yeah I always think that like an ant is an order of magnitude 'different' to humans, so much so that they kinda live in a 2d world just droning and sensing themselves about and they can't even consider us and the world that we live in and experience.

We live on the same planet and same conditions, and have that much variance between us with regards to experience, intelligence, and of course physiological aspects etc.

'Life' out in the universe could easily be an order of magnitude different to us humans, who's to say we can even comprehend the 'life' even if we may be staring right at it.
