Neil is not only a scientist, but also a philosopher.

Aliens be annoyed that they can’t block spam calls

"But then I think about it"
I think he is such a great person because he is asking the right questions. Especially to and about himself.

[fezphilip]

We're literally and figuratively projecting to aliens.

[TheOJDrinker]

This is also why we fear AI... we think they would turn against us, because that's what WE would do.

"we have been trying to reach you about your spaceships extended warranty"

[spasebar]

This is why I like stories like E.T. or Superman. It's like an optimist mirror of our generous selves.

[lucassimpson]

He’s so right. The more I listen to Dr. Tyson the more I like him.

[Gogyo]

“Or is it really a mirror to ourselves” damn.

[CrypticCobra]

Facts, we are definitely the bad neighbor and the whole neighborhood moved out to avoid us.

[liivemovement]

This is one of the most profound observations I’ve heard in a long time

[Jasmineshelley-oyfb]

It's the mirror image of the way we treat each other

[Celephinn]

Humans are scared that aliens will treat humans like humans treat animals.

[adamrodger]

"It has never boated well" good lord these fucking captions

[joev]

This needs to be the beginning audio to an alien invasion movie haha

[MiguelOrtiz-bzmv]

He couldn’t have said it any better thank you my brother❤❤❤

[dkbroman]

I've been thinking this the entire time. If Earth starts to die and we find another habitable planet with life there, we'd force ourselves on the planet and if they have different laws than us then we'd force our laws onto them.

[jericabenson]

Omg. This is so well articulated!!! My mind is blown because I too have always thought “why the phuq are we sending out a signal to find us to interstellar beings”…. And it’s the fear of knowing what our species has done to our planet and to our own species could be done to us in a greater capacity

[HariSeldon]

The biggest reason aliens get portrayed as evil is because the story requires an antagonist and there's a limit to how many times our own government can be the bad guys and not have people saying it's too much like real life.

[KIM-xlzs]

Neil is brilliant no matter what anyone says
