You cannot have a tribe.
And you won't see this anywhere on Earth.
You can't have a tribe of beings that do not have some form of compassion or empathy or concern for members of their tribe.
And that's not just in humans.
That's also in, like, wolves and, like, prairie dogs and everything that gathers together in groups.
They will cooperate.
They'll help each other out.
And so you need to have that compassion.
So now then to get into science, stuff like that, you need to have a certain curiosity and a desire to learn.
You need to be able to formulate hypothetical scenarios in your mind and then want to find out what happens.
So all these things need to be true in any alien that you might ever meet.
Because otherwise they wouldn't be out in space.
If any of those things are missing.
So you have an entity that already has a concept built in of cooperation, collaboration, language, pack instinct, empathy.
So that to me means it's more likely that if we ever met an alien, it would be a pleasant affair.
