Doubtful but I bet a lot of people would start saying paintings don’t really exist.
Sounds like they’re pretending to be sophisticated, too.
I’d send them a picture of my arsehole.
Cunts.
This response.
No, we would instead make interspecies pornography of humans boning the aliens and further diminish our status in their eyes. Dommy mommies scoffing at the entire planet. It would be a diplomatic catastrophe.
Just send them all the alien movies where humans win, call them documentaries and watch them run.
EVERYONE that claims to appreciate only fine art is already pretending to be sophisticated.
No we’d start pretending we’re even less sophisticated.
Hey! I’m flying my space ship ova’ere!
Trump will tell them that he is the most sophisticated president ever, even when he loses and ends up in the psych ward.
Whose definition of fine art? This could be an amazing rebranding opportunity
No, we’d nuke those fuckers.
Trumpists would label them illegal intellectual elitists and hate them.
The aliens would judge us for torturing and murdering the animals for selfish reasons.
So yeah most people would pretend to be vegan so that the aliens may talk to them.
barbarians
Their assessment would depend heavily on chance: Which continent do they look at?
For your question, would we be pretending, it is the same.
For the aliens, barbarian is considered predominantly rasicst people. So most the world is considered barbarians.
What would an advanced alien race even consider fine art?
Six dimensional termite mounds?
Or they could see in a smaller range of frequencies, so what looks like a plain white room to us is a masterpiece of modern art to them?
Depends. Are the aliens hot?
Are you into Ferengi? ;-)
I’m not, but for a few bars of gold-pressed latinum I could be.
