I will say however that your examples on the paragraph I said was off topic are ridiculous. Aliens look human in sci fi movies? It must be entirely due to human superiority complex, not because Hollywood is pandering to people afraid of too-different, or they don't feel like blowing their SFX budget on octopus people, etc. etc.
Star Trek had emotions trumping logic? Oh it must be human centrism, not the fact that half the episodes were parables. |
How does this infirm in any way what I said?

1. Fearing something and believing it is inferior are not the same thing
2. Hollywood thinking it's so doesn't make it so
3. Even if it's true for a lot of people (which it is) doesn't mean it's univerally true which is necessary for your argument to hold water.

1. They're related in this issue.
2. Hollywood and pop culture are actually a perfect reflection of dominant social mores (not, culture has no connection to reality).
3. It's a universal human tendency. There are always exceptions, but these exceptions don't infirm the rule.
