If it considered us no more than a feature of the landscape (and my
best guess is that this is the way it would see us), then it would
neither feel friendship nor enmity towards us. It seems as though it
would, from our point of view, be no different from what we now think of
as "forces of nature." (sometimes referred to as "acts of God")
