Maybe we are useful after all. Part 2

 Given the disposability of humans and all other living creatures, the Earth's world fits quite nicely into a hypothesis of a massive simulation for solving odd social problems. As if, you know, someone has thrown a large pile of play dough, which can be moulded into any weird pile, like a cat or a human. And that play dough must try to preserve its shape for as long as possible. I guess we can call it a law of physics, i.e. reducing the energy by keeping itself in a pile.

The interesting thing is: everything tends to a remarkable uniformity of shape. Look at fruits or leaves or animals. I guess the building of shapes starts somewhere on the atomic level and then proceeds with modifications to sustain the weather. The very perplexing thing is that apart of the size, life on other planets may have quite a lot of similarity with the shapes here on Earth. Makes it kinda boring, really. There must be some 4,5,6-dimensional beings to make existence bearable.

Life of an Ordinary Writer

 I write a lot. I mean, people pay me to write different stuff. Usually on different professional and technical topics. My main observation from this occupation: there are always those people claimed to be 'Big Thinkers' who write something extremely vague about planes, concepts perpendicularly related to concepts, meta-designs, and other 'stuff' that they think must be relevant but actually is so vague and boundless that anything can be included or excluded. They write and the public says 'oh!' and 'ah!' and generally admire.

Then more practical people come to me and ask me to explain what has actually happened because in reality no one has understood planes and concepts, stuff, and conceptual meta-design. And once I explain and relate to practical things, turns out that half of the time the big thinkers have just described what everyone was already doing. And there's no argument they were right because just about anything can fit in or fit out depending on who's interpreting.

And yeah, some 'Big Thinkers' write very attractively and it is a pleasure to read. But quite often the Big Thoughts are also very shallow and under the 'Big' title, there's a utopian promise resting on more unrealistic conditions than there's stars in the sky. And, let's be honest, the dumbrunner said it best:
