What if we originated on Venus? Then came to Earth as our ancestors messed up that planet. And we came here so we wouldn't make the same mistake again? What if we are aliens that have the capability to know enough about science to be dangerous to the planets in the universe? Maybe reincarnation is simply finding a new planet to start over on, so that one day we can become decent enough to keep a planet going? /s
I feel like people didn't catch the /s at the end of your shitpost
It would make for a pretty cool setting for a story though. Set in the near future, first crewed missions to Venus find petroglyphs recording the last days of their ancestors
It's a surprisingly common scifi trope.
