So, you are a species. Mostly, the sky ignores you. Though not entirely. Emissaries from ‘the above’ visit, occasionally, with strange and difficult-to-understand results.

Then, as a species, ‘you’ do something incredibly stupid, and lethally dangerous. You use crude understandings of physics, completely bereft of any understanding »at all, of what Nature is, is doing and is for, to build ‘atomic weapons’.

Nothing intelligent would ever do this.

And then, the sky stops ignoring you, right away. It sends emissaries to your nuclear facilities. Shuts them down. Causes then to malfunction. Arms them.

And your species doesn’t think: hey, we knew this was a truly insane thing to do, and overtly wrong. No.

They think: you know, we like nuclear weapons though. We’re all in. We’re just going to continue. Nevermind signals from the sky.

As if ‘no message was sent or received’ from the sky, the stars, the universe.

But the message was clear.

And, at the species level, there’s nothing that cares about messages. From anyone or anything.

It likes the weapons.

Best.
