whatever experts in culturally independent communication they are getting to do it totally deserve the funding

Some of those "experts" proposed genetically engineering a bioluminescent breed of dogs to detect when radiation is nearby, and making viral pop songs about "when the dog starts glowing, run very far away"...

I think some of them got a little too imaginative. Sometimes you think so abstractly that you miss the obvious.

For instance, Carl Sagan suggested we simply mark them with a skull and crossbones, which every organism with an endoskeleton can recognize as a symbol for "death" and thus "danger."

I'd be worried people would end up thinking that is where all the pirated media is buried

Riiight, because "skull = death" is a social construct, but "jolly roger = pirates" is totally a universal constant that transcends time and culture...

Ah, but perhaps it was a ploy all along, and I tricked you into remembering it for posterity so that your distant future descendants all know to run very far away if they notice their cats start glowing!

Aha! Ahahaha! It worked! I'm a genius. I'll accept my Nobel Prize now 🫴
