The Doctrine of Nihilism: How Uniformitarianism Blinds Modern Science
RD critiques the “scientific exclusivity” that mirrors religious dogma, arguing that the belief in humanity as a unique, accidental “primate” mutation is a form of secular nihilism. He points out that ancient descriptions of “feathered serpents” were early attempts to describe non-human humanoids—beings that modern science rejects as “astronomical impossibilities.” RD warns that humanity’s obsession with “circuitous narcissism” (such as the constant redefining of social constructs) distracts from the Taurid meteor stream, a pressing existential threat. He concludes that unless we abandon the “invisible ball and chain” of gradualism and look upward to answer the beacon, the species will forfeit its achievements to the next inevitable cosmic impact.

A Pharaoh (identifiable by the complex, striped Nemes headdress, elaborate collar, and shendyt kilt) is shown standing on the left. His red skin tone contrast with his white kilt. He holds his right hand out in a gesture, possibly offering or receiving. To the right stands the deity Horus (or Ra-Horakhty, indicated by the hawk head and the distinct red sun disc headdress with a uraeus cobra). (Photo by Rob Tol via Unsplash)

Reptiliandude: Back then, the only references people had to creatures like myself were birds because of the feathers, or serpents because of the scales.
They had no idea what “dinosaurs” were, or that they were feathered.
They had no concept of life on other planets or any conception of their own evolutionary origins much less the origins of the species of this one.
Even today, in science of all places, there is an active pessimism nearly identical to what we see in that religious exclusivity that promotes the mistaken idea that humanoid life couldn’t possibly exist on other worlds, and that somehow “man” is special or chosen.
Albeit, in these disciplines, such exclusivity is performed not by a deity, but by the immutable ministrations of almighty accident (heretics be damned).
They think that life on other worlds has to be ethereal and unworldly (like angels or jelly fish) or monstrous and deformed (like demons or krakens).
In other words, nothing as unique or as intelligent as surface-dwelling man.
Their notion is that humanoids must only exist in the movies because humans have to portray those roles and fit in the suits. There couldn’t possibly be humanoid creatures elsewhere in the universe, as the chances of such accidental mutations lining up to produce something that isn’t descended from primates are absolutely astronomical.
So, we see in this, a belief system.
But, instead of an inscrutable god reaching into some soggy clay and forming the first man, it’s the primeval soup of an inscrutably random accident and the purposelessness of cyanobacteria whose waste product breathes into his single-celled nostrils the breath of life.
Evolutionary origins are no less true if you remove the doctrine of nihilism and the invisible ball and chain of religious exclusivity that has transmogrified and hidden itself in your sciences, blinding your species to how incredibly dynamic this earth is, and how developed human culture once was.
That same stubborn adherence to uniformitarianism and gradualism is why your species cannot see the devastating results of the impacts in front of their own faces.
This overwhelming conservative view leading to outright denial and hostility towards the dangers you as a species face from beyond this world will result in the destruction and collapse of everything you’ve struggled to achieve.
You have issues far more pressing than the circuitous narcissism that compels your species to redefine “gender” into the realm of the ad nauseam, or to proclaim the death of all gods when you only understand about 4% of the known universe.
Look up.
Answer the beacon.
And set your most powerful weapons not upon each other, but in the direction of the Taurids.
Tempus Fugit.
Tempus Edax Rerum.
