Random thoughts, written long back. If they aren’t comprehensible, I blame lack of sleep.
I just had a weird thought. What if really we all are just carriers, our whole purpose in this life is to try and evolve. Just find the best use of all the resources around us and try to progress. And while we individually try and do that at our level, the gene inside of us is constantly upgrading itself to newer evolved characters, better lifestyle and a whole lot more of aquired power.
The whole theory of evolution suddenly makes sense. The catch was that evolution isn’t for humans to propogate, we all die anyway. It’s for the gene inside us to accomplish so much more than what it could individually have, without our support or help. And we end up doing it for almost no benefit to us.
And now, imagine this gene is an alien creature fighting some war in a far off galaxy, which has come here to improve itself, and the best way to do it is to use humans as carriers. And maybe for it, a few million years is not a big deal.
I’ve been told to read: The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins for ideas related to the thought above.

Seems very familiar to the scientology episode of SouthPark which I saw.
