Wouldn't it make more sense to bring them to a scientist, or at least if they as "bring me to your leader" say "you are looking at one, pal"

Yes, and it would be one of the scientists working in the extraterrestrial center of the UN. That's not what it's called, i forgot and I'm too lazy to look it up.
My guess though is that it would probably be the best authority to talk to aliens.
United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA)
What the fuck do they get paid to do all day? Must be one hell of a jolly
Address dumb alien conspiracy theories on the internet mostly
Scientists aren't usually leaders, and me saying that I'm a leader would be an obvious lie, and I'm not going to outright lie at someone who came here with a spaceship from lightyears away.
Nah, I'm gonna lie and I'm gonna make perfect steak out of their meat 🤤🤤
Which kind of scientist would you send?
Maybe an astrobiologist, linguist, and anthropologist?
Edit: probably some physicists as well, someone who can help build up a common mutual understanding from universal physical constants and so on
Ah, you mean Rick Sanchez, and his grandson Morty!
Oh right, I meant seperate scientists. I missed that the original word wasn't plural lmao
Realistically you would have a whole team though
Daniel Jackson and Sam Carter will do
Xenogoopologist to study the aliens' goop.
Psychology researcher?
Wouldn’t it make more sense to bring them to a scientist
Have you seen the state Jordan B. Peterson is in right now? He's absolutely not ready for space aliens. Dude's too invested in four day harmonous time cubes and Women as arch-typical Australian dragons.
So you are saying i should make alien barbecue?
On Soviet Space Station, Alien BBQ You.
If I was visiting an alien world, there's no way I'm visiting the scientists. What are the chances the first thing they do won't be ripping open my stomach?
America would scoop that alien up and have him locked in a 5 hr Joe rorgan podcast within an hour of setting foot om earth.
Rogan hits blunt "A buddy of mine saw you naked in the shower during a DMT trip"
Jamie(?), pull that up
Tell them to run. They're safer out there than here.
If they made it all the way here they’d definitely kick our asses by themselves and they’d definitely know that we are, as a group, a planetary trailer-park. Alien who let us pull one over on them would have to be astronomically(heh) stupid.
I mean, yes but also - think about the sheer marvels of mechanical, electrical, and software engineering carefully packed into an average modern car... and now think about your average driver
(Your point being the alien drivers. Just in case anyone needed that.)
I was thinking about how to say just that, but unless the aliens were at “tourist” level with interstellar travel I doubt they’d be doing first contact with such little planning.
There's a funny 90s film I saw once on TV about some US midwestern family driving through space in their car, but have to make a pit stop (crash landing?) on Earth. They're immediately seized by the US government who grill and torture the dad on how their vehicle works, and the dad's like "well there's a clutch... and you got the gas pedal..."
I really wish I could find that film again, it had stoner comedy vibes
Edit: It might be Mom and Dad Save the World (1992) though I can't find the scene where they ask the dad how the car / space ship works
Alien: thank wha... 😬 umm we'll come back later.
"DOG, I said thank dog!...if you are leaving then, please, take me with you. PLEASE. It's such a fucking shit show here.
I...I will let you probe me. Please don't leave me here!"
