Before the internet I use to joke that if humans had slightly better memory and slightly more intellect we would sit on the sofa and stare at the wall all day.

Before the internet I use to joke that if humans had slightly better memory and slightly more intellect we would sit on the sofa and stare at the wall all day. There use to be a guy on youtube who decided to document his dreams as they were getting surprisingly weird. He would fly out of his body towards the sun where many kinds of creatures lived. They had invited him, had incredibly long life spans and vastly superior intellect. When he brought up their intelligence they laughed and said there were many species with much greater intellect than theirs, above them many layers with more and more intelligent species. Each would feel dumb by comparison with the layer above. "We are undeveloped enough to show an interest in humans." Those above look at you like you look at ants. They then took him to an artifact or learning device left behind by truly sophisticated life forms. It looked like a book to him because humans think of books as containers of knowledge. He was allowed to look at the book from far far away and told not to get closer. His mind raged with thoughts and visions. What happens if I get closer? Then the book absorbs you. You will acquire so much information you wont be able to recall what little you knew before today. You would no longer exist. Only a few of the sun dwellers got close enough to touch it but it took hundreds of years to let the information sink in.
