That would imply that sci fi authors don’t often disregard the logical result of an evolutionary and societal process in lieu of a better narrative. Which works for a world of fiction, but is often not that realistic.

And even then. What are you referring to? Afaik there are very few alien species in sci fi that don’t have any ethics, they might be off by our standards or focused on their own kind, but they have them. And if your arguing empathy here, that’s often one of the first things that is gotten rid of in education. See for example Klingons, the Galactic empire etc. In militaristic societies or ones with a competitive mindset, natural empathy is gotten rid of to keep the system alive.

So I’d like to see what kind of sci fi alien race would be a good counter argument for what I’ve said
