I think they should make it a rule that you can't post 'opinion as fact' subject headings.
This place is just line after line of bald assertions.
Good thing we have people taking care of that.

It's a variation of an old theory, that we were created for the purpose of being exploited in some manner. Aside from always having loads of logical flaws clinging to them, those theories are immediately suspect (to me) because, in whatever form these "superbeings" take, their most enduring quality is their affinity for deception. If they really were superior then they would have no need for deception at all. It would simply be an undeniable fact of life.

It's hard to imagine non-human logic... But I suppose that's your whole point
But I do feel (gut instinct here) that because we are children of this universe, that heritage connects us with everything else from this universe far more powerfully than we could ever be disconnected. Unless they somehow don't experience the same deterministic laws which seem to govern our experience of the universe, I would like to think that our concept of logic is more or less equivalent to theirs. Or am I anthropomorphizing again? Lol
