>>104529347I like this one, it can explain a lot of myth stuff:
- Originally humans were just a type of tall ape
- Intelligent brain parasites are crashed on earth with no way to get off
- They can attach themselves to any species and hijack their body as a hyper-intelligent agent
- Most species on the planet however lack the physique resources to either sustain the brain parasites and/or create the advanced technology needed to get off the planet
- Eventually ancient homonids are determined to be the best fit, however much breeding work is needed to make the homonids truly fit for purpose
- The last 600,000 years have been one long breeding program to make the homonids strong, verbally capable and physically dextrous enough for the job
- Originally many other species were host to the brain parasites, and were able to take advantage of superior physiques to perform tasks that homonids couldn't such as flight, swimming or just being really large and strong
- Wars between factions of brain parasites that favoured different host species ended with the homonid-hosting brains raining triumphant
- This is the origin of stories involved talking animals and mythical beasts such as dragons, some daemons etc.
- The brain parasites have undergone devolution over their time on earth matching the evolution of their hominid hosts
- Most are smaller and less intelligent than the originals and could not survive outside of a human host any more
- The fundamental conflict between human primitive impulse and hedonism vs the desire to create technology and build larger machines for the sake of it is the struggle of the homonid host organism vs the brain parasite written large
- God and angels are just the vague recollection of the brain parasite host world and the imperative to return
