Re: Aliens: everything you know is... well, "wrong" doesn't even begin to cover it.
I don't mind keeping in mind that aliens might be different - and well - alien. I do think we have to keep in mind that they will be results of evolution (cybernetic aliens - by definition - must have been constructed by evolved beings at some stage) And that evolution, with its simple demand that survival means adaptation. And that anything we can interact meaningfully with must also have behavior based evolution. means although Intelligence of aliens can be very alien, it should still follow evolutionary rules that we already recognize and understand (more or less).
