Re: We are the Aliens...

It is so very human, as in human nature made me do it, to do what you two are doing here - describing the human race in terms of aliens as a way to better understand ourselves.
Describing/assigning traits to other species from other planets when we don't know one thing about them is likely a rhetorical way of describing ourselves, and the types of people we see here on earth.

Some have no soul, no morality, others are helpers, healers, wise ones and brutal militant ones. Atheists, believers. Just like people we see everyday.

There is a very strong human trait that wants to explain the unexplained, or unexplainable. From the first time a human saw the Northern Lights at night, we started to explain things we don't know much about by relating them to god, or gods, and their magnificant creations. higher powers have allways been brought to the human mind because there is OBVIOUSLY something at work here on earth that is a higher power than we are. Science has shown me, at lest, that nature does all those things - Norther nlights are so amazing to see, but are just natural phenomenon.

Explaining these things got humans to create god. And then Aliens as more things needed explanation.

I even do it, in small ways, when I play backgammon online:
I start thinking something is making the dice do these things to let me win so easily most of the time. But then I realise it is a software program that has its quirks, sometimes coinciding with my desires. When it does, it needs explaning, and i start to think of some force working through my mind that can affect the dice.... but that is not real, it is our human trait developed over millions of years that wants to explain coincidences and improbable events.
