I guess it would make sense that the majority of species that managed to cooperate long enough to get off-planet before they wiped themselves out would be less aggressive and environmentally destructive than humans. And the jury&#39;s still out on us, of course... stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132728262588599801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216910.post-7769625765929079652017-06-17T03:02:43.809-07:002017-06-17T03:02:43.809-07:00DO YOU NEED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE?

I hav...I still think a nice exoskeleton would nice. I have found that my soft fleshy exterior is able to be harmed by sharp, bladed instruments, explosives, incendiaries, firearms and Xacto knives (which, although technically a &quot;sharp, bladed instrument&quot;, really belongs in a class of its own. And since, yes, I have healed from stabbings, slicings, shootings and a few chemistry experiments gone slightly awry I would agree that we humans have a wonderfully uncanny ability to heal. Perhaps we could install a &quot;volume&quot; dial or dampening device on our extremely intricate and expansive network of nerve endings? The healing process doesn&#39;t feel too quick when your nerve endings feel like you are being burned with electricity. Just some suggested upgrades I&#39;ve noticed as my amazing human meat suit gets older and more experienced.

Poul Anderson&#39;s 1960 _The High Crusade_ is an exemplar. Disch&#39;s 1965 _The Genocides_ prominently inverted the trope in which despite their overwhelming advantages and incredible technology, the aliens... won. We started seeing other examples in the &#39;70&#39;s in Tiptree and Varley.<br /><br />But it still looks to me like &quot;Independence Day&quot; is the rule.Zed Lopezhttp://zedlopez.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216910.post-61984447487848625512016-06-05T11:03:31.335-07:002016-06-05T11:03:31.335-07:00Pursuit predation is exactly what cheetahs do.
