To show that we're bad-ass
- squarefoot 9y agoIMO they already know. That's why they're waiting for us to evolve one more thousand years before contacting us.
- PoachedSausage 9y agoOr waiting for us to evolve enough to provide good sport.
- draugadrotten 9y agoNah, they're fattening us up to be the intergalactic version of Wagyu.
- danek 9y agoOr waiting for us to compute 42
- MrF3ynmann 9y agoWouldnt 'they' have evolved 1000 yrs as well? By that time their own current state of evolution would look even less developed given the exponentiality of evolution.
- rgbrenner 9y agono.. you're assuming that other species develop technology at a similar rate, and that our current progress will continue at the same rate. Both are things we don't know. There may be hard limits that stop development of technology past a certain point. Like Moore's law coming to an end, but one day we may not have any viable alternatives.
- scoates 9y ago…not if they're moving faster.
- squarefoot 9y agoPerhaps we just need to stop being dangerous to other species and ourselves. Embracing the pursuit of collective goals would be a huge advance in our civilization level. Beyond that point athough less developed we could be accepted for not being harmful anymore.
