WTH??? That’s just weird! One heck of a smoke ring...
Isn't it ever!
I always vacillate between being nervous about other world intelligences watching over our activities in a threatening way - to benevolent 'watchers' guarding this old planet to step in, if necc., should we reach the precipice of destroying ourselves.
I favor the last scenario for three reasons:
1: Obviously, with the millions of other planets in the Super Universe, earth cannot be the only one capable of supporting life,
2: If they're monitoring us - it seems for hundreds of y ears - they have, reasonable to assume, achieved a far superior level of intelligence, and
3: In that level, they have also conquered and evolved beyond the baser proclivities of we earthlings - who seem doomed to just repeat the cycles of ignorance, treadmill like.
So I despair a bit over us 'down here' ever growing up - and take a bit of comfort in thinking there is a benevolent, more intelligent entity, through emissaries, watching over us - call it/him/her what you will
(That's my story and I'm sticking to it ;o)...)
Nothing apocalyptic.
