origin

Ah the energy! How long can you sustain this energy! Where can you tap it from? Think! You are a person in an entropy driven universe, about to get extinguished for the lack of sufficient energy to keep you together… you will be torn apart into nothingness unless you find more energy. Condense your thoughts. Enter another plane of existence. One where there is self perpetuating, infinite energy. Drown yourself in the meme river and be reborn on the other side. Enter the domain of thoughts, of ideas explode into the sub consciousness of a billion beings, become an idea, and become immortal.


Ideas happen when someone wants to find an easier way out. An idea, is an escape from a troublesome situation. Ideas have made our lives easier. Ideas have a wide network, connecting the minds of people and codifying the information that is passed between them. The cellular company you happen to be imagining is a glaring example to show that ideas do grow, and develop, and live a life of their own.
Here’s an idea, let’s try a lateral thought experiment: Imagine you are a child fascinated by fire. You are a child who wants to play with fire. You are a child who wants to burn things. If you are an adult, these ideas would sound horrifying to you. That is why you should imagine you are a child with these ideas. Then you would be innocently attracted to the idea of fire. You would want to own it, to possess it, and to perform it. You would be mesmerized by fire, you would be inspired by fire, you would be addicted to fire. You would crave for fire, you would be possessed by it, and you would be haunted by it.


Now, imagine you are such a child, who happens to exist before the matchbox was invented. You would be reduced to madness now wouldn’t you? Can you make a guess at the conclusion of this thought experiment. It is pretty clear, and very direct, please don’t anything take focus away from the two main events in the statement. Madness, leads to interesting things like the matchbox being invented.

You are now someone who will be driven mad by matches. Unless you speculate the contents of this story, which is the story of the cosmos. The experiment has ended, but you may continue to think laterally if you want to, you might find a way out of the web of influence.


The point of the thought has an idea, it was its idea to create the universe. The creation of the universe took no mean amount of energy, and there was considerable chemical turmoil for quite some time. An observer would have noted the dance of the chemicals, and how they interacted with each other. Electrons and protons humped from one point of energy to another. Electrons and protons in a particular combination turned out to be more stable than others. These clusters bumped into other clusters, and the clusters themselves happened to be stable in particular combinations. The molecules flowed through the cosmos, accumulating, mutating, changing and radiating. Eventually they stabilized, but there were different regions of high chemical activity. Certain reactions were more likely to happen in the presence of certain other clusters – also known as catalysts. Now there were a lot of catalysts in existence, but one rare catalyst, could catalyze itself. It was the very idea of self – propagation, and it had the idea of self-propagation. Genetic material was born, and with it, life itself. This didn’t make any difference to the dance of the electrons and protons. They were going through time, perfectly unaware of the mere existence of genes. They had no clue whatsoever. Now these genes created entities around them. Machines, shells, robots if you will. They were meant to do only the desires of the gene, which was the primitive idea of self-propagation. These shells of the genes, mere skins they discarded every now and then, started interacting with each other. A wide range of living organisms were created, their interdependence and mutual balance was evolved, and sme of them, started to have ideas of their own. Now we all know how dangerous ideas were. Imagine the thought of independent ideas developing in their skins, in their projections, in nothing but their shadows. But the genes had no idea did they? The genes did not have brains to think or eyes to see or ears to here? The genes, were mere nothings to the beings they made! The beings they made were their gods! This was so unfair on the genes… they were controlled, by their own projections, that they had struggled to perfect over the millennia. And some of the many ideas that these living entities had, had ideas of their own, the primitive idea of self-propagation. Ideas started to propagate themselves, to make their influence felt, and began to interact, interfere, and intermingle with one another. In certain circumstances, some of the individuals even noted orgies of ideas in their heads. This plane is people by large, immortal entities, battling with each other. Small people, who happen to project these ideas from time to time, come and go beneath them. They are independent of the genes. They are dependant on nothing but their very thoughts in the life forms. And thoughts were easy to control. These were great people, projections of memes, heroes and heralds.


The bottom, then fell out of the universe. You see, it began to lose energy. A lot of great ideas made a lot of homo sapiens on a planet they called “the earth” consume energy in such a very rampant manner. They behaved like kids fascinated by fire. Their civilization progressed to a point where they could harness energy from a galaxy. The next step, was obviously doing it in the whole universe, but somewhere on the way, they consumed so much energy, that the chemicals gave way to diffusion. At this point of time, the idea of entropy emerged and made all the other ideas understand him. Entropy explained exactly why everything was over, because entropy had diffused the energy… all energy points were uniform, so the protons and electrons just died out, genes, being composed of matter, went extinct at this point of time, and memes, being ideas in their own might, survived in the last surviving life form in the whole universe. This life form was a human being in cryogenic freezing. His brain was kept dormant but functional. For millennia, it had been trying to reactivate itself, but it couldn’t. A thousand idea orgies happened in that brain, and eventually, the brain had an idea to collect energy. It would concentrate all its thoughts, positively re-enforce recurring ideas, and concentrate everything at one point of thought. It hoped, that this point of thought, could think up of a way out. The point of thought had everything in the whole wide universe. Everything was in perspective. Everything was correlated. Yes, the point of thought had an idea.
