Thank you for joining us.
the possible existence of something like us
there were other civilizations like us billions of years ago
therefore there should be things like us
around those stars and they existed before us.
They know about us and they're avoiding us.
than we are, why would we think they would treat us any better
They don't care about us.
And I think it's really important for us
And what can take us out?
that someone else is doing better than us.
It will inspire us.
was looking for near-earth objects to protect us
there are already here with us, maybe under bodies of water,
you know, over the US, that's a concern.
that allows us to figure out the distance.
we have two eyes for that reason that it allows us to ascertain
the distance of a threat or predator that comes to haunt us.
And that would allow us to figure out the speed
They want us to put a Galileo project observatory there
We should not rely on government to tell us what lies
the US relative to its competitors.
And all of us just being on the same page,
and it's an extraordinary claim to imagine someone like us
of the US government.
Maybe it will cut down the risk of us living only on one rock
And not searching for things like us, technological civilizations.
because it can inspire us.
I think something like us near another star must have happened over and over again for billions of years.
But it's interesting to find out what the others did before us, you know,
So you think that the big discovery one day may be us being archaeologists looking at an already extinct
arrive to us. They arrive at our doorstep before we arrive at their doorstep.
about us and just are not that interested in us? Yeah. I think that we are not
doesn't care much about them. We tend to think that they care about us and that's why we should
be worried. You know what makes me nervous, Avi? What makes me nervous in that metaphor is us as
something interesting. And all of a sudden the biker comes over and just like squishes us. Do you
restaurants you see on the menu animals that we regard as inferior to us. I'm really
aliens if they come to earth they would put us in their soup. Okay. You say this rather
for us to protect ourselves against it so it should be banned any researcher mirror life should be
hand so that is concerning that would be my worry I'm not worried about them doing anything to us
you're you're worried about us just being fundamentally incompatible or maybe in an extra
extraterrestrial micro just wiping all of us out I hear that is that is that what keeps you
we might realize that there is superhuman intelligence something that is smarter than us in the
if we interact with artificial intelligence and it gets to a point where it's smarter than us
sufficiently wise after some training to trick us and and basically satisfy our wishes I already
doing actions that will be remembered you know we all want people to remember us fondly and it's
do not live forever you know that we die we want to live something behind us but you know
alien intelligence before artificial intelligence becomes smarter than us oh I feel like that that
you know it's the fundamental question is is the evidence around us we were just ignoring it we
