Aesop's fables are to humans as humans are to...

Assuming that life forms from the vast number of other specks in the universe are far advanced in comparison to the human race, mentally and technologically, is it safe to say that within minutes or even seconds they could mastermind the logic problems and systems of communication that have become commonplace to us over the course of a few years, decades or even centuries? Seriously, any traveler from another planet would have such extensive knowledge of us at this juncture, our military, technology, theology, philosophy, history, geography... It would be looking over my shoulder right now thinking "man you're dumb" or "this subject is of extremely low intelligence, no threat of hostility or even intellectual thought."

Winded question posed, conclusion reached with no supporting point of view.

Then arises the ultimate argument against: why would they care? Do they feel empathy? Maybe they have enough knowledge of their own history to see us in the same situation now as they once were. World unrest, political upheaval and pollution. Sure, right, fine. They really have their own motives. Say for a moment Predator genuinely cared about what I am doing. He would start a blog and probably comment on mine.
"Went into the city today, killed a few cocaine dealers. Tried to get Danny Glover but he got away (damn he's good). After a hard day killin' and collecting trophies I came home, finished my necklace of skulls..."

The most likely scenario is that other planets are teaching their young "don't be like the humans" while others hunt us for sport.


Predator's infrared sensors would prove obsolete in catching the Governor. Instead he would simply use RSS feeds from FOX News and local Sacramento newspapers.
