Don’t talk to aliens!

In this article, Stephen Hawking is quoted as saying that trying to make contact with alien races is “a little too risky”. Hawking said:
“If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn’t turn out very well for the Native Americans.”
