Let's say hypothetically we somehow managed to invent interstellar travel within the next decade, and then confirmed the location of extraterrestrial intelligence.
Then, when we got to their planet, excited to finally meet another intelligent species, we discover that they are primitive and are in what we'd call the bronze age.

Would you be disappointed?

No, it would be one of the most amazing scientific discoveries of all time. If you've been to one post-singularity world, you've been to all of them. It's the historically lost ages that really matter.

Why do the fuck. And I mean WHY THE FUCK would we even bother?

Woohoo, we found it, now could we please spend the money in shit like matters. Like giving more funding to the pure mathematics department?
