The same, though I believe the old religions would be taking on cosmological attributes. It might pep up religions rather then dissolve them. I am guessing that UFO watching would take on a more serious bent, because who knows, the neighbors might be watching. Scifi would be revived. I am guessing that there would be a gradual re-emphasis in space travel. The tech to do the level of dyson engineering would involve extra monies placed on reverse engineering what the neighbors are doing.

That's something I like to think about too. My optimistic bet is that it would reduce in-fighting. Suddenly our small differences might appear irrelevant when confronted with the existence of alien intelligence. Worrying about skin colors might seem a bit silly given the threat of hyper-intelligent 7 meter tall spider-like beings :) Another consequence would be knowing for sure that it is possible to get to the Dyson sphere civilization level. Maybe that would be another incentive for more cooperation. I also suspect organized religion would take a big hit. Of course many would deny any scientific evidence of the existence of our galactic neighbors, as they do already with the fossil record, for example. And you?
