The Big Laboratory 6

The Big Laboratory 6

Mar 20, 2024

 Albooutrous was happy to hear what Khaled had to say but changed his demeanor to a more serious one. “I’m sorry I have to do this but if you want to understand the concept of good and evil you must cleanse yourself first,” Khaled asked “ Do what? And cleanse me from what ?” Al-Botrs approached Khaled and quickly with swift hand touched his forehead and Khaled as if he died again woke up in the sea with waves crushing him beneath the water suffocating him until he floated and saw land but on the other end there was a boat, he tried to swim towards the boat but the waves where too strong. He finally decided to go to land and reached it. He realized that he is in a desert. He waited on the shore for a couple of days, until he decided to explore what is inside the desert in hopes of finding an oasis. So Khaled walked into the desert with the blazing sun burning his flesh, the dry hot winds drying his lips he walked and walked until he saw something extremely strange. He saw a dirty mirror right in the middle of the desert, he looked at himself and it was as if he changed his clothes to clean ones. Khaled approaches the mirror and tries to clean it, but every time he cleans it he goes through unimaginable pain. Khaled yelled “ Al-Botrs why are you doing this to me?” He looked into the dirty mirror and instead of seing himself in the reflection he saw his father. His father spoke to him and said “ Your name Khaled… which means the immortal one. Your name also corresponds to al Kheld the mole in Arabic who keeps digging into the ground. Why do you keep digging Khaled ? Why do you keep wanting more” Khaled looked at the mirror and cleaned it again and went through unimaginable pain and he started seeing all the traumas and mistakes of his childhood. Khaled didn’t stop cleaning the mirror, his clothes became all dirty until he finally got a part of it cleaned to see himself and he saw that he was beautiful. Then he wakes up in the city and saw he was looking at a storefront reflection, he looked around him and people saw his dirty clothe, he looked back at his reflection in the storefront and saw he wasn’t beautiful anymore. Then magically found Al-Botrs standing next to him, Khaled said “That was painful what was the purpose of all of this ?” Al-Botrs replied “ To show you that you are human with mistakes and faults, and to show you that other people still influence you, you have cleansed yourself, you have cleaned the mirror of which you see yourself. Now what is next ?” Khaled thought for a bit and said “ I must create Hal, I must create the artificial intelligence to save our future, I must start working”

 Khaled went back to his apartment and started working,  he realized he needed a CPU much stronger than the one he had, in fact he needed a system that is much more robust. He opened his phone and reached a company that sells what he needs but something was off about it. Everything seemed legit but it felt like he was dealing with evil. Little did Khaled know that he was, and so Khaled ordered the parts he needed even though he didn’t have the money, he put himself in debt for the machine. On the delivery date a normal delivery man didn’t show up, but a person wearing a suit wearing a red tie. He opened the door for him and the salesman entered his house and started talking to Khaled, but something was weird Khaled had a weird force controlling him, it was a vibe that he has never felt before, he felt that he was in the presence of evil. The salesman said “ How are you going to pay for all of that Mr.Khaled?” Khaled replied “ I will find a way to get the money for you by the end of the year” The salesman then said “ we understand that you are working on an Artificial intelligence is that correct ? “ Khaled  was amazed that he knew “ How did you know about that?” The salesman replied “We know a lot of things, we have sent the best parts we have but we require payment, your artificial intelligence would do. Now if you finish it and send it to us you will also have a very big sum of money, do we have a deal?” Khaled wanted with all his might to say no but a strange power took over him, the world started moving in slow motion, he felt his hand slowly being raised for a handshake, and his mouth muttered the words “ Deal.” The salesman shook his hand, and like a ghost passed through Khaled and disappeared. Khaled was left there a lone in his house with the parts he needed. He didn’t know how to process what happened to him, he didn’t know if this is real or one of the realities of the room with Al-Botrs. So Khaled left everything where it is and went to Al-Botrs to see if this was real and after a short trip and a greeting, he realized that it was all real. Khaled had nothing to do but to work, and so he did. With him observing Hal in the future Khaled was able to create an artificial intelligence that could hack into anything, write its own code, be programmed by sentences and words. This AI had no boundaries and nothing can stop it, it lived on the web and on data mining sets all around the world, it was extremely powerful. But Khaled was unhappy he created something that was too powerful for the public it was too dangerous, and so he went to Al-Botrs to ask for his consult. Khaled said to him “ I made a machine but I want to make something more, a global conscious that guides people to good, to prosperity. My trips into the realities you have showed me, opened my eyes, and it was revealed to me that there are two forces playing in the game of life, a force of good and a force of evil. Al-Botrs stopped him “ thinking of duality is cancerous and rudimentary, there are evil people and there are good people, but it goes far deeper than that, everyone can be evil, everyone can be good, and some people can be evil for good.” Khaled asked 

“What do you mean evil for good, is there such a thing?”  Al-Botrs replied “ Life is energy, life is an unseeable force, its an interplay between good and evil, like the known analogy of ying and yang, one feeds the other and one is found in another. But my dear friend if your visions have taught you anything is that things are more complicated than that” Khaled intervenes “ aren’t the simplest things the truest form of things?” Al-Botrs said “ That is very true, but it is the trip we take to reach simplicity, the road on which we discover the truest form, the journey that is filled with all types of spirals and turns and mazes, all to reach this simplicity. And so I must yet again use science and abstract it, connect it with our thoughts, join it with our lives, use my right side of the brain to make sense of the left, that is how we will reach the simplest truths. But you want to understand evil and good so let us start with philosophy let us start with ignorance the biggest of evil, the evil we are all guilty off, we all choose the blue pill, meaning choosing ignorance over knowledge in our lives because ignorance is a blessing, and it truly is, and sometimes we need it to go on with our lives, but as I explained both evil and good are found in each other and sometimes the right path is to choose ignorance, but I must warn you choosing ignorance will make you ignorant to yourself, you will not know yourself you will become the fish that swims to be eaten, and eats so that it can be eaten, and mates so that its children can be eaten. But now we stop and ask ourselves is that fish evil, for its predators this fish is the blessing that the predator needed, it is what is needed to keep the ocean alive, this ignorant fish’s destiny is to be eaten. Some people are like that, and they are not poor they live very happy lives fulfilling their destiny, and so even though they are ignorant they are good. But some fish are predators and that is their destiny, and they fulfill it by eating other fish, and so the predator is good also. So one must ask what is good and what is evil here ? The question comes down to what path are you on, your intentions, for your intentions gives you the freedom to take either the blue pill or the red one, the red one meaning knowledge. Intentions is what makes us human, so what are intentions? It is the choice of being either good or evil. And as life becomes more complicated and you have chosen the biggest evil which is ignorance your choice becomes limited to only evil, why ? Because choosing evil will make you ignorant, choosing evil is what breaks the cycle of energy for you to continue your journey, choosing evil will get you eaten by the other bigger fish. But evil is found in good and so choosing to be good will give you fangs and poison that give you the power to fend off the bigger scarier fish. Just like life if you choose to be ignorant and evil then you are a tiny lonely fish that thinks its bigger than it really it is, swimming to places it shouldn’t swim to. If you are good and ignorant you will be the sardine that swims in a pact and swims to get eaten by bigger fish than it is, a noble life for some. If you are evil and choose knowledge you will be an ugly fish forever hungry, forever swimming in circles not knowing the path, disruptive of the machine we call life. If you are good and choose knowledge, then you will be the whale you will be the shark, you will be the dolphin, smart and wise, finding their food as they swim the ocean trying to seek the truth in this world, playing their part in it. “ Khaled intervenes in a funny way and says “ Whales and dolphins are not fish they are mammal yet the shark is a fish…” Al-Botrs laughed “ Yes I wonder why ? Even though they swim in the same ocean. The whales and the dolphins brain are much larger than that of the shark. ” 

Khaled sat their thinking of what Al-Botrs said and replied “ If we understand one thing about the world that harmony is not achieved by the will of the organisms but by a higher power” 

Al-Botrs replied “ Yes and this higher power is God” Khaled then said “But you see we defy god and dont live by the heaven God put us in, we always want more and so we corrupt beautiful things and slowly decay them. We need a power that will do Gods job, and is not be subject to the laws of earth, but acts within it, a machine that governs us and governs our needs. Hal… But right now I created something too powerful, something that can be easily used for evil, something that will not make us reach the future you showed me but the future of destruction.“  Al-Botrs then said “ we should not be playing god with our creations” Khaled replied “ But it is inevitable if not me then somebody else will create the AI that governs us, God has given us the power to create something that will guide us through the deep hell we live in, to create an oasis, a heaven, but we should do it in Gods will and Gods way.” Al-Botrs sat there thinking for a bit and then said to Khaled “ Great then you are ready for the next lesson, energy.” Khaled then asked “ but how is this related to God, and Gods way?” Al-Botrs replied “ you will see in just a bit my hasty friend… God is not only an entity that created the world and universe but God is an idea, an idea of good. God is the collective good of the world, and evil add to it a D becomes the devil. Two opposing forces in the world, God created the devil and the devil rebelled but his actions only feed the good no matter how evil they are, good will always prevail with time and patience. You might ask what does this have to do with energy ? Well you must understand that evil even though it sometimes fuels the world in energy, the energy it created even though it is energy nonetheless but it corrupts the world and decays it. Like dopamine filled cancerous thoughts that are like addictive games, even though it is energy nonetheless but is the energy that is creating the tumors in your lungs or your abdomen. Also Evil is what stops energy, it halts progress, it taints and as I said multiple times it corrupts. We must understand that in the process of which our body makes energy. Glycolysis. I might ask you from where does our body get the energy to animate us and give us life ? Well the scientific answer is we get energy from burning fat or eating sugars. So from where do we get the first energy to start the process of glycolysis which is the process of which your body makes energy from sugar. Well you might say from digesting lipids and fats, then I will ask from where do we get the energy to burn lipids and fats then you might say acid in the stomach and enzymes, well these enzymes and (moltin which makes your stomach make acid) need energy so I will ask again from where do you get this energy? you might say from the brain, well you need energy to fire the synapses of your brain so from where do you get energy? then you will say from food, but food needs to be digested to be metabolized into energy to undergo the process of glycolysis and others. Then if you are smart you might say we get the energy from fermentation and bacteria but bacteria also requires energy to work and it needs a whole system to work properly so for the sake of simplifying the question we will couple our question with the very moment you need the 2 ATP to start the process of glycolysis, because as you have seen there is always the question from where did the first energy spark come from ? And I would argue God. What is God ? God in Gods many forms is the collective good of the world, and so good and only good that creates positive feedback loops that creates the energy for life. Evil in its many forms like cyanide for example, a poison that stops the electron transport chain in its 3rd complex, evil in its many forms like lies and deception transforms good energy into bad disease driven way, viruses for example are only pieces of RNA and DNA that use the energy of the cell to replicate, and it is usually based on a lie or a deception to your body.  And so we come back to your machine, the machine should allocate its energy to people who are most likely to succeed in their quest.
