After arguing about religion with my brother for hours one night, I decided I was going to come up with my own arbitrary rules for reality. A way for the universe to work that wasn't provable or disprovable, simple, and could improve the quality of all human life everywhere if it were accepted as the truth. It came to me in a wave of inspiration, one bit flowing perfectly, sequentially, and obviously into the next. I was excited. I'd never heard anybody else talk about this kind of idea before! It was beautiful. I was a damned genius.
The next day I read The Egg and was happy for you/me, a little sad, but mostly I felt silly because of course in all the lives I've lived, the odds that this is the first time I've had this idea are pretty slim. The timing was weird, though.
