Childhood's End: revealing aliens, Drake equation, and scientific inquiry
b'Arrival/First Contact \\n\\n
Aircraft shielding. Impressing upon humanity the futility of resistance.
\\n\\n Selecting Diplomats \\n\\nAlien diplomatic moneyball.
\\n\\n They Know Us \\n\\nFlawless colloquial earth languages. Cultural context. How to manipulate apes. Benevolent alien dictatorship.
\\n\\n Curbing Scientific Inquiry \\n\\nApproaching utopia removing incentives for innovation. Alien limits on research. \\u201cThe stars were not meant for man.\\u201d
\\n\\n The Great Filter \\n\\nMaybe these aliens in the show are the great filter. Filling in some slots of the Drake Equation. Maybe we\\u2019re just terrible for the universe and they know it. :/
\\n\\n Butt Numbers \\n\\nDirected evolution at a scale of tens to thousands of years.
\\n\\n Alien Appearance \\n\\nThis part is too spoilery for this page
\\n\\n Remember Us \\n\\nNot too much to ask, really. We could have had a worse run.
