Aliens: Benevolent?[edit]

I wouldn't consider the Aliens "benevolent" and I think this misrepresents the point of the story. They aren't donating all those resources to the United States, they are asking for a trade. Clagerty (talk) 16:54, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. In a voluntary exchange one can only assume it's mutually beneficial (ex ante). The Aliens might not know what they are getting into (Knightian Uncertainty), or they may be phishing each inhabited planet for "phools". They may be "benevolent" or they may just be swindlers. So what adjective covers each?

The "conservative" news site Breitbart.com[edit]

Why is Breitbart.com referred here as "conservative" when its own page refers to it as "far-right"? --dbabbitt (talk) 02:06, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
