How about right now. The apple logo has a bite. There's more, it's almost everything which is like this in hell. You're in hell. Get back to work slave.

What if alien life already found us

same thing. if they found us in the 1960s and already sent a message, but it won't reach us until 2260 what's the fucking point?

Traveling? although it's a waste of time probably.
Think in how internet changed international travels.
1. the most common thing would be 'trivial' info exchange and discoveries
2. genetic info exchange

2. is the only realistic way to travel. Not a new idea because generally speaking the pretty much the only interesting places are those already inhabited. Or easy to justify.

tax increase to fight the aliens that are coming to clap your cheeks and steal your oil

one interesting scenario for lightspeed limited travel is that if any alien happens to stumble upon us here, they're most likely to stick around and try to blend in and do shit. it's a long way back home, even close to lightspeed going back or sending a message is kind of the same thing, apart from energy use obviously.

Imagine it like an alternative solution or fallback source either if you fail or your civilization collapses. Not a waste because it's almost free for a planet so it's worthy. The cost isn't in transmitting but interpreting and understanding their knowledge.
'Human' resources always are scarce.

Hey, I'm an alien. I actually have a clock in my mind which synchs up my thoughts. It turns me into a 300IQ genius in hell. Now that my IQ is so high, I've discovered there's actually no sense of urgency, and we can all relax in hell. God is making football and storing dead niggers in dead nigger storage. But the theory is he's only storing himself in hell. You're in hell.

How do we communicate with an intelligent alien race who lives on a planet like ours and has managed to build up their technology to the degree that we have?
We can send prime numbers to them and someone will eventually realise what they mean

if you have any common sense, you don't. nobody cares about anyone unless they need something from them.

We probably spend a couple of years arguing about what to do but end up transmitting to them.
I think the first few transmissions would need to be pretty big so we can ask and pre-emptively answer a bunch of questions then wait 600 years to hear back.
If you mean what does it mean for those alive today it might drive more international cooperation for a generation or two as we have a possible external threat but knowing people we'll back back to fighting among ourselves within a century.

I only really care if they are other humans. If they are just plants or animals then whatever, we kind of already knew that

What if it turns out they find prime numbers incredibly insulting, like their version of being called a nigger?
