Probably true, but hardly related to our enquiry. The answer I was looking for was that the tree is alive.

Same thing that happens to everyone. They existed, and then they didn't, and they probably wouldn't do it all over again.

You are in a small room with no lasers. This is an office room. There is a computer here.

What would you have me do?

Sure, the answers don't add up, but keep pressing forward and they'll just resolve themselves, is that it?
November 12, 2025 at 3:00 PM
Fair enough. At least you don't buy into all that moral nonsense.

Why do we deserve to be saved?

A human being enters the room. It looks at you with angry eyes, makes loud noises, and waves a handful of papers at you, which are like emails but made of tree.

The tomb is silent;
the spirit of the Ancient Poet has departed.

Where do you think you're going? You don't want to go down there. Trust me.

You couldn't be less helpful if you tried, which on reflection I believe you are.

Questioning engages with reality, interrogating all it sees. Questioning leads to a constant assault on the intellectual status quo, where doubt is far more likely to lead to resigned acceptance.

Behold, child. You are risen from the dust, and you walk in my garden. Hear now my voice, and know that I am your maker, and I am called ELOHIM. Seek me in my temple if you are worthy.

So it is... the Dinosaurians!

Alright, let's try one more, just to confirm.

Suppose the top of that tower hides not the real world, but some kind of simulated heaven. Your every wish is fulfilled - but none of it is real.

Are you satisfied?

Well, at least you're on message with that one.

This female voice that speaks from the abnormalities, it speaks with a different tone to the other wretches in this place.

It is neither necessary nor logical to denounce all virtues merely because one is confronted with the inevitability of one's own death.

You're quite mad, I'm sure of it. Of course, the alternative accounts are all so ridiculous you'd be forgiven by any reasonable observer for choosing the best of a bad bunch.

I'm not sure you've really thought through the implications here. Either certain things are forbidden on principle, or principles are flexible according to outcomes.

You can't have your cake and eat it.

As you step through the gate, the ancient god raises his hands to the sky. From his mouth bursts forth the Eternal River, drenching the land in water.

The waves carry you away.
