That's the thing though. They don't NEED to convince themselves that Kazzack isn't a major threat. He is and it's glaringly obvious. Self preservation > arrogance. We care about our survival so much that ignoring external threats is literally the most dangerous thing we can do.



I was actually just using dinosaurs as an example. But for a more accurate analogy: If we were as arrogant as you said we were, we'd end up prey to any number of the massive animals that walked the planet with us in earlier times. Hell, if we were as arrogant as you imply we were, none of us would be able to admit we are. I'm not saying we're not arrogant, I'm saying that we care a lot more about our own survival than our pride.



Well, actually, one of Kazzack's weaknesses is that he's practically powerless outside of his domain (hence why he just doesn't convert the whole galaxy to the Hive). He sends drones out to invade so he can convert any matter in that particular area into matter that's saturated with Kazzack's consciousness.



Also, speaking of the quantum consciousness theory, I'm trying to find the video I learned about it from. It's not quite as unplausible as you might think. It's just a theory (and one that's waaaaaay out there, at that), sure, but some pretty well-versed theoretical physics actually give merit to the idea.
