>To assume that a collection of beings which have obtained the ability to travel amongst the stars would focus their attention on a single species on a single planet is fundamentally selfish.
The "focus their attention" implies some total devotion. They could just study us or just come visit for the experience.
Like we "focus our attention" to thousands of wild life, with documentaries and shelters and various research, despite having obtaining the ability to travel among the continents (and even to the moon) and being much smarter than them.
Second, who said they have "obtained the ability to travel amongst the stars" in the first place? If they exist, they could be just like us, or even like us back in ancient times. And in that case, one would imagine they'd totally "care" for us, if they only could find us (like we care as to whether others exist or not).
