What If? D.I.E.

What if in our human arrogance we have failed 

to recognize that the long series of pathogens that 

have plagued humanity from time immemorial

represent a sequence of extraterrestrials posing as

viruses with the express purpose of an experiment

in extinguishing an unworthy form of life littering

the universe? Only to discover that humanity is

a diabolical life form, a predator extraordinaire

whose presence evolved through a formula meant

to ensure its survival. What that succession of alien

visits has accomplished is merely to sieve out those

strains of humanity incapable of withstanding 

adversity to mutate stronger, more enduring and

dangerous to other forms of existence than ever.

Until the time when a mass psychosis enfeebled

human society convincing itself that established

biological verities identifying male and female

procreation and evolutionary success lacked the

oversight of diversity, inclusion and equality -- a

faulted oversight that must be remedied. Astonished

aliens, witness to the revolutionary self-destruction

finally understood that it is through its very own

very human devices the process of mass hysteria

would succeed where they have failed in the long 

and tardy departure of humanity from existence.
