Those know it all holier than thou all powerful vegan aliens are SO annoying. Vivien Send a noteboard - 30/09/2011 06:40:30 AM
and they are vegans!!! :P


In the books. And they messed up too! In one plot they put under their protection an endangered species (on an alien world that I believe humans colonized) only it later turns out that whole species is evil. They were nazi squid, except they were really good at exterminating the impure, so good that there wasn't much evidence of it and the vegan all powerful aliens were fooled.

An interesting thought I had that may be worth discussion. Macharius - 29/09/2011 07:22:01 PM 993 Views
Well, Fermi Paradox discussions usually end with ???? Isaac - 29/09/2011 07:51:59 PM 666 Views
you do have to hope there's intelligent life somewhere out there Yunalesca - 29/09/2011 07:56:48 PM 712 Views
I definitely agree with the first part. Vivien - 29/09/2011 08:32:33 PM 804 Views
why do you think only those options would be available? LadyLorraine - 29/09/2011 08:35:53 PM 648 Views
Well just look at the history of Earth. And the cultural/advancement disparity would be FAR greater. *NM* Aeryn - 29/09/2011 08:58:52 PM 250 Views
Could be cultural domination. Vivien - 29/09/2011 09:32:18 PM 664 Views
*shrug* Humans aren't that bad LadyLorraine - 29/09/2011 09:51:32 PM 608 Views
Oh yes we are. Vivien - 29/09/2011 10:27:52 PM 684 Views
In one particular space opera, it's a mix and probably the best situation possible for humans. Vivien - 29/09/2011 10:21:42 PM 820 Views
Unless their advancement is so great they are VERY ethically enlightened, her fears seem valid. Joel - 30/09/2011 03:04:40 AM 724 Views
hmmm Yunalesca - 30/09/2011 02:34:47 PM 652 Views

Why do fossil fuels have to be involved? LadyLorraine - 29/09/2011 08:33:26 PM 639 Views
Going into the fossil fuel vs wood thing Isaac - 29/09/2011 08:51:07 PM 722 Views
The big issue is energy density, IMHO. Joel - 30/09/2011 02:53:39 AM 780 Views
That's so perfect. Vivien - 30/09/2011 06:43:31 AM 678 Views
I still agree with the view they are unlikley to intentionally punish us. Joel - 30/09/2011 09:35:13 AM 682 Views
We really have no idea how rare advance technologies societies are random thoughts - 30/09/2011 02:00:56 PM 791 Views
That's a really good point. Vivien - 30/09/2011 04:34:28 PM 694 Views
The doomsdays options don't really hold up well though Isaac - 30/09/2011 05:22:57 PM 695 Views
I think we have different interpretations of "silence" Vivien - 30/09/2011 07:47:32 PM 855 Views
It kind of comes down to whether FTL is possible Isaac - 30/09/2011 09:12:32 PM 798 Views
hmmm random thoughts - 30/09/2011 07:51:42 PM 555 Views
Yeah but that's just a variant of "Highly advanced aliens who for some reason are totally stupid" Isaac - 30/09/2011 10:21:34 PM 795 Views
I didn't mean to imply that were not talking to us because they looked down on us random thoughts - 01/10/2011 01:07:02 AM 739 Views

thanks for the detailed answer random thoughts - 01/10/2011 03:08:48 PM 729 Views
No prob, hopefully it's not all inaccurate nonsense Isaac - 01/10/2011 03:18:05 PM 764 Views
not to mention that the universe is HUGE Yunalesca - 30/09/2011 07:53:33 PM 611 Views
True Isaac - 30/09/2011 10:37:58 PM 616 Views
of course I can't say, that was my point random thoughts - 30/09/2011 07:42:55 PM 674 Views
I was totally agreeing with you until I wasn't. Vivien - 30/09/2011 08:09:08 PM 780 Views
That's pessimistic, though. The "blaze of glory" is ongoing. Ghavrel - 01/10/2011 04:25:28 AM 646 Views
Re: If life formed, why might there not be fossil fuels equivalent to, or greater than, our own? *NM* Gaps - 01/10/2011 03:16:23 AM 330 Views
another thing for consideration Yunalesca - 01/10/2011 11:55:12 AM 635 Views
