I don't go entirely with the conventionally accepted story of the history of humanity. We are starting to see clearly now the conflict of interest between profit, and truth, how profit warps pretty much every process of humans. There is more to our history, much more, than science in its current form has itself believe, I think.
The annunaki story or something like it makes far more sense, I think.
It wouldn't matter if it was not something instrumental in the existential situation.
Understanding why we were created, what was our purpose, why we were left alone, without the leadership of our creators, is all crucially important, it seems to me.
Ever noticed how much more profitable it is to conjure up an acceptable theory, rather than just admitting we don't know yet?
The need to make profit ASAP, is the sole reason we have Occam's razor, I think.
