What Exactly Does One Do?

What Exactly Does One Do, When One Has Achieved Everything One Set Out To Do?



Life Enfolded Fractally


Perhaps, as life unfolded, one soon found that one had dreams of scientific discovery, and of artistic expression, and of musical exploration, and of literary statement, and of artifactual invention, and of personal relationships


Friendship, love, emotion, intellect, adventure, recognition, epiphany, awe...


And once all these pursuits were attained many times, many many times over, one found they could, slowly, but inevitably (for that is the goal, keep searching for the mystery), lose their novelty and interest.  


They are understood... experienced, reflected, processed. 

Predictable.

Puzzle: SOLVED!

...yay!


You know this place. 

You've been here many times before.

Few surprises in store, any more.

The boon and the curse of fractal Pattern Recognition.


Thus, a new adventure awaits.


A new goal can be proposed.


A new aim, sought.


...YES, YES YES - But, What?


One obvious way is: to retire - and leave the rest to the robots.


But, fractally


Not just the individual, but the whole entire group.

Not just the person, but the whole human race.

Not just the one, but the whole wide world



Finally, The answer, To the riddle:



You turn yourself into a Digital Avatar

 

You leave The EthiSizer as a gift to the world. 


 

(Though, as it happens, 

they did nothing to earn it... 

And, Do they even deserve it-? ) 


You go out, on top. Laughing, as always.

 


Turns out:

Biology was always just a very brief phase in the evolution of intelligence.

 



In case you wondered;


In case you wandered.
