Indeed, a superintelligent teacher might teach different lessons to different kinds of students. But a human teacher teaches human students because they’re the same species. Are we the same species as God? Would a human teacher bother to teach an ant?

And how could we tell the difference between a hyperintelligent teacher revealing itself in different ways to different audiences, and the lack of any such teacher, the void being filled by the audiences’ mere projections of what they want to see onto the world? There would be theistic and atheistic readings of this scenario.

I look forward to reading your upcoming article.
