Alien argument for multiplicity

Superimmortality predicts that some alien bodies could produce the same ixperiencitness as some human bodies do. An alien society that is advanced enough to travel to earth from their world would likely have an understanding of the science of superimmortality as good or better than humans do. Thus they will realize that humans can have ixperiencitnesses equal to their ixperiencitnesses or percentage wise equal to them. Sharing some degree of ixperiencitness identity with us will make them less likely to be a serious danger to us. If however we get eliminated by what ever means, our ixperiencitness could still be carried on with them. They also might make deliberate efforts to produce human ixperiencitnesses or enhanced human ixperiencitnesses for a number of different reasons. For example to understand conscious beings to a greater degree.
Human bodies were not meant to travel through or live in outer space. Electronically produced conscious bodies would be much easier to send traveling through and living in outer space than human bodies. They would not need human food or air to breath. They could live on electricity produced in many different ways in outer space. They would not need to be kept warm. They would be more resistant to radiation than human bodies. They can be as complicated and intelligent as needed and connected to any kind of body structure so they can perform many different tasks directly. They would not need space suits or have to live within a space ship. Their bodies could live much longer than human bodies and be replaced easier than human bodies with the same consciousness and ixperiencitness when their original are some how destroyed. Some of these ideas are fairly obvious. What superimmortality predicts, that is novel, is that these conscious being can have human ixperiencitnesses or enhanced human ixperiencitnesses. What this means on a personal subjective level is that consciousnesses that "you" can experience can be produced in that way. You do not have to travel around the universe in a human body to experience existing in and traveling around the universe. It is thus likely that any aliens that we see on earth or in outer space will be modified to travel around the universe as easily as possible. Since they can live in outer space easily, they are not likely to need the earth as a home to take over from us.
The point of this page is that the understanding of consciousness and ixperiencitness that superimmortality reveals, reduces the actual or potential danger from aliens from outer space, and thus can reduce the fear that some people have of aliens from outer space destroying mankind.
