Möbius Strip: God is in the TV

The problem, you see, with being a near omnipotent, post singularity, god like being is… BOREDOM . Plain, simple, boredom.

Oh yes, at first it was great. See the beginning of the universe, see it’s end. Send a few stars supernova with an offhand thought for kicks. Go everywhere, know everything, DO everything. Then what?

Create a universe or two of your own. Dream up wild new worlds and forms of life. Lay down a few rules, kick start the whole thing, then sit back and see what happens. Occasionally, stir the pot to mix things up.

Sure it started out with the purest of intents. It was “research” to see how their own species got started & evolved. But face it, it was FUN to play God and this was like cinema on steroids. All the life and death situations were real.

Should they feel bad about playing with other’s lives for their own entertainment? Sure, but it beat the maddening boredom. Beside isn’t that the nature of existing? Things live, things die. The end.

This situation, however, was different.

I thought that “bored” was the definition of all gods? I like it…although it immediately makes me think of “Q” from Star Trek Next Generation.

I plan on reading the rest of this series after lunch. With that painfully boring promise out of the way, I really liked this ficlet. It grabbed my attention and made me want to know more… It made me want to know everything.

Hmm…very cool start. It definitely sounds interesting and original, so I’ll read on (original, perhaps, because no other writer wanted to get smote [wink]).
