David...

Let me repost my message originally given to Dale Anderson during a
|
|
discussion of why "everyone" seems to think of ET intelligence in a singular
|
|
sense, much after the fashion of human intelligence.
|
|
** BEGIN REPOST **
|
|
In a message written by Dale Anderson <07-Nov-91>
|
|
re First Et Public Contact?
|
|
|
|
DA> Exactly, Matt! So few words and so much insight. Why
|
|
DA> do we constantly view 'aliens' as having a mindset like
|
|
DA> we do?? WHY??!! A leadership structure is prone to
|
|
DA> anarchy and mistrust, as history has shown. On the
|
|
DA> other hand, a collective mindset...
|
|
|
|
To answer the "WHY"...
|
|
Life, all life, as we know it must compete for limited
|
|
resources and reproduce to ensure continuation of the
|
|
species. The nature of competition is that some
|
|
individuals are more successful and therefore dominate and
|
|
control those resources. The dominant individuals are
|
|
leaders and employ variable strategies of leadership. This
|
|
competition principle holds true for the simplest life
|
|
forms (bacteria, etc) to the most complex (homo sapiens).
|
|
Statistically, there is little support for a
|
|
competitionless species. So it becomes natural to view
|
|
aliens as having a mindset like we do.
|
|
|
|
I contend that any infringement upon this principle
|
|
would involve a life style with unlimited resources and
|
|
reproduction ability. Leadership structure IS prone to the
|
|
problems you list. Yet any continuing association with man
|
|
by any form of ET would immediately extracate them in a
|
|
competition situation whether they desired it or not.
|
|
Perhaps the wisest choice for any ET would be total
|
|
avoidance of recognizable contact with mankind. Could
|
|
this be happening now??
|
|

|
|
So there you have it.
