But what percentage of ants find themselves the subject of human curiosity? We look at a few ants, but not most of them. Maybe it's the same with aliens. We're just another mound of monkeys; nothing they haven't seen before.

This can partly be self-selection. I knew someone who chose to work at Huawei because they were learning Chinese and considered moving to China. Someone like that is a lot more likely to want to work for Huawei than someone who intends to s
