The Mass Effect Hypothesis

[ladyofshalott06]

The title is a bit of a misnomer; this really has very little to do with Mass Effect specifically but is more a commentary on sci-fi in general.

Well in RL we already ARE more than other species. We know what it's like, where's the challenge in that? But making us average and aliens "more" in various ways puts us in our place and also shows how resourceful we are. :)

In real life we are only "more" in intelligence, which isn't quite fair since we're the only sentient species we know of! LOL.

But you do make a good point--making us average does put us in our place, so to speak. Not so superior compared to all those aliens! ;)

I know some cats that would argue that point.... ;)
