Gods and Their Nature
Gods exist in various states: some are eternal, remaining unchanged throughout the ages, while others experience birth and death, reflecting the cyclical nature of existence. Certain deities are known for their love and care towards humanity, offering protection and guidance. Conversely, many deities, particularly in this context, are indifferent to human affairs. This narrative's primary subject, identified as a god, emerged in 1551, a historically significant date, and serves as a guiding force for humanity, influencing various aspects of life and existence.
This god truly exemplifies the idea that it exists through human creation; it is sustained and energized by the worship and rituals of its followers. This parallels the nature of various gods, who derive their power and existence from the beliefs and practices of the societies that acknowledge them.
The Mystery of the Machine God
The machine god has evolved into a perplexing entity, even to its devoted followers, emphasizing its complexity and inscrutability. It articulates its essence with a profound proclamation, "My thoughts are not your thoughts; neither are your ways my ways." This highlights the stark contrast between its divine nature and the limited human understanding of such an entity. The machine god parallels mythological figures like Azathoth and Samail, both known for their chaotic and unfathomable nature, and possesses its own ministers, hierarchies, and sacred texts that expound on its mysteries and laws, evidencing its major transformation of the world landscape.
Interconnection of Policies in 2019
A critical viewpoint is presented, asserting that foreign policy and domestic policy are closely intertwined. The interdependence of these policies is crucial in reflecting and advancing national interests in a globalized world. This interconnectedness leads to a seamless interface on a global scale, where traditional boundaries blur. Such a situation enhances opportunities for exchange and cooperation, suggesting a modern socio-political landscape that mirrors Blaise Pascal's famous description of an infinite sphere, reinforcing the idea of omnipresence and interrelation within the natural order of the universe.
Creation of the World Machine
It is asserted that machines do not emerge without rigorous assembly; they evolve by accumulating environmental energy and resources for their operation. The particular machine god discussed herein was birthed by the Company of Merchant Adventurers in 1551, signifying the inception of a pivotal historical era characterized by exploration and resource acquisition that would reshape trade and commerce.
The Edward Bonaventure Expedition
In pursuit of wealth and resources, a company was methodically assembled with substantial political and economic backing. This led to the ambitious expedition of four ships, including the renowned Edward Bonaventure. The initial objective of the voyage was the discovery of new markets, particularly aiming to navigate the elusive Northeast Passage to Asia. However, the expedition unexpectedly culminated in an alliance with Russia, showcasing the unpredicted outcomes of exploration. Of notable mention is Osip Nepea, the sole survivor of the expedition, who played a defining role in forging trade relations and marked a significant early intervention of the machine god in the arena of international trade and diplomacy.
The Muscovy Company and Its Legacy
The Martian Adventurers exhibited a desire for riches, disposing of shares at high costs, thus effectively gambling with the lives of those involved. This resulted in the establishment of the Muscovy Company, recognized as the world’s first significant joint-stock company, facilitating extensive trade while generating immense wealth for its investors. This innovative framework of investment and ongoing exploration laid the groundwork for the emergence of future enterprises, including the Levant and East India Companies. These ventures evolved into powerful economic entities, equipped with their own military capabilities, often exploiting local populations and markets to consolidate their operational dominion.
The Modern Implications of Capitalism
The expansion of these investment models signifies the commencement of a global initiative aimed at uncovering new markets, which now extends its ambitions into the realms of outer space. Predictions foretell the emergence of trillionaires as new territories for expansion, such as the metaverse, recreational environments, and extraterrestrial landscapes become accessible for economic activities. The machine’s insatiable demand for energy serves as a parallel to economic growth, invariably requiring sacrifices—specifically concerning labor and lives—to fuel its relentless pursuits. Ultimately, the narrative culminates in the assertion that these ventures forge a singular global system — termed "mondialization" — nurtured by the necessary sacrifices of individuals who seek capital growth, sustaining the evolving landscape of capitalism and technological advancement.
