Actually there is an alien stranded with a broken spaceship on a moon orbiting Jupiter. Earth and mankind is just a message to said alien....the parts are on the way is the general gist of what the message is.

I read a story like that once. There was some bit of message delivery technology that that was on a mission but had trouble and got stranded on a primitive planet. But it had the ability to take the dumb bird critters that were there and genetically engineer them into a flock that (over time) built the industry to build a spaceship so the message could get through.

I suppose that the likes of P. T. Barnum and H. L. Mencken have answered that query in a more concise manner than I am capable of.

Or have at least received credit for it.

I read one long ago where the alien taught tech to build a way to get to a meeting point. Probably a fairly common plot?

Realty is not essentially different from regular TV.

Because "hell" and "fuck" flow better than damned.

Must have been left to its own devices fairly recently then, as we are still here.

As in "I have no clue why I accidentally hit the caps lock instead of shift key"?

It is much easier to focus on others misfortunes than it is on ones own. The same reason psychiatrists have such a high suicide rate.

It was just a misunderstanding long ago when someone was asked to "execute the theory"
