Lecture: Complexities of Understanding Alien intelligences

It is difficult to understand the language, species-specific rules and biology of the diverse fauna of life found on Earth from octopii to humans. Understanding the language, species-specific rules and biology of Alien intelligences poses a set of similar challenges as well as ultimately unique challenges not found with known life forms. We discuss what these similarities and differences are, within the context of implications on the study of Alien intelligences.
