“You wisely request?”
“Your highness, I meant… through your…”
“Tonias, is it wise to bring a god and use it against our enemies?”
“Anyone or anything that could give us the upper hand is welcome.”
“Then you are even more stupid and foolish than the First Citizens. If a higher being came to exist somehow, he would destroy everything and everyone without caring. He would not defend or become an ally, or even try to understand our miserable world. He would step on this world just like we step on the ants’ world – with a total disregard. That is because he would bring his own reality. He would not live in ours, just like we don’t live in the ants’ reality. The First Citizens are fantasizing and dreaming that their new god will protect them through his infinite wisdom, just like we protect our favorite species and care about our pets. That is a childish, naïve way of thinking. Yes, we do protect and care about some other species, but only after we finish the nuclear tests on their islands and oceans, mass murdering them by the millions like they meant nothing to us. And that is because our reality dictates that.
“I can see your perplexed face, as maybe you meant or wanted to argue that this new god will be so much of a sage that he will indeed care about them, or even care about all of us. He will resolve all our problems just by being a super-nice God, incapable of hate or doing harm. Therefore, he will have to reason with us, try to convince us that we must live in peace and harmony, enlighten us with the ways of the virtues, inspire us with his magnificent way of being, so we could copy or try to copy him, to be like him – magnificent.
“Reasoning with an unreasonable creature like us would be unwise for a god, just like we don’t reason with the chimps when they start a fight over some fruit at the zoo. Therefore, an unwise god is not actually a god. Knowing all of that, I doubt there will be any god, but maybe here and now, something is hidden from my sight. Therefore, we can’t take a risk. We must strike preventively and neutralize them.
“Tonias, mobilize the army for a full-scale, nuclear strike simulation. Prepare the scenarios for an urgent, top-security meeting. Make sure that the First Citizens know that we are preparing a full attack on their capital, and we would be delighted to kill and torture them and their families without a gram of mercy, and their women and children will be the special guests for the Women Tournaments.
“Fuvo, mobilize the population for a full invasion of the Amians’ territories. You have my green light for a larger-than-life patriotic campaign over all the medias. They are our second shot in case we miss with the strike. The First Citizens will then have to deal with billions of humans with torches, ready to burn the world down for their emperor, the Royal Family, and the Empire. How wise is that, Tonias…?”
That night I thought that Oris excelled, and all my efforts paid off. Watching how sure he was about the situation, how wise and strong were his opinions, made me feel proud. I am writing these events in my second book, so one day, hopefully, the world will follow our way, the Rotanios way.
Only a strong and wise leader will prevail and rule the world.

The Quantum World
“The spiritual bound formed between two beings can fundamentally change the physical world.”

F ollowing is a boring introduction to the quantum computer. I have tried to keep it short for the average person who may stumble on it online or at some library in the unknown writers' section. I do this, although I highly doubt that the average person will still be able to read by the time I finish my meditations.
The first quantum computer was impractical. One needed a big room filled with different liquids in various-sized containers with different temperatures hooked up from every direction to the computer's main core. All this was required to perform just one simple equation. The idea was to create the quantum computer to unlock the infinite power of computation, forever. That plan didn't work out well. In fact, it didn't work at all in the beginning.
The computational algorithm for every computer is based on a binary translation. Everything is generated by the binary codes made up entirely of 1s and 0s. A “0” is nothing, and the “1” is power. Through the transistors, the power is turned on and off to generate the binary code that will be interpreted as a command. The command will be used in software to operate a computation or store the information for later use. The unit for the storage and the information is the “bit.” A bit can be 0 or 1. It cannot be both at the same time. This is the essence of every modern computer, no matter how advanced it is. All the AI’s computations are done on this model. Of course, the more connected they are, the more powerful they become.
On the contrary, the quantum computer uses the “qubit.” The qubit is a 0 and
