That superpower is adaptability.

And other species, other races don't have that.

They don't have intellect like that that can solve problems like that.

You could almost say that humans could solve any problem that exists in the entire universe that we could find a solution for it.

You make a lock, we can make a better locksmith or a lockpick, you know, a better thief.

That would be a crazy thing because you could see how a super advanced species could be monitoring us, watching us, not consider us to be a threat.

But the moment we start playing around with nuclear weapons, the moment we start manipulating space time, now all of a sudden it's a big threat.

Maybe that's their mode of transportation.

Maybe we suddenly threw a bunch of boulders in the middle of their freeway and they're going, hey, chill out, stupid primitives.

We're using them.

We're trying to drive through here.

That's how I think people should be thinking about aliens.

Don't personify them.

Don't try to make them like us.

Try to think about where will we be looking at our technology right now?

Where are we going to be in 100 years?

Where are we going to be in 1,000 years?

Where are we going to be in a million years?

Would humans a million years from now give a crap about where we are right now?

Do we care about what the ants are doing down in their molehills?
