You raised a very interesting topic! Which few people can yet discuss seriously. All this is due to our backwardness and opinion "the most intelligent" at this point in the Universe. I think that we are still a very young civilization and, of course, we are under the microscope of more developed ones. I hope they are simply watching us, without interfering at all with the ecosystem of our planet.

Yeah, humans are not a very old bunch, several thousand years is a small span of time compared to the many millions the plant has been around...and then considering the universe...we are small and insignificant in comparison. I like to think we're being watched.
