Im surprised about the Orson Scott Card reference to various types of aliens, as the terms, not counting "ramen", are all swedish. "Utlänning" means foreigner , "Främling" means stranger, "Ramen" would mean "frame" in swedish so Im assuming this is a different thing. "Varelse" means creature or being, and "Djur" means animal. Where are these found in his book series and does he explain them and their meaning?

@thiagom8478

That places a interesting path for interaction. Since we have no such limitation, some humans may at first exploit the false sense of security your crow fellows have when we start speaking. What eventually would give them the equally false impression that no humans is safe to be around or can be honest. Not ever. Because we are natural liars and unnatural traitors. Because some of us violated something that is that basic to their perception of reality. Therefore making obvious that we all CAN violate that basic moral principle (what, going in full circle, is correct. We all can talk and be violent at the same time). This sort of hiper-generalization is very common in fiction, both fantasy and scifi. Often using cannibalism (or, more recently racism) as the label that proves a given sort of alien to be "Evil" and totally beyond the possibility of peaceful interaction. However, neither cannibalism nor racism are a base as solid for hiper-generalization as the one you propose. Because both things are possible for humans (and in fact those who speak more loudly against "racism" in current days are wildly racist themselves. They just have elected black as supreme race instead of white, and in their books that does not count as racism). I suppose a very philosophical crow-person, strongly inclined to abstract thinking and Ethical contemplation (over moral contemplation) could understand why their taboo isn't "natural" to us. But even such a fellow would still "feel" we are monsters. Until he manage to overcome that physical aversion.

If the legendary "island of stability" really exists on the periodic table then in theory since at this point we can't find such elements in our solar system we might be able to find a trading partner that resides in a solar system where these elements are available. This would take advantage of uneven distribution of (theoretical) elements that would exist. So I agree that distribution of elements appears to be generally the same across the universe (boring as you put it) the theoretical exceptions that prove the rule would provide amazing trade acquisition possibilities.

Nothing to do wiht sci-fi, but I'd just like to thank you for making these videos. I think my hearing comprehension of English (my third language) has greatly benefitted from these long, yet interesting, videos.

When interacting with aliens, I think it's fair to expect an equal amount of caution and understanding from them as from us. Remember, we are just as alien to them as they are to us. Our natural behaviors, culture, and methods of communicating will need to be understood by them, and if you've been human for long enough, you know that it can be a challenge to understand even other people! The representatives of alien species will likely be scientists and explorers, just like us, and will likely be prepared to learn about us, just like we them.

On the subject of interstellar interaction. Trade: Higher levels of technology have so far required greater varieties of specialization. It follows that each tech level has required a minimum population to support it. Now it may be that this useful rule of thumb won't apply to tech levels ahead of us, or there may not be many tech levels ahead of us. But if the game we're playing DOES have enough tech levels and the rule of thumb I mentioned holds true, a civilization might well reach the point where advancing to the next level requires more population than a particular system has. (For a system populous enough to send colonies to other planets, this would be MANY levels higher than our current state.) Interspecies trade on this model might enhance trade through novel manifestations of the trade principle of comparative advantage, because one species is more efficient at making a particular good or service, or different species just like or value making different things. Also recent high tech levels have generated artifacts which have a high value to size or mass ratio, often from fairly cheap raw materials (computer chips from sand and trace amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus, for example). Higher tech levels may do this more. High value trade need not imply high bulk. Polity: Longevity may well subvert our expectations of how interstellar distances effect interstellar travel considerations over crews staying on mission, or interstellar diplomacy or even a sort of political macrofederalism. If you expect to live 50 years after you contemplate some action, the prospect of an intervention fleet from the fleet node system arriving 300 years from now may not be much of a deterrent. But if your life expectancy is 1000 years or indefinite barring accident or violence, this attitude may well change. Light speed micromanagement is still unfeasible on this scale, But interstellar collective defense/offense may well be possible.

Congratulations on your co-hosting!! Thank you for All your hard work and effort and this pod cast .

Another point that is worth mentioning is the feasability of multispecies civilisations that often exist in Sci-Fi. Let's say you have an interstellar society with inhabitants of 4 different species living there. All of these species have a different amount of legs, arms, digits, optical organs, just everything. Furthermore, if a society like this is supposed to treat these species equally (like they do in aforementioned media), it would need to have 4 different types of chairs, 4 different models for clothing in stores (meaning quadruple the costs of production), completely different kinds of amenities that are essential for their existence. Those are just a few specific examples, and we're not even talking about the language barrier or the air composition of a planet. If alien life would indeed be very different, It's just very impractical and too complicated to co-exist like this

There's still the question of where those beings all are. If they've discovered some exotic technology that provides them with so much cheap, abundant, easily accessible energy that the very stars are no longer of use to them, then they are a powerful race indeed whose capabilities would be nearly boundless. This makes the Fermi Paradox that much worse. If such aliens exist they should be everywhere. The whole universe would be their playground.

I have never seen a high production value video media outlet go a year without a break. SFIA is going on, what? 7 years and only a couple missed episodes, filled in with epic stock reel? What a machine!

Two criticisms (constructive yet worrisome) on the War section: (1) If you've got robots running A.I. software or even approaching sentience, you can always either download a fresh copy of the original software into a new chassis body, or you can possibly download the old one before it's destroyed, perhaps periodic backups, and upload that to storage, then download that copy with all it has learned into a new chassis body. That has even been done in video science fiction with the Cylons in the BSG Reboot, as well as, I think, suggested in an X-Files episode or SkyNet for the Terminators, or I think an old Outer Limits (90's version?) or Twilight Zone (also 90's version?) episode, I can't recall for sure. But yeah, that just adds to the nightmare scenario of that escalating even faster than humans do. Maybe Isaac said that and I missed it. I'm surprised he wouldn't have thought of it, since he's so thorough and a science fiction fan. -- The most worrisome thing about sentient artificial intelligences, if we ever truly achieve those, is how fast computers are. Software that's truly intelligent, sentient, and capable of learning, growing, could potentially outstrip humanity in anywhere from a few nanoseconds to minutes or perhaps days, depending on how fast true sentience processes, even at current computer speeds, much less whatever might be available by the time we have any truly thinking / learning A.I. software, any true sentience. (2) I'm not sure we could say modern conflicts tend to be less frequent or destructive or limited than earlier times. Or more sane than earlier times. Yes, we've probably avoided all-out war sometimes. But just look altho dictatorial powers threatening or actually waging war, such as the war, ongoing for over a year now, between two neighboring former Soviet countries, just for one dictator's fevered ambitions, when the other side hadn't committed any aggression to start a conflict. Or a certain dictator of a small Asian country bent on threatening their immediate neighbors or the US, or potentially large neighbors, all because of one man's insecurities and his cronies in power not refusing him. Or, hmm, a recent former leader with authoritarian wannabe-dictator leanings, allegedly (and likely) responsible for an attempted coup. -- In other words, even in modern times, it's still possible for crackpots and ideological / cult-like leaders and dictators to make otherwise sensible people get into war, large-scale, even, for little more than a personal grudge or ambition, wrapped in a flag of nationalism or religion, or flimsier reasons.

There's a difference between 'limited war' and 'total war.' Or 'regional war' and 'world war.' Sure, you still see some of the former of those pairs, but rather little of the latter.

Compared to the, as Sacred Cow Shipyards would call them, our "Not Quite World Wars" that engulfed huge swaths of multiple continents where millions died and entire cities were completely demolished, we are doing quiet well. While still brutal, we have become much more precise in our application of wanton murder. Also, it's hard to see dictatorial powers as a threat in the future when they've been a constant somewhere in the world since at least the 80's and very few of them last for any length of time. Autocracies tend to have a life expectancy that mirrors the autocrat...

sorely sorely needed topic

Super interesting analysis. I wonder that if first contact is likely going to be with an AI from an alien civilization, particularly a Von Neuman probe type system, whether that A.I. will reflect the values of the biological entities that created it or if has evolved its own values from generations of self replication on the systems long journeys through the galaxy.

@MnemonicHack

Жыл бұрын

That's what I'm thinking will happen. I think there's a good chance there are already aliens in the solar system, in the form of a Von Neumann probe that arrived here long ago. Whether it'll be a machine programmed to deal with us in one way or another, a true AI, a collection of uploaded intelligences in cold storage, or a machine set up to grow biological bodies for it's intelligences, I have no idea. But my money is them already being here, if they exist. I also think it's very likely we're the first on the scene too, and that we'll be the ones sending out the probes. Perhaps we're the aliens, sent by some long-ago civilization that detected a useful world in this system and sent a seed ship here to plant life and guide it's development to a civilization like where we came from.

Its great that Issac doesn't really belive aliens are likely, but he considers the possibilty quite completely. I think it might be possible that humans colonize the solar system, but some splinter group decides to do a deep freeze and take their chance at a trip to pegasus or andromeda. Eons pass and everyone forgets, but sometime in the year 300 thousand, decendants of humans evolve so differently... They might as well be bipedal aliens.

Not quite how the Vex in Destiny work, but the Vex are a great example of a really weird intelligence similar to something like intelligent algae. They're tiny radiolaria that form patterns which can simulate the world around them. The Vex do not have concepts of things, they have simulations of them. They often seem like a hive mind but they aren't, its just that all Vex share the same pattern so they're all identical. Yet this does not manifest in a species that all do exactly the same thing. They divvy up tasks into frames and different Vex collectives do sometimes end up disagreeing, though the latter pretty much only occurs when something they cannot simulate shows up (magic).

I think the great filter could mean they would be less destruction focused relative to us. Being a tools/weapons focused dominator increases risk of self extermination.

After surgery, I don't know if I'm up for an hour long Q and A session..... proceeds to post hour+ long video 🤣🤣🤣... Isaac.... 🤔🤣 Thanks for the vid my man!

I like the part where if we get into a space war, it'll be either evenly matched or heavily lopsided. Really covered all the bases there. I bet we we'd either win or lose in the long run... unless we draw!

If ET taught me anything is keep an extra burner phone you can give to a passing alien friend. Phone home little buddy

When I was in high school I met a girl named Vanessa. She was from Kenya as a foreign exchange student. The world her culture was made is is so entirely different from mine. She was a Christian and I was an atheist. She was swaheli and I was a Big Mac eating bald eagle shooting American. I had autism and she didn’t. We still got along fine, the only other difference I could think of is having facial expressions mean different things.

Coexistence with Aliens....we cant even do it with our own species!

Knowing aliens exist will force to coexist

​@@jaydrianpieters7718 Honestly I'd rather Aliens kill half of us and take over as our slave masters than coexist with a lot of people.

Get well soon Mr Arthur. Edit: _arg the distracting costume alien is back_ 😂

Always a great day with vid release! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️❤️😂

GREAT EPISODE...VOICE SOUNDS GREAT 👍

I was about to ask if Isaac had a cold, but then he explained the surgery. Get well soon.

My personal feeling is that much like on earth, the life forms will be a LOT like us................or more likely nothing like us. Great video.

Wishing you a speedy recovery

27:00 it happens with some experimental equipment too. You need space for new one, so you sell stuff worth millions for 1EUR, with the condition that the recipient have to put it together and do science on it.

I like living with aliens, I just wish they'd contribute more to the planet. Would it hurt to clean the atmosphere a bit? it's not like they pay rent.

I didn't know you had surgery. I wish you a speedy recovery.

"I Come In Peace" with Dolph Lundgren, was what I came to envision was the most likely trade commodity with an extraterrestrial species.

My main man delivers again!

The StarTrek TNG Episode "Darmak" comes to mind with this SFIA episode.

Great episode though has some big plotholes too

Nice to see you are recovering from your surgery… How my cat responds to your newly modified voice remains to be seen - This version calms her down…

13:30 this is basically how Neimoidians work in Star Wars. Hundreds of grubs will be born at the same time and compete for resources and few survive into adulthood. This leads to Neimoidian being greedy and competitive as well as cowardly because their childhood is a battle royale where any loss of resources could mean starvation.

Seems pretty easy to coexist with aliens. Like 'em? Stick around! Don't like 'em? Pick literally ANY direction other than where they're at and just ... go that way.
