  Patterns of human collective behavior indicative of appropriate 'rules of engagement' for extraterrestrials The following checklist is purely indicative but lends itself readily to extension and deeper articulation. Destabilization of ecosystems and dependent human cultures   by extraterrestrials : Systematic destruction of habits and species, notably leading to their extinction: Theodore Roosevelt:  The settler and pioneer have justice on their side  [in eliminating 1,000,000 bison];  this great continent could not have been kept as nothing but a game preserve for squalid savages . Promotion of deforestation, notably in favour of slash-and-burn and cash cropping Destruction of traditional sustainable local economies Assertion by extraterrestrials of unique authority and status : Promotion of extraterrestrials as uniquely and unquestionably ' chosen ' as purveyors of insight Cecil Rhodes:  We happen to be the best people in the world George Nathaniel Curz...

  In summary the Twin Towers were the greatest symbols of the United States ever constructed. No other landmark came close; not in their scale, not in their presentation, not in the fact they were testaments to what Americans can do if they push themselves to their full potential. No other nation had a pair of skyscrapers like them. It took breakthroughs to get them built, against all odds and even once they were completed had to earn their respect as landmarks. At a time where they sat empty in a broken economy and were loathed as white elephants by New Yorkers, the towers became personalities in themselves and over the course of decades became accepted by the city and the country.

  Writing Guidelines for Future Occupation of Earth by Extraterrestrials Introduction Many have speculated on whether extraterrestrials would be characterized by exploitative, malevolent intent or by enlightened, benevolent intent -- perhaps beyond current human understanding. Of course, any malevolent intent might also be of a kind beyond human understanding, perhaps a form of structural violence, cultural violence, conceptual violence, or even spiritual violence -- which would currently be virtually undetectable. The newly acknowledged cognitive traps in intelligence analysis recognize that there are many levels at which another culture can be misunderstood -- in this case that of the extraterrestrials. A valuable complementary perspective is offered by Johan Galtung (UFOs, Transcend Media Service, 6 September 2010). Extraterrestrial sensitivity: There is one interesting possibility, however. Extraterrestrials may have reached the conclusion that any civilization should be encoun...

  So long, and thanks for all the fish. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons. ---- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy A 1978 radio comedy broadcast on BBC Radio 4, it was later adapted to other formats, including stage shows, novels, comic books, a 1981 TV series, a 1984 text-based computer game, and 2005 feature film.
