Very much agreed--it tells us a lot about people, anyway.

I love coming up with consects. My favorite is the group of aliens who believe god is an author and they are the characters, mostly because they are COMPLETELY RIGHT if they go meta, but also because I found it extremely funny to come up with schisms and theologies based on trying to find out what genre the story is and who the protagonist is. (Also why I laughed my ass off all the way through Stranger Than Fiction.) But the one I'm working on now is less meta and intended to look more like an actual mythos. I'm still having fun with it, though--the mnemonic jingle they teach kids about What To Do If You Find Yourself Dead makes me snicker every time.
