So what I’m getting from this: 1. Even gods get lonely 2. If you’re lonely, you should make yourself some imaginary friends who may or may not F things up for centuries afterward :D
Honestly though, your remark about the mantis shrimp reminds me of a conversation I had with my mom when i was about 8. Keep in mind that I was a weird kid who could read at an adult level and had been reading my mom‘s extensive Science Fiction book collection since I was about five years old. ( ended up reading my first Robert Anton Wilson at 10, which explains a thing or two, lol) anyway, I think we were talking about the five senses, and how they all corresponded to a sense organ, but that some people believe in “extra” senses, etc. At that point i wondered aloud “Well what if there’s all kinds of other stuff going on around us that we can’t sense because we don’t have the right organs? It’s still happening, right?” and she gave me a weird look and said “hey, maybe”. LOL. Not the last time I was a weird kid (I’m still a weird kid) :D I mean…it makes as much sense as anything.
Hahaha, I love it. Ah what a cool Mom you had to have all that sci-fi around. My Ma gave me Flower in the Attic when I was about 10 and..well, ffs, that scarred me, far too young to be reading about incest :D
But I'm with you, there's gotta be so much going on around us we're no clue about!
