Childish smiles appeared on the faces of most of the people in the group, though they themselves were not only at a high and responsible status, but also a level of intelligence.
Rutra, of course, did not personally make such decisions related to the demonstration of the method. Therefore, if there were any representatives of science in the group, they were members of political or administrative-managerial structures, mainly of a closed subdivision of the UN Security Council. The decision on declassification, public demonstration of the method was made by him after a conversation with Parmen, a month before.
And it went like this.
Chapter 2: Testing the Future
– Buddy, why don't we see what happens tomorrow?
When the "luminary of science" began in such a manner, which was expressed in the suggestion of something uninteresting, illogical and even stupid, Rutra immediately realized that he was up to something grandiose.
– We'll sleep tonight and see what happens tomorrow," Ruthra replied in the same manner.
– Then think about our role in the life of other worlds.
– And how have we affected these worlds?
– So that's something that needs to be checked out.
– And how's that?
– I thought you were smarter than that.
– You shouldn't have thought so.
They laughed. Many people, listening to their conversation from the outside, took their remarks seriously, which puzzled them about their relationship: it seemed that they were almost enemies, when in fact they were amusing themselves by arousing the emotions of others.
Rutra even had a peculiar theory about this kind of catching pleasure from influencing the emo ts y of those around him. This theory was part of his worldview about metaphysics. And the essence of it was people's uncertainty about understanding god, namely, what god needs from us. According to the logic that people put into the concept of god, it would be reasonable to assume that god doesn't need people at all. And if he created them, it means that he pursued some purpose. Everyone explained this purpose in his own way, starting from sages, thinkers and ending with charlatans and swindlers. Much more there were, of course, self-confident, and sometimes autocrats, fantasists. And it was a blessing if they did not have a sick imagination.
