I think if someone wants to overthrow the world, one should aim high?

How about God?

Logically, wouldn't a spiritual absolute be the essence of sentience, from which life rises, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which it fell.

Isn't that whole "all-knowing absolute" thing just to validate rule from above, divine right of kings, rather than consent of the governed?

Or is that too much of a cultural focus?

What about time, since that's pretty basic. We are mobile organisms, so this sentient interface works as a series of perceptions, past to future, in order to navigate, but isn't it really just change turning future to past? Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns. Cause becomes effect.

It's like trying to make sense of the sun and stars going east to west, before realizing the earth turns west to east.

Though I suppose that's too abstract to really pop any cultural bubbles, given the degree to which most people seem to be in a rut of one form or another.

What about money? Doesn't that wrap most people's minds up in little consumable packages?

We seem to be schooled in the notion of it as a commodity to mine from the economy, like we mine gold from the ground, or bitcoin from computers, but isn't it really a social contract, as a medium of exchange, like community tokens?

Blood is a medium, fat is a store. It's not like you want to store blood.

It seems to store the asset side of the ledger, there has to be a debt to back it, so we have this world that generates enormous debts, most of which can never be repaid, given what much of it is spent on, to store the illusion of near infinite wealth.

That doesn't sound too bright.

Hmm... Maybe I don't want to take over the world, just keep watching it from up here in the cheap seats.
