I don't think we're in disagreement here.
I'm saying that anyone that believes wholeheartedly that we're the only intelligent life in the universe would find a way to cope with the revelation that we weren't.
It would be the greatest scientific discovery in history but I don't think it'd lead to mass famine, war, anarchy, etc.
