With humanity studiously avoiding granting “lower” animals, how can extraterrestrials hoping to contact Homo sapiens be assured humanity won’t exploit them in the worst possible way like we treat lesser brethren? Ethicists, like Tamlin Magee, are raising serious questions about Earth’s potential hospitality, not to mention our hypocrisy when it comes to anything that isn’t human. On the bright side you-know-who may wind up being far more powerful and intelligent than humans, making us fear becoming their lesser brethren or worse. Based on a mockumentary entitled First Contact — An Alien Encounter, John Pinkstone has come to the conclusion Humans Communicating With Aliens Would Be ‘Like Ants Trying To Talk To People’. In that vein, read Ursula K. LeGuin’s The Author of the Acacia Seeds. And Other Extracts From The Journal Of The Association Of Therolinguistics for a fictional perspective upon this section’s theme. As of the 6th of November, 2022 there is no empirical proof of aliens having visited, visiting, nor will be visiting Earth, leaving us scratching our heads as we scan the skies for any sign of intelligence. Fortunately here are Three Subtle Signs Could Give Aliens Away To Astronomers courtesy of Macy Huston and Jason Wright. Yes, THAT Jason Wright. Clip and save, maybe one day you’ll be the one making first contact. (CS)
