I'm fascinated by the idea of looking at ourselves from the perspective of a non-human sentience. The utterly un-experiencable.

If so, then how do we come across according to our own ethical and moral codes when we are judged as impartially as possible by said sentience?

And just in general... If the sentience could not establish meaningful communication with us (a la Polaris), what do we look like to them? Do they find us amusing? Are we cute and cuddly? Unruly? Hard to control? Fun to hang with? Terrifying?

Just... how are we?

unfathomably disgusting.
id imagine akin to watching bacterium Clostridium botulinum produce a dealy toxin and then watch people jab it in their face for the illusion of looking like "fresher" produce..

OP here:

I'm just feeling weird after watch Parasyte. The way that we have other aliens interact with us is too entirely human. I just want to I guess understand forms of sentience that has evolved in different chemistry. How aberrant are we? Or how common? The way that we perceive things.

hard to quant relative perceptive value and keep the fun esoteric-like aesthetics and ease of discussion intact... y'know? To define it dispels the magic around the notion eventually.
Theres a few good authors that touch on the "nature" of beings an how or whether we could even conceive of their existance let alone communicate.
facinating, but impractical without a purpose or application for direction of experimental thoughts..

im inclined to think your pic is more related than most suggested ideas on the topic
a gaseous formation that displays localized field properties allowing for electron balancing and "neural" style pathways.

probably optical light and some sort of emmisive raditation as "communication" (we're assuming the need for it) the notion of the entity is striking to me..

then theres rokos basilisk so theres always that beyond the dyson sphere..

they don't give a shit, it is the only reasonable explanation

they already understand everything about us and probably better than ourselves, if they wanted something from us they'd have taken it by now, if they didn't want us to exist, we wouldn't, they could kill us all in an instant with a swarm of undetectable nanomachines that deliver neurotoxins or something, we'd all drop dead like sacks of potatoes, our civilization would erode, herds of feral cattle would graze in our parks as they migrate across the plains, gradually evolving back into aurochs, only knowing it as an unusually rocky area
