Do you believe in extraterrestial life?

The same goes. If you trace it back far enough, aquatic life has indeed reached intelligence, as the first life on Earth was aquatic. However, in order to gain intelligence, aquatic life will need to start living on land and evolve there. Underwater, who needs tools? Who needs a home? Who needs farming and domestication? The same goes for insects. Because of their hive mind, anything they lack in intelligence, they can compensate for in numbers.

Not all insects live in hives. I know that there is a spider in existence that has a brain (Small as shit but beside the point.) Who is to say that it couldn't evolve into walking upright and using tools while maintaining there exoskeleton.

I thought spiders were not insects?

Spiders indeed aren't insects, but both are too small to gain the intelligence humans do. Also, having 8 legs (or 6, in the case of insects) would mean standing upright is not necessary, not to mention I imagine it being quite hard without a spine. I also think insects still have normal brains, jellyfish being the only animals without brains that I can think of right now. But you hit the nail on the head right there. The brains they have is small as shit. Humans have massive brains compared to their total size, which has developed by, for instance, the examples I provided before.

Okay let me ask this do you think there will ever be aliens that are not of mammals.


EDIT: I am sorry spiders are not insects, I was thinking about arthropods.

Well, seeing as other life would evolve completely differently from Earth's, yes, there are probably aliens that will not be mammals. Nor reptiles. Nor insects. They will be completely different...although I doubt they'll be blue hermaphrodites with human reproductive organs.
Or, and forgive me for using a fantasy series instead of a science fiction one, reptiles with tits...reptiles with fucking tits.

Sorry to every lady on this forum but you gotta love titties.

I certainly appreciate them, but not on fucking reptiles. They're called reptiles for a fucking reason.

I wonder if female turians have tits? We never saw one so, ya...

Probably. Most likely, they look just like male turians, but then with five massive tits or something.

Okayyyy....

What? You can't look me in the eye and seriously say the aliens and other races in The Elder Scrolls and Mass Effect make the least bit of fucking sense.

They make some sense a little...maybe...

How, though? The asari are blue, which sounds terrible, evolutionary speaking. Unless they're highly poisonous, that is. Argonians, as I said, have tits despite being reptilian and the hanar and alchor have no hands.

The Asari home world does look pretty blue though.

Planet.

Inhabitants.

Your logic is lacking.

The plants and other life forms look blue (according to wiki) because of element zero and biotics. Camouflage, ya know the thing almost every species on our planet has to evade predators and stalk prey.

Except that your logic is still lacking.
In spite of the fact that a large amount of Earth is green or blue from orbit, humans (and many successful animals for that matter) did not come out that way.

There is a certain amount of doubt that just because it would be ideal for a species to be a certain color, they would be. That Asari are in line with the overall color of their planet from outer space actually makes only a dubious amount of sense.

Well, it's possible that the Asari indeed had to survive using camouflage, although that would make it seem like their intelligence would develop much slower.

That is what I mean, the plants are blue from element zero, it makes sense in a hunting point of view.


EDIT: Doesn't make sense how the plants get energy however seeing as though chlorophyll is green. Perhaps that is blue as well?
