Multiple incarnations into the same life.

...conscious in a Westworld sort of way

WW3
War is an archaic institution that is a product of primitive times and we as a race should’ve evolved from this practice a long time ago. The year JUST started! Can we at least have some time to our Christmas trees away before attempting to drag us into WW3?!

Ozymandias and the Frailty of Genius.
“Why do you take pleasure in being praised by men whom you yourself cannot praise?” Discussing Adrian Veidt’s fatal flaw, loneliness and the humanity of gods, and why the biblical god felt compelled to create humans after his experience with angels.
