Yes.

House of R
‘Project Hail Mary’ Deep Dive. Plus: Andy Weir!

You cannot have a tribe.

House of R
‘Project Hail Mary’ Deep Dive. Plus: Andy Weir!

Right.

House of R
‘Project Hail Mary’ Deep Dive. Plus: Andy Weir!

And you won't see this anywhere on Earth.

House of R
‘Project Hail Mary’ Deep Dive. Plus: Andy Weir!

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.

House of R
‘Project Hail Mary’ Deep Dive. Plus: Andy Weir!

And that's not just in humans.

House of R
‘Project Hail Mary’ Deep Dive. Plus: Andy Weir!

That's also in, like, wolves and, like, prairie dogs and everything that gathers together in groups.

House of R
‘Project Hail Mary’ Deep Dive. Plus: Andy Weir!

Right.

House of R
‘Project Hail Mary’ Deep Dive. Plus: Andy Weir!

Yeah.

House of R
‘Project Hail Mary’ Deep Dive. Plus: Andy Weir!

They will cooperate.

House of R
‘Project Hail Mary’ Deep Dive. Plus: Andy Weir!

They'll help each other out.

House of R
‘Project Hail Mary’ Deep Dive. Plus: Andy Weir!

House of R
‘Project Hail Mary’ Deep Dive. Plus: Andy Weir!

So all these things need to be true in any alien that you might ever meet.

House of R
‘Project Hail Mary’ Deep Dive. Plus: Andy Weir!

Because otherwise they wouldn't be out in space.

House of R
‘Project Hail Mary’ Deep Dive. Plus: Andy Weir!

Right.

House of R
‘Project Hail Mary’ Deep Dive. Plus: Andy Weir!

If any of those things are missing.

House of R
‘Project Hail Mary’ Deep Dive. Plus: Andy Weir!

So you have an entity that already has a concept built in of cooperation, collaboration, language, pack instinct, empathy.

House of R
‘Project Hail Mary’ Deep Dive. Plus: Andy Weir!

So that to me means it's more likely that if we ever met an alien, it would be a pleasant affair.
