So what makes Stephen Hawking an expert all of a sudden

sorry to break it to you guys but it turns out that earth is the only planet to develop our kind of copulation

every other species in the universe practices traumatic insemination

Ruby Rhod

I thought that was all sex.

He's not an anthropologist, or a sociologist, but something tells me he can understand the whole neoliberal postmodern guilt thing just like the rest of them. His argument seems very white-centric.

Because why, why the fuck would aliens capable of intergalactic travel not be able to synthesize their own petrol, or water, or toilets? I think he was influenced by Avatar, because an alien society who fucked up their own planet and are out on the prowl looking for a new one might do what he proposed in his new thesis, but unlikely. I refuse to believe most aliens of this caliber are asshole white, privliaged western upper class people who fucked everyone over to get to the top of the food chain.

Hey bro

I uh, don't know if you've ever noticed this. But white people didn't invent taking advantage of less advanced societies. It is kind of endemic to our species. White people just did it the best with their colonialism and guns and big boats.

No way man. Know what the Maori did when white folks showed up and traded with guns? Built schools outta muskets.

Well at least school wouldn't be boring.

if advanced alien life shows up the best we can hope for is an independence day scenario

cause advanced lifeforms are all about travelling to far off places and ruthlessly butchering their inhabitants?

If Highrise spotted a group of cavemen on the surface of Mars, do you think NASA would launch a mission the same day to mount a giant laser onto the bottom of a shuttle and just fuck up their shit?

Ladyboys are not a renewable resource

Ruby Rhod

Well, with the right medication...

Dichotomy

but that's the thing though

I mean we ain't got any concrete data so any talk of aliens is pretty much masturbatory flappin' of the gums

but I don't think it's reasonable to assume that alien life would think like humans
it's not like they're just gonna show up and have this funky crest on their forehead and maybe their skin is purple or some shit and they speak a strange language but eventually we figure it out

well it might be like that, nobody knows shit



but the point is I'm more inclined to think that advanced alien life would A. not recognize our worth B. be openly hostile or C. be completely incomprehensible to the human mind

You and I both know that there's a planet supporting a form of life orbiting Alpha Centauri

SLyM

I'm more worried about the real issue that Columbus brought with him. Disease. It's doubtful that anything they have would be immediately suited to human bodies, but if they managed to evolve into something dangerous, the vast majority of the human race could be killed off because of our transit possibilities.

Dichotomy

also if NASA had the funding to mount giant lasers to the bottom of their shuttles they'd totally do it

I was gonna respond to this with a quote from Alpha Centauri the video game but I think maybe you're talking about transformers so I don't know where I'm going with this
(alpha centauri is a really good video game)

because the Great Old Ones are awakening and when the stars are right they will return to claim that which is theirs

this is correct, EarthDichotomy

Dichotomy

see, the Alpha Centauri thing is the kind of thing I expect from advanced alien life

except that the Transcendence ending got turned off when we started the game

people who get really amped up about extra terrestrials

like people who run SETI@home and shit

those people, man

what is their deal

Finding intelligent extraterrestrial life would probably be the biggest discovery in the history of humanity. So, people get pretty excited.

FirmSkater

Shit, finding extra terrestrial life period would be absolutely incredible.
