Elizondo expands on his "somber" comment, saying humanity may have to rewrite history.

Lue was asked to expand on his somber comments in his AMA with Curt Jaimungal. He described a conversation he had with someone high up in the government, and it's probably the most important thing he's said so far in my opinion.

We had a conversation, he said you know Lue, mankind has been around for a little while, and most of the time mankind has been around we’ve been smack in the middle of the food-chain. We ate a lot of things and a lot of things ate us, and that’s just the bottom line. About 70,000 years ago, something fundamentally changed. Something changed and our species was instantly catapulted to the very top of our planet as far as predatory animals.

Now, all of a sudden, we became the most feared. We were the most lethal and the most successful. In fact most of the large species that existed on this planet went extinct because of us, because we started eating all of them.

There were a couple species that did very, very well with our immediate ascension. We brought a couple species with us, the dog as an example. That species benefitted greatly from mankind’s ascension as the alpha predator and wound up succeeding as well, doing very well off of that. That changed the entire global landscape of the planet almost overnight. Large animals went extinct because of us.

What if it turns out that there’s another species that’s even higher on that ladder than we are? Do we need the social institutions that we have today? Will we need the governmental and religious organizations that we have today if it turns out there is something else or someone else that is technologically more advanced? And perhaps, from an evolutionary perspective, more advanced? Have we been wasting our time all this time? Or are we doing exactly what we’re supposed to be doing?

Does it turn out that mankind is in fact just another animal in the zoo? We thought of ourselves as the zookeeper before, but maybe we’re just another exhibit. What would that mean to us? When I say somber and sobering, I mean there’s going to come a point in this conversation where we are going to have to do a lot of reconciling with ourselves, whatever that means. From whatever philosophical view you have, this is going to impact every single one of us equally yet differently, and I think that’s important. Do we find ourselves in a situation where history will have to be re-written? So that’s what I meant.

Edit: The interview was a livestream, which Curt takes down about an hour after it airs so he can edit the quality of it. He puts the edited version up about 24 hours later. It got taken down as soon as I finished transcribing this.
