But I would add there are quite a few, reasonable speculations that would mean any possible alien intelligence would be broadly of the same cognitive ability as ourselves. It is, as the video suggests, just a thought. The level of intelligence of an extra terrestrial being really is guesswork. Only way we'll ever truly know is if they come down and say hi. Unless they perceive us the same way we perceive ants ofcourse... |
