I read Speaker for the Dead not too long ago and it dealt with another intelligent race. I wonder how we would react to them. In the book there is an AI that has gained a consciousness and it wants to reveal itself to the world; however, it is too afraid to do it. With all the aggressive ways we have acted in our movies and books toward new species she has become afraid to show herself. What do you think on this idea? That if you found new life, would you keep it private or would you make it public?

I think this book is saying something deeper than ai having personalities and being afraid to show it. Everyday people walk around afriad to show their personality. I'll be honest in saying I hestiate in showing mine. Humankind has become to stuck on individualism and ones own purpose that we've become insensitive to the others around us. Not caring who our nieghbor is, and since you don't know your neighbor what's the point of caring for your neighbor.So for the rant.
