The sci-fi, laser shooting, UFO, highly advanced and telepathy communicating aliens just dont do for me
First of all I hope we all agree that:
- Sci-Fi aliens and alien technology are imaginary and probably have nothing to do with anything in the universe.
- UFO = Unidentified Flying Object =/= Aliens. It could be a flying vehicle, atmospheric phenomena, objects from space entering earth's atmosphere or who knows what. But definetely not aliens. They wouldn't cross millions or billions of light years just to come on Earth and do nothing.
But I can't follow Dogfood here. Why they CAN'T be more advanced than us? Is there a cosmic conspiracy or what?
The portrayal of aliens are quite Earth based too. I mean if they're absolutely different from us, then why do they use Human digestive system, ocular system? What if instead they don't have any human-like features but instead looks some-sort of amoeba-like?
Sure, aliens can be more advanced or less. However, Homo sapiens think that we're the best IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE. Because you know, Homo sapiens.
