Yeah, often people leap to "aliens" being some higher intelligence than us who will judge our poor sub-optimal decisions. Though to me it seems more likely that any life we encounter is more likely to be less intelligent, if intelligent at all.
- hsn915 4y agoIt's worse. "Aliens have the same taste in things as me". With the implications being something like "Aliens are super intelligent" and "I am super intelligent". IAmVerySmart vibes
- zaik 4y agoAliens with the ability to visit earth will be much more intelligent than humans.
- generalizations 4y agoExcept that being farther along the tech tree doesn't imply greater intelligence any more than possessing a car implies greater intelligence than an ancient Roman.
- antifa 4y agoThe alien that made the space ship will be smarter, the alien that arrives in the space ship might be less smart than us.
- dawsmik 4y agoIf Aliens find us, it seems reasonable they would be smarter/more advanced.
- jimmygrapes 4y agoBut would you say the same about humanity if we stumbled across an alien culture and were somehow able to communicate with them?
- stjohnswarts 4y agoUnless we find some microbes in our little solar system, I highly doubt this. Any civilization able to get to earth is likely to be at least an order of magnitude more intelligent than us.
