Depends. Are the aliens hot?
Are you into Ferengi? ;-)
I’m not, but for a few bars of gold-pressed latinum I could be.
Based on our human history of snob thinking they’re better and then enslave those they think are barbarian, yes, but not before they enslave most of us and then spare some.
No, lol I think the lemming saying we would try to nuke them is spot on but jokes aside most people wouldn’t give a rats arse about these new aliens and only a very small minority would try to create art that appeals to their tastes- just to see if they can cater to their standards.
And sell it to them. Capitalism gonna capitalize
Hehehehe selling art is very hard already, you want to do so to a race of snobbish aliens? I mean 100% with you that’s what they will attempt, but I have my doubts on profitability
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.
no we would try to nuke 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.
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?
Trumpists would label them illegal intellectual elitists and hate them.
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!
Just send them all the alien movies where humans win, call them documentaries and watch them run.
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.
Sounds like they’re pretending to be sophisticated, too.
I’d send them a picture of my arsehole.
Cunts.
This response.
Doubtful but I bet a lot of people would start saying paintings don’t really exist.
