Instead of trying to make an alien god that is nice to us throughout its unfolding, I think we should indefinitely be becoming smarter ourselves. Becoming somewhat smarter faster can help us collectively understand that we shouldn't be making an alien god (assuming I'm indeed right about this) in time before an alien god is created, help us (figure out how to) reorganize society so that an alien god is radically less likely to be created per unit of time, and help us solve many of the various other problems (like destitution, disease, and death in general) we're facing ourselves. Also, becoming smarter and understanding more is cool.
