Today more than ever, curiosity overwhelms me, because in the face of this generalized madness in all parts of the planet where humans live, the terror posed by the COVID-19 virus I believe would surpass even the visit of beings from another world. Faced with this situation, I wonder: what would an extraterrestrial think if he were to arrive today at the square of your town or neighborhood in this global context, what would this space tourist ask us?
It is obvious that this guy is not coming to dominate or invade us, I say this even by common sense because a Martian against 10 billion humans (not counting lions, tigers, crocodiles, bears, snakes and my neighbor's chihuahua dog, which although small is quite fierce) is an unequal combat. Imagine yourself alone in the Tiananmen Square or in La Puerta del Sol, without acquaintances, what do you do: announce that you are coming to dominate us or for peaceful purposes, if you choose the first option, I hope that at least they take you for crazy, if you choose the second option you will probably get a good Samaritan to help you with your doubts and cultural uncertainties.
It's the same case, our interstellar friend arrives here with doubts and in a moment where the "Crown-craziness" dominates the world, he approaches you in the street because you are the first human he sees in 3 hours because almost everyone is hiding at home. You who are nicer than a cold beer in the middle of the Sahara decide to go help him by answering the following three questions:
Why are you humans so weak?
If you are so intelligent, why are you so afraid?
If you believe in life after death, why are you so afraid of dying?
Now, what would you answer?
