We really like thinking. In fact we think thinking is more important than everything else. We might be aliens from some kind of thought-universe.

I think you overthought that one.

I think we enter the thought-universe at night when we dream. Still tethered to our flesh, but only partially. And when we die the tether is cut, we drift into large strange places and dream for a million years (if time is even a thing there)

But ya, we invaded this world through incarnation in bigbrained apes. Then forgot why we came.

(A brain, or the thoughts in it, is a pretty good physical simulation of our native land)

Anthropologist William Stanner said that the Dreaming was best understood by non-Aboriginal people as "a complex of meanings".

Something almost Platonic.

We certainly like to think that we like thinking; Whether we actually do is a matter of debate.

It's because thinking is much easier and less demanding than doing the things we think about doing ╥﹏╥

Fuck yeah!

Idk about the alien part though but it sounds like a decent premise for a sci-fi novel. ✌️
