How egocentric. Its just as likely, maybe more, that an interplanetary species would view us as we view ants.
Do you watch locusts multiply and consume all before them then zoom in and watch the drama unfold between the individuals in the swarm? Or do you stand back and think "stupid things, they'll be hungry soon enough".
