I'm not religious in the normal sense but I strongly agree with this we must embrace our divine role and responsibility i think the grabby aliens hypothesis may be true and were just early? and I've always felt mans role is the cosmic Gardner Terrence McKenna spoke about that quite a bit toward the end of his life. My favorite talk on this is "the emanation of wisdom" and "we are frustrated monkeys". . Isaac Arthur also is incredible as well with his tethered ring and space habitat episodes as well. Gaiome engineering by Kevin Scott Polk was a fun read as well.
