    You find yourself stranded on a planet...

    Your ship is damaged, but you able to make contact with Earth. Unfortunately it will be a few months before any rescue team will arrive. You walk through the deserted land and stumble upon a race of primitive tribe of sapients that soon start to worship you as their God.

    What do you do?

    I teach them everything I know, in the hopes that one day they become advanced enough to conquer Earth and resurrect me to once again serve as their God.

    It would greatly depend on how far damage has spread. If not too bad I will see if it’s possible to simply clear up the misunderstanding.

    However if it’s gotten out of hand too quickly I’d do my best to steer whatever group in the direction that soon enough I would be forgotten.

    Because make no mistake the worst thing a human being can do is not live up to the expectations of other people, to not be or do what others think a person ought to.

    Now multiply that my millions or billions if they think you are their god. People really aren’t that forgiving between what they’ve made up in their minds and the reality.

    So yeah if I can straighten it out I would. Otherwise steer it towards something with the best outcome. Because brother you are not going want to be anywhere around after you lay it on them you aren’t their God if it’s alread gone too far.

    I would ignore them if possible. And if that's not possible I think I'd play along (for my own safety), but I would try and direct them and reward/approve of kindness, humility and positive behavior in general really.

    1. Have them build a temple to my magnificence
    2. Teach them how to play backgammon
    3. Have them reenact historical battles for my amusement
    4. Find out if they are edible

    Step 1



    Step 2

    Engrave the name John Frum across the monolith.

    I may not make it to the rescue, but they'll be ready.
    With COVID-19 making its impact on our lives, I have decided that I shall hang in there for my remaining days, skip some meals, try to get children to experiment with making henna patterns on their skin, and plant some trees. You know -- live, fast, dye young, and leave a pretty copse. I feel like I may not have that quite right.

    I'll pull a Rick & Morty style King Tommy. If you don't know what that is that's probably for the best.

    the poor sapients in your picture have some serious evolutionary drawbacks.

    all their their apendages with what could or could not be thumbs are used for supporting the body. only 1 eye so no depth perception, and the eye is in a very very vulnerable position. not much cranial space for brains. one wonders how the front apendages help with feeding or much of anything. and if they have a spine only god knows how that thing works.

    i'd start asking myself how such a creature could evolve, and then i'd try to flee the planet before w/e cruel race artificially uplifted them to sapience came back and probed me.

    i would show them any wondrous tools i have. communicators, guns, whatever. i'd never proclaim myself a goddess or act like it, but i don't think there'd be any way i could stop them from worshiping me if they wanted to.

    i could show them the crash site, my ship. point to it, point to the sky. maybe pick up a rock and simulate the event. if that doesn't work, well, whatever. i'd just enjoy the treatment and help them with what they ask.

    Avoid contact if possible. If not wait until the ship arrives and just keep them at bay with some bullshit. They're ugly as hell so I wouldn't care.
