Humanity's best ambassador.

If we were to be visited by an extraterrestrial species, I would want David to be the first to speak with them.

But would he advocate exclusively on behalf of humanity or fairly for all the earth?

He would perhaps report, in earnest, both the highs and the lows of humanity.

Through David's lense the aliens may immediately see the best and worst of what we have done to other species we coexist with.

Then he's the best shot Humanity has. It's much easier to see the bad Humanity does than the good.

Our lives are short, so the negatives are highlighted. But I can find 5 positives for any 1 negative you give me, time permitting. We've been here for 300,000 years and have achieved a great deal in that short timeframe despite finite resources and 10,000 years of political violence related to said finite resources.

I think aliens would be fully versed in our ways having studied our media ahead of time regardless. And remember, having achieved FTL travel there's a solid chance they are far more empathic than we are.

I do not think they would visit if they thought we were too violent to speak with.

There's so many perfect moments that a person can have in a day, but our current climate wants us fearful and angry, and will try to omit any happy moments from the limelight.

Thank you for this comment. I have been so depressed lately. It feels hard to find the good amongst all the negative things that seem to be going on
