Ignore the whole getting into the mind of a lanky blue husk and prancing about having sex with a bunch of humanoid aliens but think of the premise a minute.

My question to you is that, if we as a species were to ever end up in a situation where we came across a planet so utterly wealthy in minerals but occupied by an intelligent race of humanoid creatures do you think we as a species would be peaceful and diplomatic or callous and ruthless in exploitation? Do you think humanity by then would be a far more empathic and humane enough species to be able to open diplomatic relations and fair trade or would corporate greed and the want for money still be enough to tempt governments or corporations to commit terrible acts?

I know it's one of those if my Aunty had balls she'd be my Uncle type scenario's but the subject interests me. Please discuss.
