parasited, it always end badly. When you take more than you receive you re dominating, it always ends badly. When you give as much as you receive you re cooperating. To be able to cooperate you need to have advanced communication skills, and sincere empathy. To be able to see the whole picture. Only very few people are able to do so.
Life gives its meaning to death, and death gives its meaning to life. Good gives its meaning to evil, and vice versa. Life and death, good and evil are the two faces of a same token/medal. Good generates good, evil generates evil, and both fight each others indefinitely.
