In an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, host Joe Rogan delved into what he described as the “darkest conspiracy theory about aliens.” While emphasizing he doesn’t necessarily believe it, Rogan presented the theory as representing the “top of the food chain” of extraterrestrial speculation.
According to this disturbing hypothesis, Earth functions essentially as a farm, with human beings serving as vessels containing souls. The theory suggests that aliens created humanity for the purpose of harvesting these souls.
He said: ” Earth is essentially a farm and human beings are the vessels that contain souls. And they want us because this is how they create Souls, and so they’re farming us.”
Rogan explained that we allegedly started as primates before undergoing genetic intervention by these extraterrestrial beings who engineered our evolution for their own purposes.
The theory takes an even darker turn when considering humanity’s perpetual state of conflict. Rogan proposed that all human warfare and competition might be deliberately orchestrated to push our species toward greater technological advancement. This constant struggle for resources and dominance would ultimately drive us to create artificial intelligence, a super-intelligent being that represents the endgame of this cosmic manipulation.
Rogan stated: “The whole reason why human beings are involved in this constant conflict is, all of it is to increase our competition with each other, increase our ability to control resources, which will increase our technology, which will ultimately lead to us creating this being. We’re going to create this artificially intelligent super god.”
What makes this theory particularly unsettling is its implication that humanity’s greatest achievement might also be its final trap. The creation of artificial general intelligence, something many scientists believe is inevitable, could be the ultimate goal of these alien farmers. This is the final product they’ve been cultivating through millennia of human development.
Rogan acknowledged the theory sounds “crazy” but presented it as an interesting thought experiment about humanity’s place in the universe.
