21 " In the larger context, Man is nowhere close to answering the oldest questions, drawing a blank on the underlying motives of the Cosmos. "
― Aneesh Abraham , Super Dense Crush Load: The Story of Man Redux
22 " We all serve a purpose, whether it is to create, distribute, market, consume, sabotage, or comment. "
23 " Modern religions have expanded on the basic tribal concepts, refining the product alongside humanity’s awakening to reach its present institutionalized form, far removed from any intermediate founding principle. "
24 " Today, religion is a hunted animal, making peace with human knowledge and fighting for a space to stand, preferably in front of science and progress. It succeeds to a great extent, as all the science and math in the world cannot guard Man against death and suffering, while religion’s placebo effect lasts to the very end. There is a large void in the Cosmos that can only be filled with hope and imagination. "
25 " To wrestle is an instinct, seen in playful cubs. The delight is amplified in the intellectual domain, particularly when the challenger is the Cosmos. "
26 " No one jumps into the limelight, above the line of obscurity without a certain degree of ruthlessness and defiance, or at least a birth as a “prince” by the doings of their fathers. "
27 " Just as no child is born into the world without a carnal act, no victory can be achieved without an inglorious deed or blemish. "
28 " Genghis Khan could well have killed five hundred million men, but it means nothing more than an interesting statistic to the next generation. The death count is another figure on a printed page, and with a little effort, the page can be turned over. "
29 " The inertia of the masses is not easily overcome, a fact that the oppressive mind capitalizes upon. "
30 " The ills plaguing the human systems are inevitable, for with sentience, come the sentiments. "
31 " The end-result of institutionalized religion is the alienation of God. "
32 " Man is a sucker when it comes to matters of fate, destiny, and meaning. "
33 " The ideal mind mirrors the antithetical movement, chaos, and uncertainty of the Cosmos. "
34 " Everything from supplication to self-enlightenment and salvation is individualistic gratification in the end, borne from the same vine of desires. "
35 " The universe may have a consciousness, but not a shred of conscience. "
36 " Following the principles of meritocracy, the abdicated throne of the Cosmos awaits the deserving to pull the sword from the stone. Effectively, Nature created her adversary, a rogue who threatens the balance on Earth. Maybe the creation of a detrimental race was purposeful, but Nature has been known to experiment continuously and launch failing products from her labs. "
37 " Man has always aspired to reach the God tier, although he still has a long way to go. Just as the earliest bipeds compare to the modern Man, so does the present generation of Man compare to God. "
38 " An artist looks at a piece of paper or holds an instrument in hand and then stops, going “off-hook.” These are the precious moments of the reverie—the “dial-up” preceding a possible “handshake,” following which the connection is put through and the flow begins. "
39 " The phenomenon of iterative evolution or the repeated evolution of a species from the same ancestor at different times may be the plan on a larger scale [for mankind], especially after a global purge. "
40 " Despite their enormous size and domination, the dinosaurs were booted out. Humans with their great brains may meet a similar fate. Perhaps, our successor will be a virus or a microorganism. It is their turn anyway. "
