Ok, I decided to copy/paste then expand my own thoughts on this, from the
chat room...
There is a
"never ending rabbit hole" quality to the whole story which I just can't buy. Very circular, as well.
Seems to start with some "valiant fight" against being totally controlled by some other entities. Well...
If we are that controlled, why/how are we fighting?
Spare me the notion that our "fighting" is a "supported/allowed illusion" because it helps "build or evolve" the species.
Just say it's proof we're controlled, why don't you. (small circles save time
)
If we are fighting, and we are that controlled. why aren't we destroyed?
If the fight is genuine, then something is amiss. Why not just "re-cycle" the species? Kill us all, take the DNA and start over. We'd never know. Even if we did, or discovered it... circular again.
If an outside force is "preventing that" then we aren't that controlled.
Sure we are. Just not by who we think we are. Next circular argument, please.
Now, sooner or later someone will suggest that even that is part of the control.
So you come full circle, and start over again. Yawn.....
Then we come to the notion that some "higher intelligence" exists that finds all this to be worth their time.
Now, you have a non-3D species (supposedly "above all this")
which finds itself "in need" of something on this plane.
And try as I might, I just can't resist ending with a dumb movie quote...
