You ask the aliens why you are there, meaning the cell they imprisoned you, and they tell you how their species created humans and what humans purpose is. You immediately go catatonic by the revelation.

Well, the information that aliens created us for some particular purpose would certainly be of academic interest to me. It’s empirically interesting, but normatively insignificant.
For that, I would need to learn about the aliens’ philosophical progress (if any).
