Aliens want to communicate and they decide to use you and your personality as the base model for all humans. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

    We aren’t. Maybe we dead because of my unending bickering about the futility of life, but screwed? Nah.

    Well, there’ll be a lot less billionaires pretty quickly, from there it’s gonna be a lot of references to star trek, doctor who, dead philosophers and general southernisms.

    I actually think we’d be pretty solid. I’m a decent guy and with decent as a minimum we could go really far.

    Well as someone with ADHD, depression, and anxiety, as well as being on the spectrum, initially we’d be kinda screwed. I have spent a lot of time in therapy and have done a lot to manage it all, as well as developing empathy for myself and others, so not so bad.

    However, I choose to be a non-theistic Satanist and an anarchist, so a lot of other people are going to be fucked. Especially those that deserve no empathy due to their hoarding of resources and exploitation of people and the planet.

      I’ll gladly take aliens trying to cure me of an ADHD and depression i don’t have if they can also cure us of religions and capitalism.

      More importantly you going to therapy and improving yourself the way you described it, that in itself is sincerely the best exemple we can show an alien, ever.

          Well yes please, fix us.

          Although i doubt we have anything worthy of hand rubbing for them. But hey, at least we’re making jobs!

      Turns out Star Trek was just a retelling of actual intergalactic life

      Aliens: Who the hell told them all this stuff … I don’t look like that? … My ass isn’t that fat … Is it?

        “These beings have documented a perfect understanding of warp core, matter transmission, and matter replication technologies, yet they refuse to actually use any them and are stuck on a single planet fighting wars over limited resources.”
