Why is that their immediate instinct is like, let's just kill everybody.

So that's why I think that we write it that way.

Because that's what we would do.

So we put our own self in those scripts when we write Aliens.

But if they were smart enough, if they could traverse these incredible distances, would their first action be aggression?

Yeah.

There was like, it's resource gathering.

They do a lot of that.

But I feel like Arrival had a pretty, in my mind, good depiction where obviously it took liberties with some of the science, but it felt still in this world of science realism, or at least they were trying to obtain that.

And I really appreciated that.

What about The Day the Earth Stood Still?

If aliens visited us, they were clearly more intelligent.

Yeah.

That's what I'm trying to, because I guess, again, we're assuming aliens are these life form style creatures.

And we're not finding them to your point, Neil.

They're like coming to find us.

So yeah, I guess they just intrinsically would be more intelligent.

But then I guess, sorry, now I'm just being pedantic, but like, what is intelligence?

They'll know more than us about certain things, but I'm sure there'll be different verticals of information that we are much well-versed in than they are.

But are they going to know about delicious tacos and nachos, Neil?
