Imagine an advanced alien civilization.

It's hard for me to imagine without some technologies. It must have some forms of AI, it must have some forms of robust smart contracts, it must have encryption.

Are they using paper money? Paper ballots for elections? What else seems implausible?

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Say more! I think I agree but I wonder how you imagine the differences. What part of "car culture" do you imagine is implausible?

Are we leaning more "private autonomous vehicles everywhere" or "public transit everwhere" or something else?

Good question!

I bet they all use Robertson screws for everything, like good Canadians.

Do they have screwdrivers or is the screwdriver a human hand biased piece of tech?

Hard for me to imagine getting rid of water for bathing, but easy for me to imagine getting rid of paper.

I hear you on the needle front! <3

Not sure about an alien civ, but I see human beings using paper very far into the future as long as it's convenient, cheap and available. 

In the next 200 years we'll probably do away with a few things
- water for bathing
- combustion engines for individual transportation

As somebody who has an immense fear of needles I hope they figure something out something better there
