The literary merits of Alien Intelligence

[Forikroder]

You are massively underestimating the importance of fiction, I think. Any psychologist would tell you stories can impact our psyche. Any anthropologist would tell you how central shared stories are to a culture. Any philosopher or preacher would say how good stories or parables are at communicating messages.

im sure in the past when those storys were basically there version of a history book

in the modern world though we have actual history books and actual events we can show our children and explain why some things should or shouldnt be done
