While I experience the world in a subjective manner, I have ZERO evidence of that. I think an alien would find it cute that we believe in this weird thing called consciousness.

Consciousness is a word for something we don’t understand but all seem to experience. I don’t think aliens would find it weird that we name it and try to understand it. They might find it weird that we think it exists after our death or beyond our physical existence. Or they might find it weird that so many of us don’t believe it exists beyond our physical existence. Or they might not think much about it at all because they just want to eat us.
