humans are complex, so why do we rule that out for aliens?

aliens could feel like us. they could touch, hear, see like us. aliens could even look like us. it’s possible we look like them. we could be exactly like them except they birth through their mouths, excrete waste through nostirls, or have extraordinary regeneration abilities.

and they could touch through the air instead physically. they could hear at frequencies only dogs could hear, have quadruple the amount of color receptors, be giants, be miniature. they could be all of that but also have our noses on a gelatin body or glass veins.

we always think of aliens as being grotesque; beings so far beyond what we expect that often times we may think of them as monsters. you don’t always think of them as possibly being just like us, or us like them. you don’t always think if we have a multitude of similarities or very few at all.

aliens, much like humans, can be quite complex.
