May 28 Alien's report on "humans"They are weird creatures, of their various activities and rituals, one of them seems particularly strange, they seem to enjoy an activity called "socialising", in which they combine efforts to create a monster called a "group". A "group" is a monster, vaguely resembling a human, it tries to imitate what a human does, smiling, talking, laughing. But it all just seems like an imitation, none of it feels genuine. There's an even bigger kind of monster, called "society", that one is even less human-like, but I won't talk about it. A "group" is created, firstly by a number of people gathering together, they then proceed to decide upon the form of the monster. This is done through a ritual consisting of various verbal exchanges and body language, once they have come to a consensus of the form of the "group", whenever the same, or similar collection of people gather, they will automatically proceed to construct the monster. An interesting phenomena relating to this activity, is when a member or several members, are added to an existing "group"-creating collection of people, they can engage in the same ritual mentioned, and henceforth become part of the activity. They are potentially able to influence the form of the "monster". The degree to which the additional members can influence, or decide, the form of the "group" depends partly on the rigidity of the preexisiting form, and partly on the assertiveness of the newly added members. Giving me reason to believe that the rituals are very arbitrary and meaningless, and furthermore, tiring and time-consuming. Since it can potentially be changed quite easily. Some specific collections go to extremes to preserve their "group"'s form, making them seem hostile at times, but they are a very kind of collection, and I have limited experience, and hence, limited opportunity to study them. There are other mysteries to be solved regarding these creatures called "humans", but this is all for now.
