[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago* (1 child) would an alien still have the same moral standards that we have? if so, why? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago Probably not the same but there would probably be a fair bit of overlap. Crossing huge distances to come to Earth would require a high degree of intelligence and cooperation which implies a social species. Likely that means they would have evolved to have empathy and social behaviours just like we did. That's my guess anyway, it's a fun question to think about. permalink fedilink source parent
