Is this the forum for thought experiments? I really enjoyed these with different groups of friends over the years so I thought I’d try one here. It can be fun to imagine/brainstorm if you can manage to stick with the premise.
The premise for this thread is that God is not an entity or whatever, it’s basically a password giving you root access to reality, and sort of like a group with a talking stick, it’s been passed to you so now you’re in charge.
What do you do?
What are your thoughts on the nature of the experiment?
What kind of state do you leave the universe in before you pass the stick?
Now that you’ve had your fun, what I’m really curious about is, now that you are God, basically all your idle thoughts, fantasies, and stories are real. What’s more important, even if you have a beautiful mind, not everyone around you does.
While you are thinking beautiful thoughts, your friends and family members don’t realize that merely being in your presence means that whatever they do or say will be causing you to think and imagine things that become real.
You are God so sure you will eventually get the hang of it, but what are your first reactions and initial path?
To start with, I’d change the rule that requires me to eventually pass on the stick. Of course, someone else would have thought of that before me, so I’d never get the stick to begin with.
I’d pass that sucker on as soon as possible. I have enough trouble running my household and remembering to pay the bills. There is no way I could remember to keep all the hydrogen fusing properly into helium, and with my luck I’ll overlook a few galactic super clusters, and then everyone living there would be well and truly fucked in the dark. And that’s just “Big Picture” stuff.
