Will Aliens Treat Us The Way We Treat Animals?

Sunday, 25 August 2024 - 1:00pm to 2:00pm

Would aliens treat us the way we treat animals?

 If aliens landed today and we made first contact, what would be the outcome for us? Could we justify expecting compassionate treatment from a technologically superior civilisation when we ourselves cannot show this compassion for those we see as inferior? 

 Meg delves into the idea of first contact in all its manifestations, how this might go for us, and how the knowledge we are not alone might change our ideas of all life on earth and how we treat that life.
