God.

Took him thousands of years to realize “wait, what if I just told them to love each other?”

Well, a thousand years is just a day so, he probably just slept on it

I wonder how God would look at us today and recent history. Suddenly we start emitting a lot of smoke and transforming the world, "that can't be right, can it"? Factories spread around the globe, even more of the landscape is transformed, even more smoke is coming out. Massive scale wars break out, but end barely before you manage to comprehend them. Then another world war happens, and it also quickly ends. But this time there are many of those "blips". First over Japan, then many other places. They also land on the moon. "How did they do that?? That was meant to be inaccessible!!"

Then, just as quickly as they began, the blips stopped. Did something go wrong? No, they just stopped willingly. Then everyone has devices they use to talk to anybody else on the planet, then they have those devices in pockets, then, "oh god, it's all happening too quickly! What am I gonna do?? "

And before you know it, they start talking to you on equal terms. No as a single deity entity, but as a collective, supported by immensely complicated technology.

"Hello!", they say

I wonder how God would look at us today and recent history.

You might as well look up at the moon and ask the same question. You'll get about the same answer.. silence.

Kinda makes the case for “not omnipotent” then

I hate the internet over-romanticization of the "superfocus" and people believing they have a superpower

Yeah my hyperfocus is just "focus on all the bad things and get nothing done. Enjoy the panic attack"

That ain't no super power to me. Maybe once a month I get the actual beneficial form of it and it's generally wasted on something like a video game or other menial task.
