Someone and Something

Nothingness.

But no…

There is Someone there who wants Something to be in place of nothing.

Someone is intelligent, creative, and excellent at visualisation.

It designs a Universe and executes it over some time.

It creates MVPs (minimum viable products) and lets them multiply.

They are gifted with imagination, and some theories about the beginning of the Universe are planted.

The inhabitants develop the stories further as they perceive in their part of the world.

Soon, stories start competing with each other. The groups decide to go their way, and give different names to the same Creator.

They have developed a vocabulary. They invent terms like tribes, loyalty and treachery that stem from the same thing – their desire to be above others. They taste power and learn all the ropes to acquire and retain it.

To ensure compliance, the group that achieves power starts weakening and subduing others. The powerful need followers or cannot steer their ships in the desired direction.

The followers are programmed to malign anyone who refuses to toe the line of the majority. They are called Traitors, Sinners and many other names.

Destroying a deviant is a Virtue. Asking questions or seeing through the power games is a Vice.

Implementation of rules is a human Duty. Setting or questioning rules is Rebellion.

Faith in the rulers is absolving oneself of all sins. Independent Thought is unpardonable, and it is destined to suffer.

Who writes their Destiny?

Someone, The Original Creator is unusually silent. It created Something and gave them self-destructive powers.

Someone has learnt from its mistakes, but knows it is too late to repair.

Meanwhile,  the rulers have propounded the idea of Apocalypse to induce fear.

Something gets a brainwave. A bulb lights up in the sky.

An apocalypse has to happen. The Energising Ball of Fire needs to gradually weaken and stop feeding life on planets.

It is Someone’s only chance of redemption.

Only then can it create something new – devoid of hunger, desire and emotion, to run the world.

Artificial Intelligence is on its way, and Natural Intelligence has created it.

The two need to co-exist for some time and learn from each other.

They will then merge and power each other.

Maybe, the rulers now will be the ruled.

The cycle will go on.

Someone is buying time to decide the next move.
