The days of science are coming to an end. Just as sorcery once served it’s purpose before it’s curtains were drawn, so science will one day shutter itself for storage, leaving datalism as the new paradigm with which to interact with reality, giving acceptance to the fact that nature itself is predictable with a personality, rather than unpredictable and working by acts of god, or chaos, for that is the unspoken engine that drives science. For this paradigm to emerge, there first needs to exist a prophet, or at least an acceptance in the community, of a fractional god, beyond which humanity lacks the mental capacity to comprehend or even acknowledge as existing. Just as god was a precursor to science, so a fractional god is a precursor to datalism. Before I state the impossible and claim that I am a datalist, let me first say that I am more likely an informationalist, for this is an earlier movement and phenomenon, replacing the, or being added to, the technology entrepreneur, who superseded the industrialist. The industrialist built industry, the technology entrepreneur built the informational infrastructure, and the informationalist utilizes it.
Hearken! Oh mighty Windsors! Your rule has no bounds, which is why I, a humble Arab, can cast my allegiance to you, living in a oasis of blue skies and needy cats. Your scepter might be small, but it will clink the mellowest of sounds when parrying and thrusting against the papal ferula, a debate recorded for the benefit of both sides. Yes, I am a Muslim, but my prayer stone reminds me everlastingly that I worship the earth. Your angels are the wills of steel that create an invisible mesh of regularity to a chaotic world, and though Zeus conquered the titans, Hades still spreads his mist in the hinterlands of what should be thriving and bustling megalopolises. Envy you the moon? Just name a place there, and it will be populated. Strike me with lightning, for I will eke out every little morsel of effort from your people, galvanizing them into building wonders looked back upon after millennia the way Stonehenge is looked at now, which though small now, was the peak of civilization then....
