What would aliens think if they leaned we evolved fear as a survival mechanism, but we intentionally seek out situations that trigger our fear response, for fun?

Horror movies, extreme sports, thrill-seeking, it’s all weird.

Edit
Changed the title and added an extra line to make it clear I’m talking about the fear response, and not specifically about extreme sports

    Extreme sports was more supposed to be an example. Horror movies are the same.

    People go out of their way to feel scared, what would aliens think of that?
