Was in charge? Think, they have NO point of reference. For example, it could be percieved that humans work in orer to SERVE their lawns and plant life.

Man, because of our (in OUR eyes) vast domiciles and traveling ability, and lifespan

Cats and dogs, because, man walks, feeds, and picks up their waste, it can be viewed that they are ordering us.

Microviruses because they can kill all life and evolve so rapidly.

Insects because of incredible durability and numbers.

The largest sea animals because their domain >>>> land animals doman...and theyre huge

Largest mammals because of very simple survival of the fittest

Americans because we are the most advanced human society (in OUR eyes)

Plant life because they feed off of the sun, earth, and water, and have immeasurable quantity

Rats, fish, or the most plentiful animals because its such an easy matrice to gauge,

Your thoughts?

damn good question.

i went with plant life, although ocean would be a close second. and depending on criteria one could choose humans or even insects.

but i went with plant life because one, the amount of plant life on the earth, and two, as soon as an area goes uninhabited, by default it goes back into nature mode and nature starts to take over.

but then again, if we could see the entire story of what was going on in our oceans we might come up with a different story.

great concept for a thread

Thanks.

Realistically, they COULD think humans and all mammals work and fight to survive, in order to provide CO2 and fertilizer for their masters...the plants...plus with the lifespan of bigger plants like redwoods?

Or vice versa, because of how land animals can destroy plants with no effort and they provide US oxygen


What a mind fukk lol. I am undecided myself.

Uncertain grounds
I think they would rate the society with the best technologies as the ones in charge, but the microviruses as most deadly.

If the premise is assumed as true that aliens are observing us but have not been here (at least recently or in numbers), then I am sure the thing that they are most concerned about with coming here is their life compatibility with our environment, just as we are concerned with the environment of other planets and their ability to sustain human life. Micro-viruses that could be picked up from essentially anywhere would have to concern them, just as much, if not more so, than any technology that the best human society would have to muster.

I think it would be obvious to them that man is in control of the world, and even more obvious that money is what controls man

why? Money is just a means to barter. Money is indescribaly insignifigant compared to LIFE and other things...I doubt they'd understand the concept of money other than it is used to achieve an end...and what I'm looking at is what they think that end is.

To serve plants?
For man to domaniate other life?

Think more complex.

They might have a form of money and understand it's use.. if we seen them trading with sh1tballs, we would still know that it was a form of currency.. If they had the technology to see us and had to time to observe then I would assume they would be smart enuf to have a vague understanding of our social systems. We have low level understanding of the behavior of lions, we can see the social heircy of monkeys, see how dolphins communicate, etc...

They would probably think America (or whatever they called the region) ran sh1t, and have a very low level understanding of groups, mating habits, different living conditions, and understand that man is the only thing manipulating themselves, the vegetation and the animals. I'm sure they would see some animals in cages, us riding on them, us feeding them with food we've made... and come to some basic elementary conclusions…

I don't know how they would view our ocean and trees, but it's possible that they are also organisms, and it's possible that they understand how they are living on their own planet. So even if they don’t have the same things they can do a comparison --- so If I was to see aliens on a planet that only had hydrogen and some other shyt.. I would assume that's how they survive and I would assume the organisms that they ate didn't run sh1t.

Does anyone remember the old school "take me to your leader" commercial? Im bummed I cant find it on youtube. I think it was a Boy Scouts commercial. An alien comes down and asks these kids "take me to your leader" and the kids say "but we dont have a leader."

I think as a self aware mammalian species we're young in the grand scheme of epochs that have occurred on the planet. We spent the bulk of our species as nomads wandering in small bands up until the birth of agriculture only about 10,000 years ago. Any stray astroid or virus could just as easily wipe us out and leave the earth just as barren of human activity as the Jurassic period. I think from a distance the most durable form of life on the planet have been mircoorganisms like bacteria and viruses.
