What makes you think "space aliens" would think or act differently from us??

Indeed, my biggest fear is that they’ll act just like us.
-
My biggest fear is that they've moved past that and see us as too infantile of a planet to want to connect with.

Its ironic that it all happens under the context of "unification" Wars happen cause cultures try to dominate and impose that "unity for all"
-
your viewpoint is myopic + backwards. wars happen bc people of power exploit the less educated w fear + lies to fight progress/loss of power
-
thanks for the compliments :) but it seems we try to make the same point... I view that as the continuation of the evolutionary process...
-
I think unfortunate while war can be unarguable destructive, it has often created stable civilizations
-
ii) he assumes that "alien civilizations" followed a different path while (if) achieving that unity he smtimes tweet just for the sake of it
-

This is a disappointingly generic tweet. Why assume Aliens will be benevolent? And they'll have single language and culture?
-
Tyson assumes neither. He assume that Aliens having mastered space travels will be smart enough to focus their aggression on something else
-
Right. Cause it was non-aggression and benevolence that ignited the space race that put a human in orbit and then on the moon.

they probably do the same

I very much doubt another life form being as ignorant as we have chosen to be
-
Why? What are you using for your baseline here? They might be far MORE ignorant.
-
If they are capable of inter-space travel to very far distances they have probably evolved past the idiocy NDT is describing.
-
On what do you base that? One is in absolutely no way, shape or form dependant on the other.

Counterpoint: we need to kill each other even more, to provide a more powerful incentive to escape.

Lol, I'm busy, but good luck with that.
