And Isaac's constantly changing First Rule Of Warfare is evidence of his being an alien. He natively thinks in quantum bits, so "first" is whatever permutation is active at the moment!

In a novel series I’m writing, the main premise is that an entire extraterrestrial federation with intentions to study the entire Local Group (or further, if they can reach beyond the Local Group) have been studying sapient civilizations from the shadows (non-intrusively) since the dawn of the Human Genus, and humans aren’t the only species that were studied. Basically, the first novel starts with said federation deciding to make first contact with humanity after Apollo 11 happened. Their envoy was supposed to arrive by wormhole in 2016 to start offering trade and federation membership to Humanity in addition to new tech, but they wind up being 20 years late due to a miscalculation.

I'm just thinking of our own history with first contacts. While some of them have gone well, many of them have gone very badly for the locals and caused a lot of issues, and more than a few plagues and mass die-offs. Of the older civilization has a history of contacts with younger civilizations that ultimately ended up with the younger civilization being destroyed as a result of that, I could see that being a motivation for them to block off contacts until either the younger civilizations reached a point they could survive contact, and the older civilization had the skills and tools to do it safely.

Whenever someone throws around that kind of argument-that humanity doesn't qualify as "true sentience" according to an alien civilization-I want to ask them what could possibly be that "higher sentience" that they would put the definition at? You can argue that since we aren't maximally intelligent, there must be discrete steps of intelligence above ours that other life-forms could reach, but that strikes me as being more than a little akin to attempts to define God into existence.

I've always imagined the zoo hypothesis a bit differently. Like... they'd have sort of built the zoo by finding the right rock (planet/solar system) and putting events into motion that would make that rock support RNA and eventually life. I think of it more like a petri dish than a zoo maybe. I imagine it as an experiment to see what would evolve from these basic building blocks, perhaps in an attempt to watch their own evolution, etc. In case it's not implied heavily enough, I mean to say they'd be our relatives, that the RNA woulda been from them; OR they manufactured it somehow another way. The reason we wouldn't see them in this scenario is because it's a science experiment, so visitors may not even be allowed if this is like their lab. It's interesting to think about in the context that sometimes humans claim to be abducted and then returned after undergoing an exam and sometimes even being tagged under their skin. To me, this sounds like something scientists would do if they could. If the hypothesis is even a little true, their interest wouldn't just be us humans. It would be all kinds of life produced from that single sample of RNA, flora and fauna alike. This would explain why we don't see other planets quite like Earth AND the reason these aliens wouldn't interfere if it's a group project with like-minded individuals observing without any _obvious_ interference. If your society is post-scarcity, death-resistant, high tech, and curious, this is EXACTLY the kind of thing I'd expect them to do ESPECIALLY if you combine it with a rare earth hypothesis, where getting to know other species may be a matter of sparking their _creation_ and waiting around until something evolves enough like themselves to be approached. Earth may be some 6th grade alien's science fair project. His dad is helping him, of course.

17:12 I'm reminded that Neil Armstrong claims to have said "One small step for A man", while mission control heard "One small step for man". Poor signal strength? Possibly... Or was it the split-second between Aliens cutting off communications and switching the Armstrong and Armstrong-clone?

I was hoping you would do this eventually. This is my personal belief ;)

Nice to see the graphics are improving :)

Hey, NEVER APOLOGIZE for a speech impediment, to be honest I like it, I really thought it was a sight accent, love your videos

Reminds me of an Analog story (Ray Brown, I think) in which a world went digital and their children, raised digital, came to disbelieve in a "real world", assuming the original universe was just another digital environment. And then began to digitize whole solar systems, and one can see what that looked like from the point of view of still-physical people...

Great video !

Hmm.. Idea alien prison planet! Imagine if Earth was in such a shell, and this was done so that they could use Earth as a ethical type prison planet. Where bad aliens are sent to live out the rest of their life as a member of Earth. Some minor memory wipes, of their past. Then make them think that they are a person of Earth. And poof, alien prison planet.. Worse yet one would never know! lol

@@thingamabitch, all could have started with all but two criminals. And who said the Aliens need be flesh and blood. Maybe all are exiles from a computer world. Scary thought.

good point about echo chambers and the tendency of them to exclude outside points of view even if only for consideration of there own ideas. I almost wonder what a paperclip maximizer echo chamber would look like, lol.

Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden is quite awesome, Isaac.

Well that was a glitch on my part, youtube's new interface is a bit different and I forgot to release it here after posting all the other links to it on Social Media for about 10 minutes :P

9:20 Neat! Now I'm hankering for a sci-fi story about two radio-era civilizations simultaneously discovering each other in the same solar system. That'd be fascinating.

I have long thought the Simulation Hypothesis is the most plausible explanation for the Fermi Paradox. But, Isaac just took it to a new level with the idea that aliens may have built the simulation either to protect us, or more likely to prevent us from becoming the competition.

Yeah but i don't expect anything too comprehensible from an alien either. I'd say ok if they are not flying blobs that absorb energy but more like "flesh" and "bone" curious "civilizations" they might (probably) use some sort of currency or equivalent, we do it so why not them?, also they might not we don't know, what i am sure of is that our money will equal peanuts. I would actually rather accept peanuts instead 😂😂😂😂😂 imagine alien civilization comes to earth and says we want to buy 100 metal machining factories or whatever and we give you 10000000 blergs for them deal?

been a while since you've enumerated the first rule(s) of warfare. Merci Isaac :)

Several Billions of years passed before Earth was even formed, and then a few more billion passed before we Humans became a thing. Hundreds of alien civilizations could have rose and fallen during that time. To say Humans are late to the party would be an understatement.

I laughed soooo hard at the aliens looking in the earth habitat at the beginning. That was SO funny!

You are always so thought provoking. My thought is a what if we are in a computer SIM and the video games we play are actually doing things in their "real" universe? Like in enders game or eve online...?

Whoever made the thumbnail thank you, you saced me 26 minutes.

The first rule of warfare joke cracks me up every time xD

Earth: develop interstellar tech Interstellar Empire : great now bow down and become my vassal follow the rules or face utter annihilation.

@Isaac Arthur I was watching a video about DID (multi personality disorder) and i had the thought of if some of our mental disorders could give us any insight on how alien life could think. i just thought this might lead to an interesting subject for a video. also is there a better place to post video ideas / questions (I would normally try to ask in your live stream but i missed the last one and i will likely forget about this by your next one)

I cant pin down why, but the production level seems a lot higher than normal in this video. not that its normally bad. Great content!
