6 [text]: Though Hardly A Philospher, Czeslaw Meyer Entertains A New Theory

Mar 21, 2011 21:34

[The passage is handwritten in small, neat, spindly cursive.]Once upon a time, there was a creature. Not exactly a monster, but nothing like a bird or a fish and definitely not like a human being. Maybe more like an amoeba, hardly something anyone would consider to be alive in anything but the most basic sense. This creature watched other things ( Read more... )

Definitely puts a different spin on things.

Context is everything. We assume that the Core's intention is to hurt us because we don't want to be here and it's dangerous, or that it's random, but is that really the answer that makes the most sense?

If we're toys, I'd expect a lot more cruelty from the Core, instead of it giving us abilities. Sure, there's the monsters, but we know those are from the accident.

And the companies are man-made.

That'd make the Darkness the lions, I suppose. But why give us presents?

That hardly strikes me as logical.

[voice] tiny_schemer March 22 2011, 05:46:46 UTC

[chuckling] It wouldn't, would it?

[voice] mentis_reae March 22 2011, 05:49:23 UTC

What is that to mean, precisely?

[all bubbly, childish enthusiasm] --What do you think is going on here, Mr. Edgeworth?

An interesting notion, certainly. Since we do know it is a device, maybe it's run by an Artificial Intelligence?

[Voice] tiny_schemer March 22 2011, 07:05:29 UTC

That's kind of what I'm getting at. Just that it might have reasons for doing whatever it is it's doing that aren't real easy to understand.

[Voice] gaveherwings March 22 2011, 07:26:12 UTC

Naturally, if it was something easily understood, we would have solved this whole puzzle by now.

[Voice] tiny_schemer March 23 2011, 03:55:56 UTC

Knowing why might not necessarily make a difference. Honestly, do you really think the companies would care what the Core wanted - that newcomers would care?

Even if there were a way to negotiate it, I get the feeling people would screw it up.

[ Consciousness, huh... ]

Who knows? Maybe it's trying to understand people by bringing them here.

voice; tiny_schemer March 23 2011, 04:49:49 UTC

That's what I think might be happening. But it doesn't change how much control the Core has, or the fact that we can't leave.

topslug March 23 2011, 15:32:15 UTC

I suppose not.

I don't really understand what's up with the abilities it gives people, either...

tiny_schemer March 23 2011, 19:08:49 UTC

More gifts, maybe? The abilities mostly seem to be improvements rather than things that make people suffer.
