"It may well be the case that much as there are radically different biologies out there, there are also different ethics. This means any contact must be done through beacons with the ability to encode altruism and signal friendly intent so that they can be understood by other civilizations. It is thus necessary to clearly separate the signal - altruism - from the noise - competition, agressiveness, self-serving -."

"Assuming the key requirement for intelligence-amplifying processes are sex and predation, and having in mind Giselian biology is so vastly different from our own biology, it seems fair to conclude their intelligence is predation-driven. On the other hand, an advanced predator civilization should be able to pretend they are altruistic."

"The bottom line is that contact with any extraterrestrial civilization would mean contact between an extraterrestrial civilization and a xenophobic civilization: us.

"it seems humans were so busy trying to discover the fundamental properties of the DP-2147 beacon as an object in itself, that the iconic properties, those making it a physical sign of something else, were not noted; other attributes became dominant in their experience of it, and thus they failed to understand the message"

"Communication with humans require knowing at least the significant parts of human cognitive maps. After silent interactions and long observation periods, an advanced civilization would be able to simulate our cognitive maps and to represent such varied objects as living beings and reproduce their behavior. Most likely, they already know abaout our ethical values and belief systems, and sure they know we only count on symbolic language for communication. We contend they also know how to perfectly map our sensory perceptions, and how our brain reconstruct events that occur in space and time. If that's the case, we conclude the best contact scenario is through dream states."
