Supplying a motivation to a culture far in advance of ours, without any information on that culture is:

A)Clearly Anthropomorphic

B)Baseless Speculation

c)Fun to argue about?

Extrapolating our technology to theirs...speed of light barriers, expansion problems, etc. is the same.

“Supplying a motivation to a culture far in advance of ours, without any information on that culture is:”

“A)Clearly Anthropomorphic”

Experience up to this point in time has demonstrated more advanced intelligence and technology has enabled the universal motivation for survival to anticipate threats and neutralize those threats before the threats reach fruition. In the absence of no contact with any more advanced species or culture, there is no currently available example of a species that is not motivated to neutralize species competing in the same environment.

“B)Baseless Speculation”

Motivations based upon universal conditions for adaptation and survival are observed realities and cannot be dismissed as baseless.

“c)Fun to argue about?”

Until the alien colonists arrive....
