Interesting, I was having a conversation about something similar on LinkedIn.

You step out of your lander on a new planet, prospecting for the minerals required for the robot builders to prepare the station for the second wave in 20 years time.

After you have become addicted to the lobsters, the exo biologist say that they have intelligence somewhere between human and dolphin and their right claw is partially evolved into something resembling an opposable thumb.

More thermidor, I say.

Then you find that, on other continents they have domesticated a number of animal and plant species and are storing food in clay pots and living in villages.

I reckon that's the point where you, regretfully, stop eating them and start getting them to sign away their rights in a treaty for a handful of fish paste.

Absoutely. If we let the intergalactic bureaucracy establish a protectorate, our colonisers will never get to defrost.

The way the earth is at the moment I half expect to arrive and start farming humans as food as we are not a truly evolved intelligent species.

It is a worry. One man's politician is another's lobster.

I use LinkedIn to make my inferiors miserable. A HUGE task, but one at a time.
