It always disappoints me to read about how "violent" we are and how we're so full of war. If you were to compare all the individuals involved with war to the individuals who are not, I believe this could be settled. I do not associate the entire human race with those which promote war.
Yes, violence and such is part of our nature. But it's also a part of this planet. The earth and nature is just as capable of being as violent as we are. Hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, you name it. Every single thing associated with this planet can be associated in nature and its all tied to the change. I think that if humans evolved to the point of lacking violence completely, so too would the earth. No more wars means no more catastrophes.
However, I have always felt and argued that the reason violence exists in nature is to preserve population. Of course that would have been better solved by not adapting lust. Somebody screwed up there (no pun intended).
Humans as slaves?
Right.
Our evolution is hindered? Ok. Someone is not very observant and probably doesn't pay any attention to the Japanese.
Lets be realistic. If a race of beings genetically engineered our existence, for what purpose would they wish us any harm? Displeased with the way the world is run? Who isn't? Talk to the governments. We just live here.
And I like that he theorizes that religions except maybe Buddhism were created by the aliens. Why not Buddhism? Because it focuses so much on spiritual evolution? You don't say. That really would put a damper on us continuing to be "blood thirsty." I hope the aliens also created the Greek and Norse paganisms. If they really wanted us to remain violent then it would have been wise to keep those around. But...I guess a god which speaks only of love will really do the job.
If I owned a library I would file this under fiction and written by a science fiction fanatic who spent his 7 years of research being silly.
