Cogs can think.

On the National Geographic Channel I’m watching this documentary about how aliens have supposedly sparked the early civilisations of man. Because, how on earth were the Egyptians capable of building those pyramids? How did the large pyramids in South America get built? I mean, they were savage, stupid beings, right?

No, you arrogant morons. The ancient Egyptians were exactly the same as us. They had the same brain size, the same mental capabilities as we have. They were not “dumber” than we are today. A Homo Sapiens Sapiens is a Homo Sapiens Sapiens, whether it lives now, or 4000 years ago. This means that if we can grasp something, so can they. I find it highly arrogant to think that our ancestors were too dumb to build the pyramids.

Imagine 5000 years from now. Archeologists discover the Petronas Towers. I can just see the nutjobs of that era going, hey, how did they build that with their limited technology? Aliens must have helped them!

Pathetic.
