+172 Even with our cognitive abilities, there's so much in life we can't comprehend (i.e. Certain colors we can't even see) When we think of aliens, they are based on things we've seen already, like egg yolk, big head, or different parts of animals. The fictional things we can imagine are at least some combination of what we already know. In dreams, the people we see are those whom we've seen before, including people of seemingly forgotten faces. Our perspectives just don't go that far, amirite?

we tend to think very highly of ourselves but the truth is that our imagination is quite limited.
