A Different Way of Thinking

It takes a certain amount of hubris to believe that intelligent alien life forms would be anything like humans. Intelligence can evolve in ways we cannot even imagine, but we should try to. We have an example right here on earth. An octopus is intelligent, but its neurological system is very different from all the land animals we are familiar with. “It’s not about how intelligent they are, it’s about how they are intelligent.”

Now imagine this video from Lizbeth's perspective. She was abducted by an alien species, taken to a lab, studied, scanned, and experimented on, and then brought back home unharmed. Do you think any of her friends are going to believe that tale? (via Digg)
