    if you wake up in a compound, catered to your every need by weird alien captors, “why am I here?” is a pretty obvious question.

        To be fair, the information that aliens created us for some particular purpose would be of merely academic interest. It’s empirically fascinating, but normatively insignificant.

        For that, I would need to learn about the aliens’ philosophical progress (if any).
