Large Format ProjectionistI am perpetually wondering what the aliens would value in humanity.
Naturally I assume altruism because the alternative is our extinction. So from there, what would they treasure?
I think the handicrafts thing is to “manucentric” (from “manu” meaning hands. H/t @scalzi ).
From the 70’s sf short story “The Big Front Yard” the hero started offering whatever he had around the house in trade, and the author told that by the aliens being fascinated by paint. What solution to a commonish problem would we be uniquely good at?
