scientists figure out how things work, engineers build things that work because they do. earth scientists are geologist who study rocks. why would they want to build space ships, or have anything to do with doing so? why would anyone have to know anything about anything for anything to exist? why would anyone think they were doing anyone else a favor to convince them to hate logic. why would everything begin and end with some invisible guy because someone (or a whole bunch of someones) wrote a book about it?
Yeah, I’ve often wondered all of that, but realized that there’s absolutely nothing I can do about it. Aliens watching me is the least of my concerns. It’s the guy that’s casing my neighborhood and waiting for the opportunity to break into my house - thats what I’m concerned about the most.
WE are watching us, each other, whoever else may or may not be. and why not? as long as we don't use what we see to embarrass or harm each other.
