The Worst Part of Endwalker

[Vahlnir]

You say that but you have to admit that the part where she lifts her head and goes crazy in front of the screen was great.
I was praying so hard to see an alien civilization manipulating her but unfortunately it didn't happen like that
I'm sorry but her existence is proof of the stupidity of the ancient civilization that was supposed to be super intelligent

Hermes was like "Alright, I'm gonna ask you an extremely loaded question and then send you all out into the cold and vast universe to see if you can find the answer. Have fun! Surely nothing will go wrong!" It was less the civilization itself and more the doing of one man. Even Emet questioned his logic (or a complete lack thereof) at one point toward the tail end of the Elpis questline. Considering the universe, including our own is just a never-ending cycle of life and death (big emphasis on the death part) ...well...I'm not sure what Hermes was expecting to find. One would think that the citizens of Amaurot were more enlightened than that having mastered creation and destruction of any and all life on a whim.
