    We're literally so enamored of the expansionist impulse that we can't conceive of an alien intelligence that might, in fact, not want to go out into space and colonize other planets and systems.

        Gosh. I didn't expect this tweet to blow up so big. Well, now that I have you here, I should really promote...the Cult of the Glowing Possum. I've only really known peace since I joined this cult. Membership is only $5,000 for the first level. We'll talk about other levels later.pic.twitter.com/pt6OH992wu

        What we expect of aliens reflects what we fear/expect of ourselves. Also the notion that going out into the cosmos be driven by desire for resources rather than just curiosity.

        Yep. Hearing cheers each time someone mentions "Mars colonization" sends waves of shudders down my spine.

        if the aliens are anything like me they are definitely swiping 'dismiss' on all those phone calls we keep making
