Discussion»Questions»Outside the Mug» If you were to visit an inhabited planet would you prefer one where 'people' are just as advanced as us, lesser advanced or more advanced?
Wow, that's truly a difficult choice: if less advanced, I could rule, I could be like Superman on Planet Earth. If more advanced, I could learn so much!
Randy, you are missing that ”less advanced” could also encompass natives tossing you in a pot and eating you. Or, it could be like Pakistan. Who wants that?
YES!!!!!!!! How'd ya know??? It's such a 9th grade joke. Don says it is a 6th grade joke. I guess boys learn more about comics than most girls at a younger age. :D!

That is a HILARIOUS joke, though!!!! Even these days, some people I tell that joke to have never heard it!!! Makes it even better with the new Wonder Woman movies out!!!
I guess boys were into comic books more than girls at that age....and all the boys wanted to be Superman, but we all had the hots for Wonder Woman!!!......
More advanced. I wouldn't have to speak since we could communicate by thought. Of course joke telling would be out of the question since they would know the punch line ahead of time. You could watch a two hour movie in 5 min that would save time.
With my passion for learning, this is a no-brainer: more advanced.
Such a society would have worked out how to live more sustainably and more comfortably, and are more likely to have shed the bonds of odious superstitions and fatuous religion.

I hope more advanced, which would mean they were more intelligent....the intelligent part would be easy, since everyone on Earth seems to have lost ALL forms of intelligence.....generally speaking, of course.....
More advanced. I can learn more from them or they could just keep me as a pet and I can lounge around at home all day while they work and provide food and lodging for me, their helpless little animal.
