    I think that as long as we pass this test from their perspective then it’s fine

    We have to convey the 3 check boxes to one another.

    It doesn’t matter who is more advanced as long as both species can answer yes to all 3 questions

      The first question is the problem. If the aliens have an analog rule (“Do they possess our intelligence or greater?”) then it only works if humans and them are roughly the same intelligence.

      ☑️ Does it have Tier 5 intelligence or greater?

      ☑️ Is it of sexual maturity for the species?

      ❌ Can it communicate with subatomic gamma waves?
