Reasons why the analogy does not work: 1. presumably the aliens already exist as living sentient beings--there is a moral difference between murdering a baby and using a condom. 2. There is also a realpolitick difference as well: the aliens came from somewhere, presumably a somewhere with more aliens. How will those ones respond if our first interaction is violent? Quoting @robinhanson Imagine we saw a big alien starship heading toward Earth. We think they are so advanced they could do us great harm, if they wanted. We have a way to destroy it, but only if we do so soon, & there's not time to talk to them first. Should we destroy it? Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
