I doubt that we r sufficiently
FORTUNATE
to dwell in a dead Cosmos, but we'd be safer from depredation,
if we did. What happened to the Indians when we arrived ??
If we arrive at an unknown, unexplored place,
if we find it populated by mosquitos, snakes, toads, etc.
we will not negotiate with the natives (said snakes, etc.).
We 'll just take over and use it as we wish.
If beings arrive from another Gallaxy,
thay will thereby have shown a more advanced technology than we have.
Will the mental difference between us and them
exceed that between us and toads ?
Defensive trouble ????
If a sweet, benign superspecies arrives here (the Vulcans or E.T.)
does that mean that there r not large numbers of predatory species (Borg, Clingons or worse ?) out there ?????
