- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

I’m pretty sure that if there's an intergalactic rule like this, coercing species into being dumber would also be against the rules.
Against the spirit/intent of the rules, probably, actually against the rules dubious.
Make A Galaxy edible Again!
So... Peter Thiel is an alien?
That would surprise absolutely no one.
The aliens should consider changing the rule to anyone with a financial value that has a z-score of 2.33 on a bell curve relative to the rest of the world's population.
Given the aliens have a big appetite and understanding that this would eventually wipe out the human race, perhaps limit the numbers of humans that can be eaten to the birth rate of humans so that they create a sustainable supply of food.
Eat the rich!
This is kinda the plot the later Callahan's books by Spider Robinson. Man-eating aliens who believe the only ethical way to slaughter is to trick the meat into slaughtering itself, and so they infiltrate humanity to encourage that.
So .... aliens are sugar coating us to make us tastier?
How to Serve Men is a propaganda book.
being 8 times dumber than someone does not mean the other person is 8 times smarter than the other.
1/8 of the smart is what the alien is looking for.
Nobody said the aliens were smart.
yes doctor that's the spot
