Isn't this a big pseudo religious and speculative? I mean... the statement that it's likely that there's a superintelligent cosmic host is not supported by any sort of evidence whatsoever?

Like just the fact that the universe is big makes it so there is an all encompassing super being is not logical?

Simply looking at the laws of physics would kill this idea. Just compare the latency of communication within a human brain or an NVIDIA H100 with latency of communication between one star system and the next.

If galaxies could think, it would take billions of years to come up with even a coherent sentence... beyond the known age of the universe.
