Aliens?

If evidence of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe were discovered, would it alter your core beliefs or sense of self?

Probably not. The Venatori don’t believe we are the only creatures. And I’m going to say most of the supernatural world doesn’t either. So if we exist why can’t someone else on another planet? Magic exists, it isn’t inherent to us. It’s everywhere. So why not elsewhere too?

The counter question.

What if instead it demonstrated that we were the only intelligent life in the galaxy?

I’d be surprised by this. Mostly because we exist as supernatural races, we aren’t all human, some of us never born human at all. So by that theory alone it denies it.

But this is my world we are talking about. Your world. It’s be a pretty sad existence if humanity was the only intelligent creature in the whole fucking universe.
