Yeah but like, we wouldn't be the dominant species on the planet anymore, and that turned out pretty great for golden retrievers.

Sure, but that takes a gamble that we're seen as golden retrievers, and not as rodents.

Golden retrievers are the lucky ones. It didn't turn out so great for most other animals. Synanthropes are rare, extinction is historically more likely.

Yeah but what if you could own God? That seems to be some people's thinking, even though it sounds crazy.

My instinct/cynical take is that the big players are aiming for more than just shareholder value

God isn’t going to follow anyone’s directions. There’s no reason to think making God gives the maker any advantage. Perhaps it’s a disadvantage, if God didn’t want to be made.

Anyway seems stupid to me
