This guest post first ran over 2 years ago, in November 2006. How time flies...It's intent is not prescriptive but as a thought experiment to think what our situation might look like from a different (alien) perspective.

This is a guest post from First Talosian, the senior member of the planetary expedition force from Talos. I am posting the correspondence as we received it, unedited. (there are spelling and grammatical errors). In it he describes his culture's perspectives on Earth's history and future with particular emphasis on our energy and ecological intersections. The graphics were added by me after reading his letter.
