5% smarter isn’t that much it’s only 5% . That level of variability exists in our own species, the title makes it confusing . A species that’s 5% smarter than us won’t really seem that much smarter.

I'm pretty sure if there was a super intelligent alien race out there, they'd be smart enough to leave us alone, knowing people would go autismo apeshit mode if they just showed up. And also smart enough to understand that we weren't around for that much time and that we're still evolving.

And you think that based on literally nothing. The only cultural values you have (the ones that would inform your ideas about "disgust") come from humanity. There's no reason to think any human behavior (no matter how depraved) would be looked upon with disgust by an alien species. What you're doing is called anthropomorphizing.

And 2 things would need to be considered a what you mentioned. So It would at least be better to take a comparison from, at a minimal, the base dna set for animals and exclude it. And probably better to take it for animals with brains (literal brains not figurative). Then make comparisons as such. The second thing to consider is even if we encountered a life form with identical intelligence that is foreign to the planet the difference in dna if it even has dna would probably be titanic if not 100% different.
