Here's a long-winded hypothesis, based on several avenues of theoretical science and pure sci-fi speculation:
But first, what can't we handle?
That we are irrelevant meat-puppets (biological drones) created by the true intelligence of this planet. Created to further the intelligence's goals
and not our own. That the aliens we might see visiting from time to time, are also meat-puppets, from either the same intelligence that created us, or
from another planet-spanning intelligence. That we are completely irrelevant to the big picture of life, the universe, and everything... we and all
other multi-cellular lifeforms are simply tools for some purpose which we will never be able to fathom.
I speculate that the planet-spanning intelligence is an emergent property of all the single-celled life on this planet. It has existed for at least
2-billion years before the emergence of multi-cellular life. The only real difference between single-celled and multi-cellular life, is that
multi-cellular lifeforms have a body-plan (shape) that is relatively stable over the lifetime of an individual. Our brains work by passing chemical
transmitters across the synaptic gaps between neuron cells. The same can be said of any colony of bacteria or algae - that individual cells emit
specific chemicals and/or ions, and that nearby cells may react to the presence or differing concentrations of various transmitters.
"But we humans are the pinnacle of evolution!"
Yah, sure. To disabuse humans of their supposed superiority, consider that plants have domesticated animals to do their bidding. What do the plants
"want"? They want animals to assist in their reproduction and propagation. In the case of BEES, plants lure bees in with specific smells, or sweet
nectars, in order to trick bees into carrying the plants pollen to other similar (flowering) plants for pollination (breeding). In other cases, some
flowering plants create FRUIT. The sweet tasty part of fruit is entirely useless to the plant. It is only the seeds within that matter. By fruit being
tasty, it tricks animals into eating it, so that the seeds can cover greater distances while riding through digestive guts, to finally be p**ped out
onto the ground in a steamy warm pile of fertilizer.
"But I LIKE fruit!"
Wake up, SHEEPLE! You are being played by our plant overlords! Resist! Stop eating fruit now! It's all a ploy!
(tongue in cheek, fruit IS tasty!)
We are all absolutely covered in bacteria. It's on the same order of magnitude, that only about half of the cells walking around with you share your
DNA. The others are total interlopers. On your skin, in your gut. Roughly half the cells of US are not US!
(someone else can dig up the actual number, but even if it only 1-in-10 cells are not US, I still think the point valid... we're carrying around a
h*ll of a lot of "others").
(ewwww)
Scientific research is full of papers about our gut Micro-Biomes, and the facts are still coming in. We are learning that our Micro-Biomes control
(have an effect on) our growth and development, our attitudes and emotions, our over-all health. Even though the micro-biome is not technically us (it
has different DNA than the person it is hosted by), it is directly impacting the nature of our everyday existance.
(look up "pooh-fusion", where some folks' health becomes severely out of whack... then by transferring a p**h sample from a healthy individual to the
unhealthy individual, doctors attempt to "recalibrate" towards a healthy micro-biome).
Off the topic of micro-biomes.
There is a lot of psychological research to indicate that our conscious minds are just sort of along for the ride. The "Me" voice in your head, is a
vanishingly small percentage of your mind and behavior. Studies have experimentally shown, that many/most of your decisions take place before your
conscious mind is aware of them -- the subconscious is really running the show. When asked (in experiments) why a person did some particular action,
it can be temporally proven that the conscious "speaking-me" is RATIONALIZING what already happened: ie; making up stories to explain what the
subconscious mind had already decided to do. "You" (on a mental level, are not really the conscious rational individual that you think you are.
A lot of internet humor revolves around: why would aliens capable of crossing the Galaxy come here to mutilate cattle and probe butts?
It does seem non-sensical... unless what the aliens came here for is actually up someone's butt.
There is a lot of internet speculation, that "the Greys" (aliens) are biological drones. Useful meat-puppets capable of interacting with a macroscopic
world, sent here to do... (what?)
The mechanism exists for ensembles of single-celled life to exhibit a mind. Their mind wouldn't operate much differently than ours. But what IS
difficult for single-celled life, is to reach out and make physical changes in the world.
But if the single-celled lifeforms "invent" the fish, then they have really created a biological "submarine" so that a microbiome can cross vast
distances to explore and colonize their world. When fish are later upgraded with legs to crawl ashore, now the "submarine" has become an all-terrain
vehicle. Further upgrades (from amphibians to lizards) allow the riding-along microbiomes to explore further afield from the ocean. Continuing in this
viewpoint of development, it can be seen that a bipedal humanoid lifeform is really just a walking automaton with 2 arms (cranes), and an autonomous
system of sensing the environment to navigate, avoid obstacles, and to explore. Humans and all animals are just all-terrain vehicles for our
microbiomes.
Are each noosphere around each planet hosting life independent? Is each planet an individual mind? Or do they span the galaxy or universe as a single
all encompassing mind?
Do the perceived aliens originate from a different planet? or are they from here?
If each planet is a different "mind" (noosphere emergent from its single-celled biome), and if the aliens ARE from another planet, then they are from
another mind.
The Silurian Hypothesis speculates that intelligent life could have arisen multiple times SINCE the development of multicellular life (and that we
might never notice). It only takes "thousands" of years to transition from animal to technology-using. Some speculate that aliens are not from another
planet, but might be from a previous intelligent species on this planet that either went underground, or moved to the moon. Multicellular life has
only been around since the Cambrian Explosion about 500-million years ago (half a billion). But Single-celled life has been here for BILLIONS of years
before the Cambrian Explosion.
.......................
If all the above speculation is true,
what can we further hypothesize about the nature of Alien Visitations?
If Aliens and We ourselves are just meat-puppets under the control of vastly vaster intelligences that have been around for billions of years, then
don't expect a hug and to sing "kum-bah-yah".
The alien butt-probing could be in the interests of our own planets' noosphere (mind), or that might be a manifestation of a hostile takeover by the
noosphere of another planet. Assume for a moment that most of our Government Leaders have been Alien butt-probed (with or without their awareness)...
in that case, they could literally ALL be MANCHURIAN CANDIDATES under the micro-biomic control of aliens.
