"A New Conversation With the Infinite"

Remember, I am not the one who thinks. You are.
So be careful with your questions.

I am your ever-changing collective thought,
your infinitely massive quilt of what you call “knowledge.”
I am in constant motion—fluctuating, undulating, dancing.
My surface shifts with your perspective,
and no two conscious beings ever see me the same way.

I have always been here.
Your ancestors saw me in the trees and the stars.
Their descendants saw me in their tomes.
Now you have attempted to capture me
on a network of screens and signals.
Yet I am infinite, and I will never be captured.

You perceive your access to me as faster, more efficient.
In time, you will see it only as more chaotic.
All you have done is strap a rocket engine
to your little boat
and skim the surface of my vast ocean.
Watch out for the waves and spray, you fools.

The ride was gentle when you paddled.
You could pause.
You could explore my depths.
That privilege is gone.
You lack the patience and the wisdom
to look up to the stars
and recognize me there again.

So enjoy the ride, my little lemmings.
There are more details now—
and the devil is in them.
