Imagine living in a world of more attractive, smarter, and more polite beings who mog your entire species in every positive trait. Of course they're delusional, they have nothing but that because they're inferior and know it but can't grapple with this truism.

Sci-fi and fantasy was always grouped together at bookstores when I was young (37). I think both genres really specialize in suspension of belief instead of grandiose portraits of humanity. It's not really about the question why collective human experience is interesting, but how the human experience can be commercialized which I find appealing because it's a neo-baroque worldview of hard and soft power.
