On: Hear Me Out: If We Find Life Out There Maybe We Should Kill It

Because your neighbor is the same species and so you have some idea of what it's like inside their head.

When your neighbor is a different species, this is pretty much exactly what humans do: kill it. The more unfamiliar, the faster it gets killed.

Is it bad for the ecosystems, biodiversity, your soul? Yes on all counts. But it's pretty consistent human behavior.

We don't have any idea what's inside Americans'head when they voted again for Trump.

We should preemptively nuke America now.
