If it had been intended to be understood by some aliens, hieroglyphs would have been less stupid because here no spirit nowhere but from Earth and English speaking can understand this alone, without more visual things for, without training examples. Searchers did that for chimps, but can a president have enough empathy to think about, yet?

@A_Mimi@kolektiva.social There are 55 languages on the disc, and also info to create rasterized pictures of things from Earth. I don't think the science team thought that even intelligent life would be able to figure it all out simply by hitting "PLAY" - it would take a while, but they definitely didn't create a Western ideal of the Earth on it. It was a more generalized version of "standard Earth scenery" incorporated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_Golden_Record
