    If an intelligent creature from another planet was to come to Earth and observe us, would they consider us strange and inneficient? I was looking around at everything, wondering how it came to be, such as government. Couldn't it have easily developed totally different? Is the way we do it most efficient?
    On a smaller scale, would an alien see our ways of dressing and communicating innefficient? We sometimes dress up for certain occasions. Why do we have to put different styled clothing? If you were not conditioned to our society, you would have no idea that wearing a whole suit was fancier than a teeshirt and jeans. We also see so many fluxuations in wealth, like we are living seperately, yet we are together under government. We sometimes gather in places, such as Church/Temple/Mosque or a play, to watch seemingly normal people seperated from the rest of the people, doing something that would appear meaningless to outsiders. We have all styles of architecture from different regions. Were we born to notice that a massive glass chandelier is preferable to a little light bulb that emits the same amount of light? We can't agree on a common belief. Would another being be baffled by the way we fight over it?
    Or do you think all societies would have these deformities in their culture? I always wonder about how strange we really are, and how easily today could have been totally changed by a tiny event in the past. If we observed other beings, we would probably think of them as strange, but I wonder about which is the most efficient from an unbiased point of view.

    Thank you for reading

    Well, how do you know they didn't create us? If that's the case they better not find us strange since they created us under their image.

    Humans are remarkable and somewhat out of the ordinary here on earth, i don't know if that makes them strange or not.

    No, Humans are divine creatures and are the masters of all the universe and if any other intelligent being saw us they would bow to us rightfully.

    LOL, I always wondered if they would think machines rules the earth and we were just fleas who lived on them.

    Oh no, the very sight of a Human would make them cringe in fear.

    Great. We haven't met an alien society, but we already have human supremacists.

    Why should i be proud ? There are more reasons to be ashamed than there are reasons to be proud..

    P.S. You forgot to answer the question: Would God bow to us ?

    Because you are a Human, a being of the purest blood and divine existence. No being is above a Human.

    Depends, is God real?

    They're called "humans", and I think there's billions of 'em ...all over the world ...doing shitty things to other "humans" out of greed, selfishness and lack of compassion.
