    Beautiful scene.. so much more intelligent than the usual alien 'advanced knowledge reveal.'
    I particularly love how the Tirian initially appears so odd and alien, but in the space of 6 minutes leaves as a familiar old friend, his 'humanity' and beauty shining through.

Any one of us has to look outside of ourselves for life and truth. The small amount within yourself is something you were either taught by reality and other people or you were born with it as a human being. You were not born with the English language, you learned it. You did not learn your capacity for language, it was a given you were born with. If you make yourself, with what reality and truth you do have, in common cause with the rest of reality and truth, you are on your way (incomplete but sufficient for no one of us knows everything). Outside of this is only illusion, insanity, and nonaliveness/death.
