All Creatures Great, and Small. What would an alien species make of our Literature art politics theologies or we of theirs. If they had any. Another evolutionary tree would cook up unique pathologies. Imagine if the folks from Planet X took our books, and theater politics theologies as solid realities. Suppose their neural wiring can't make the leap from fact to fantasy. Granted folks here have problems with this as well, but bear with me.
These saucer guys would likely say: "...Holy fucking shit these weird folks can create whole worlds whole new realities just like that!" No amount of our telling them it's just made up bullshit will help. From Bugs Bunny to religions to commercials our Alien pals take the lot at face value.
The implications for robbing these rubes blind are on the overwhelming side tempting. What an interesting profitable, and for them terrifying ride our relationship will be.
"No Gort ya just don't get it!"
"Look we just made that bullshit up. Made up as in ain't for real. No that Santa guy Godzilla,...yeah even Batman,...no they ain't real. Eh you getting this? No you can't speak to Wonder Woman about it,...not Zeus neither." Lady Gaga. Um,...well she's part real. Remember I told you about actors. No you can't speak to Bob Hope,...not Fritz Lang neither or that robot."
