Playing Gods
It was year 2703. We had harnessed the power of our entire solar system. The civilization has enough power to turn bleaks of dust to a green, breathing ecosystem within 10 days. After years of countless religious dividend, now that we were all together in this, we had started exploring the farthest corners of the universe.
A whole different breeze is blowing today.
It's Friday evening. My group was waiting, sitting near a ship post, having our coffee. Last week chunks of us went to the isolated corners of the universe to sow the seeds of life. They had neuromorphic compute enabled in them for a faster evolution. Automated evolving seeds within a sustainable ecosystem that was created by another section of us who earlier visited the part. They were responsible to make the system capable of sustaining the life. The stars, asteroids, comets, planets, all had to be placed very precisely and they were damn good at it. We were responsible for life. Our whole focus had been on collecting tiny specs of life and organize them into one. Consciousness of the whole universe was necessary as we realized, to help it grow to its full potential. Which was what, nobody knew, yet.
As time went by, we realized we were playing gods, we had the power of life and death in our hands, literally, and that without harnessing much of the energy available across the dimensions of the whole cosmos.
With great power, comes great responsibility
Y. 2024
Throughout the human history, behind every exploration, has been a spirit of conquest. We have conquered lands, sea, air. Farthest of the planet we have been, set our footsteps and left our mark wherever we went. Now we intend to leave this planet and to the stars we go. It's this spirit that has helped us survive apocalypses and disaster during every age. Now we speed towards the cosmic ocean, lying there, with the most extreme and unthinkable scenarios to follow, that will forever change the face of this egg.
May this be eulogised, that going for a mere conquest in this vast ocean will not help.
Win and help win is a mantra, that will not only power us, but make everyone more conscious of their efforts towards evolution.
May the most adaptive, majestic, virtuous, dutiful, compassionate, wise, intelligent, disciplined and just minds reorganize the microscopic entities of the universe that they are, into a living conscious being that they do not realize yet, but live together for.
May they win.
