Quoted By:
There are three universal laws that can be applied to any alien civilization without ever having met them;
>1. THEIR SURVIVAL WILL BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN OURS.
If an alien species has to choose between them and us, they won't choose us. It is difficult to imagine a contrary case; species don't survive by being self-sacrificing.
>2. WIMPS DON'T BECOME TOP DOGS.
No species makes it to the top by being passive. The species in charge of any given planet will be highly intelligent, alert, aggressive, and ruthless when necessary.
>3. THEY WILL ASSUME THAT THE FIRST TWO LAWS APPLY TO US
The game plan is, in its simplest terms, the relativistic inverse to the golden rule: "Do unto the other fellow as he would do unto you, and do it first"..
If there is even the slightest chance of us being a threat, or becoming a threat to their civilization, they will destroy us.
