I saw an advert once were they played mamash on your point — It was an advert for a beer.

Two guys were sitting in a boat, fishing, and suddenly a bottle of beer appeared above one of the guys heads. The guy grabbed the bottle, and suddenly was pulled out of the boat… The scene changes, and you see two huge aliens sitting in a room, holding fishing nets above a small hole, and a little guy – the guy from the boat, in miniature – pops out.

That is the same yesod – we think that our environment is normal, is the best is the most natural. A fish feels that his pond is the real world, there is no bigger picture. But just like the pond is a mere puddle, this advert was making as though Earth was also just a little puddle in some alien world.

And who knows? Maybe they are right!
