“The danger is that we will misunderstand what we are dealing with and fail to respond to it in a way that gives us agency... i think this species is gonna get into the same kind of trouble the Aztecs got into but on a much more massive scale”

Whitley Strieber considers that the Non-Human Intelligence is leaving technological donations to advance humanity so that humans do not have the Aztecs' reaction and are not culturally colonised, and that they are looking for friends rather than slaves.
“then they're trying to get us to the point where we don't have the Aztecs reaction to them, where they don't colonize us culturally... They're looking for friends, not slaves. That's what it looks like to me, I hope.”
