Comment by GeoAtreides

the hierarchy of foreignness (Ender's game):

utlanning: a human from the same world, but a different city, country, or culture

framling: a human from a different planet or star system

raman: a non-human intelligent species capable of communication, mutual understanding, and peaceful coexistence

varelse: an alien species whose mind is so fundamentally foreign that communication and coexistence are impossible

djur: the dire beast, that comes in the night with slavering jaws

Hoping our silicon sons and daughters are raman, fearing they are varelse.
