* someone is keeping you and your galaxy as a pet
* you don’t have anything to pay for it with
* your consciousness is the equivalent of an amoeba and it doesn’t occur to anyone to bother
* you are the first, someone has to be
* theres a whole other way to exist, creatures who live in quantum electrodynamics bound reality are boring
* somebody has been and is negotiating, just not you
* everybody eventually lives a billion years, the thousands of years human civilization has existed barely registers, they’ll get around to it after breakfast
* your species isn’t cool enough and nobody wants to be your friend
* your species keeps turning the salesman into a god
* nobody has noticed you yet, it’s a big universe and there’s plenty of other fun things to do
- actionfromafar 4y agoThis is very fun and yet to the point. :)
- analog31 4y agoAll good points. A short story by Franz Kafka, "Investigations of a Dog" kind of touches on the concept that the higher beings are invisible to us, and that we fabricate them in our own minds to explain our experience. In it, a dog notices that his fellow dogs engage in strange rituals, after which their food appears. And he wonders where the food is actually coming from. He experiences fleeting glimpses of soaring dog-like beings. If I'm recalling the story correctly, his friends don't want to hear about it, and ostracize him. I have wondered if some of Kafka's writings belong in the science fiction genre.
