    That’s actually kind of a good point, if a horror is far enough literally beyond our comprehension. Is it really a horror?

      I’ve seen this image floating around for a while, which breaks down the reasoning - or lack thereof in certain media - pretty well.

        The point regarding seeing the world from anothers view reminds me of ‘Story of your life’ by Ted Chiang, a brilliant short story that also has a movie based on it (Arrival) which is also my favourite movie despite the, imo, botched ending.

        Spoiler alert:

        As the lead character learns the aliens language and can now interpret time and generally the world they do, you get to a different kind of consciousness.

        As I type this out I relaize its actually kind of off topic after all lol.
