Xenophobia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenophobia

The way I see it, xenophobia is a program that makes people fear what is different or unknown. It is one of the fundamental programs which shape most human interactions.
People think, that their way of thinking and living is good because it is theirs. Other ways are wrong and evil because they are not theirs. People reject or attack anyone and anything that is different. They assume and expect, that everyone thinks in the same way as they do.

This program probably results from a threat to the belief system that something different or unknown creates. Something different or unknown could undermine some beliefs, so it's better to avoid or attack it to prevent that from happening.
Unfortunately, most people are not driven by common sense or by the benefit of everyone involved, but by perpetuating their belief systems.
Xenophobia is very destructive. Especially to those individuals and groups which are discriminated against. But also to society as a whole. It causes a lot of violence and slows down the evolution of this civilization, by resisting new ways of thinking.

I've never had this program. In fact, I've always been drawn to things that are strange and weird. I've always been very different from everyone I met. I had to quickly learn never to assume that other people process things the same way as I do. I always need to remember, that people think in a completely different way. But people almost always assume that I think in the same way as they do and they expect me to behave accordingly. It causes a lot of problems.

If aliens finally show up it will be very interesting.
