Until we learn to communicate with bees and ants and colonial insects, we can forget about communicating with extra planetary aliens
I’ve had that same thought.
We can’t even talk to chimpanzees, gorillas, dolphins and whales, that are supposedly as intelligent as we are, beyond a few simple commands and phrases.
If we can’t have a ‘talk’ to these creatures, how will we ever ‘talk’ to ones from another planet?.................
