    Given the UFO footage, I'm seeing lots of arguments that 1) we can't possibly understand alien motivations, 2) we should contact them to find out what they want. Here's our 2017 paper arguing that both of these ideas are stupid & dangerous: https://www.primalpoly.com/s/Todd-Millerevpsych-of-ETIBioTheory2017.pdf …pic.twitter.com/kDmcceIuYd

        tl;dr: Evolutionary biology, evolutionary psychology, game theory, & signaling theory can lead to some credible inferences about alien cognition & motivation... and they suggest there are extreme risks from active 'Messaging to Extraterrestrial Intelligence' (METI).

        I was always of the opinion that first contact with a more advanced civilization shaped by Darwinian forces wouldn't end well for humanity. Like Conquistadors meet Mayans on a galactic scale.

        Thats true, but it has been discovered that the Neanderthals interbred with humans, and got genetically absorbed and humans became the majority population. So maybe Aliens will just want to get it on! Haha 😁 Sources: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35595661 … and https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-28693371 …

        We had best hope that we have guns pointed at the ready by the time any alien race picks up our transmissions. After all, our peace with other creatures on Earth comes from our conquest of it. Aliens are more likely to be like Athenians in Melios than Spartans who spared Athens.pic.twitter.com/tS2m4zAYM3

        'The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must'. Morality is a virtue of the strong, not an argument of the weak against the strong.

        Aliens would make contact or be ambivalent Time travelers know the past. Watch the movies 'Millennium' and 'Twelve Monkeys' Came back for clean DNA because of corruption of jeans in the future.

        IMO, either there are no aliens in like a billion light-years around, or they came before humanity existed and the moment they don't want us around we won't even know what hit us. Meeting them at remotely comparable tech levels would be a near-impossible cosmic coincidence.

        Aliens depicted in the time of Galileo resembled the image of what people from that time thought to be extraterrestrial; in other words, if there were aliens, they wouldn’t look like what we think. There were no paintings of UFO’s back then that looked like the Millenium Falcon.
