I suspect that if Martians actually existed, their version of the Hero's Journey may be different from ours. (A lot of our common assumptions come from certain facts, such as a shared biology among human beings and many cultural parallels.)will_in_chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468337654400802576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-40812611773692538592012-05-29T11:02:15.512-05:002012-05-29T11:02:15.512-05:00Interesting stuff!Interesting stuff!mathematicscorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439579069513071094noreply@blogger.com
