Do we sieze the alien's means of production?
Do we sieze the alien's means of production?
Yet it is abundantly clear how capitalism would react to an alien encounter
the same way it reacts to everything else
Capitalism's official position on alien life is "The Dark Forest". Just ignore the fact that people keep choosing "Cooperate" in the prisoner's dilemma no matter how much game theorists mald about it being illogical.
I've never understood people who think of civilized aliens as any different from humans as far as ethical question go. Just a fundamentally different way of viewing the universe I guess. Every ethical question regarding aliens could be solved by answering the same question regarding humans from an undiscovered landmass. Should we exploit them? No. Should we conquer them? No.
These questions are not difficult.
