If human inner monologue is really an alien transmission, I guess that makes us monkey marionettes. The question then becomes, is it a singular being, a hive-mind, or billions of distinct aliens that control humans? Are all humans controlled, or do those without an inner monologue have a relative degree of free will? Does / do the alien(s) experience the sensations of living as a human or are they entirely detached voyeurs? 

Regardless, if I'm not what I am then there's no sense getting hung up over all that I'm not.

yes the thing is that we have no clue what or who these aliens are, they control every human on earth, each of us are used as pieces in a very large game.

 each piece helps the whole of society evolve, and they are leading us to somewhere
since humans began on earth we have slowly evolved into something not of this world

 which bring me to the alien theory, we have only gotten to where we are in society because of (them)

>since humans began on earth we have slowly evolved into something not of this world
Why would you assume that? Is it because we're drawn to exploring the stars? Because our evolutionary impulse to seek out new places is one predicated on basic survival. Once our ancestors consumed all the resources in one place they either moved on or died.

>which bring me to the alien theory, we have only gotten to where we are in society because of (them)
That idea cheapens all the innovation and sacrifice that our ancestors experienced to get us where we are now.

I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong, I'm just not sold on your logic yet.

oh, im sorry im not like, a 'conspiracy' type of person, its more of like, a suggestion, like WHAT IF aliens did all this for us? that would be wild

I was treating it like a thought experiment too, but you can never be sure about any other poster on /x/ 

Either way, I don't think the mere existence of evolution is a compelling argument for this theory. I do, however, think the uniqueness of human language itself might be. 

>William S. Burroughs wrote, 'language is a virus from outer space.' 

If aliens taught early humans the concept of language that could be true. Maybe to some aliens language is seen as divine given that it allows for the articulation of reality (Judaism is a great example of this idea in a human religion), making their teaching of language to inferior races a kind of missionary work. Maybe they've developed a very basic / hieroglyphic heavy language precisely for this purpose.

i like to also imagine that perhaps self awareness was given to us by (them) being self aware just feels 'above' us in someway, due to how mind-fuckey the idea of self awareness can be
