    Don’t fixate on the alien part. That part is not supposed to be realistic, because it doesn’t really represent aliens - it represents us people.

    It’s the same kind of alien trope used in Star Trek to represent different aspects of humans. It’s not what aliens would probably really be like (trully alien).

    It’s a tool for illustrating human behaviour and it works decently well.
