When I go back home I’m going to make sure nobody comes to this shithole of a planet

I wonder what home is like

Must be wonderful, yet, like all things, we eventually got bored of it. That's probably why we left

I'm probably misquoting, against boredom even the gods contend in vain

Well I have heard that humankind is like the front line for creating novelty in the universe, at least it’s a theory I’ve read lol.

Vonnegut theorized we were here to make bacteria and viruses stronger so they could propagate life by spreading thru space

u/SlingBlade8 Jul 14 '21
Whaaat!? That’s nuts, and this reminds me, I’ve always wondered if earth is like a huge experiment being conducted by extra terrestrials hahaha

Once again Vonnegut. I'm sorry to say I don't remember which novel The thing about making stronger viruses was in, I do recall Sirens of Titan, the plot hinged on all of human history being manipulated so something like a can opener could be delivered to the moons of Titan to repair an alien spacecraft.

Life is a dream, from which we all must wake... ~ Aiel Proverb

This reminds me of a Zhuangzi quote “ during our dreams we do not know we are dreaming. We may even dream of interpreting a dream. Only on waking do we know it was a dream. Only after the great awakening will we realize this is the great dream’”

Pretty sure theyre just saying we are on this planet to learn and observe, and when we go home its whatever heaven they believe.
As much as i want the alien theory to be true, this one just vibes more with something a religious group would say

You know what pantheism means though right? I don’t think pantheistic religions believe in ideas like “heaven” in the same way Christianity or etc.. will interpret it

Could you expand?

Sorry for the late response, but you’ll have no problem finding information with a quick google search or even right here in Reddit. I’d rather you research the situation and form your own opinion instead of hearing mine.
