Alien Predators Alien Predators – Would you put all our eggs in their basket? Continued from Page 21 Whatever our existential base, whatever our meaning as a living thinking species, we can expect to be set against alien extraterrestrials and their implied superiority in their terms and not ours. It all implies control, the control of the inferior by the superior. We have seen how this works when our own record as a species is set against the control of non-human animal species. We have decimated them ruthlessly. This is I think the point that underlies Hawking's assertion. Yes he encourages that we avoid contact with an alien resource, but if it is inevitable and is forced upon us, we as individuals have an inalienable right to know what our fate is likely to be. dismantling mechanisms of a universe governed the load."
