People often look at the symbols older
cultures created, or the works of art that can only be seen from the
sky and they assume that long ago, extra-terrestrials came to earth
to give us a scientific jump start. Of course, it is easy to look at
symbols from another culture and make inferences about their meanings
because we have no associations of our own to muddy up the process.
This is why many of of the same people who point out the
extra-terrestrial influences on the past completely overlook the
signs that aliens still guide our scientific development. For
instance, the Chinese are aware that without alien intervention, we
never would have developed plastics. International relations being
what they are, however, they cannot risk their position by making
such a “ridiculous” claim. Instead, they create symbols much as
the people of old did, imprinting upon containers from their takeout
restaurants the following image. Most mistake it for a brand or
something that simply means plastic. Only the few removed from their
own personal experiences with Chinese takeout see it for what it
truly is: a starman in a nice suit, surrounding himself with plastic.
Theorists still debate, however, whether he is wearing a tie or has a
fu manchu mustache.
