William S. Burroughs once wrote:
Consider the impasse of a one god universe. He is all knowing and all powerful. He can't go anywhere since he is already everywhere. He can't do anything
since the act of doing presupposes opposition. His universe is irrevocably thermodynamic, having no friction by definition. So he has to create
friction. War, fear, sickness, death. Keep his dying show on the
road. Sooner or later.. "look boss we don't have enough energy left
to pry an elderly woman in a fleabag hotel fire." Well, we’ll have to start faking it. Joe looks after him sourly and mixes a bicarbonated soda. "Sure, start faking it and leave the details to Joe." Now look, from a real disaster you get the pick of energy. Sacrifice, heroism, grief,
seperation, fear, and violent death, and remember one violent death yields more energy than a cancer ward. So, from an energy surplus you can underwrite the next one. So, from an energy surplus you can underwrite
the next one. But if the first one is a fake, you can't underwrite a shithouse. Try to explain to god almighty where his one god universe is going. Asshole doesn’t know what buttons to push or what happens when you push them. Abandon ship goddamnit, every man for himself.
