isn't it weird that we try to prejudge another civilization that doesn't exist by our expectations that change every day.

It's not only not wierd, it's the only way open to us. Extrapolation from where we are and what we know, and what we can easily imagine, are our only tools and quite valuable. It puts us in a better position than are slugs and earthworms and maybe even most other primates.
