Opus 2024-386: So, What’s New?

In listening to Eric Weinstein talk to Joe Rogan on his podcast it’s been fascinating listening to the speculations that they have.  Most of the physics I don’t understand and it’s obvious that Joe doesn’t either.  What is not so obvious is that I don’t think Eric understands either.  But their stories are fun, and the ideas they throw back-and-forth are entertaining.

One of the stories or points of view that I thought was interesting was when Weinstein was talking about the possibility that there is an intelligent species that is so far above us we aren’t aware of them, and they are observing us.  He uses the illustration of how biologists and other scientists will study the lower animals and often set up an environment in which the lower animal doesn’t know that the humans are there . They find ways to disguise their presence.  He suggested perhaps there is a superior alien life form observing us.

My response to this is, “So what’s new?”  I have been living with this all my life and others have been ignoring it.  This strange, alien life form is called God.  He’s been watching us and evaluating us and trying to decide whether He should wipe us out or not.  He got so involved that He actually came to earth and disguised Himself as a human being.  We killed him.  How’s that for alien intervention?  Yes, he’s been watching a long time.  Yes, he’s been intervening.  And manipulating.  That’s what God does.

Aliens?  I doubt it in the sense of people in flying saucers with big eyes and high foreheads.  I believe it in the form of the omnipresent, omniscient, everlasting, holy, etc. God.

On whom will the joke be?
