For millennia prior, blood was shed not over religion, borders, or gold. No, it was information — the true gold of humanity. Information is what guides us; it’s what has allowed us to transform from tribal species wandering the deserts to empire-building creatures our previous incantations would have seen as gods. The destruction of the Library of Alexandria is perhaps so egregious, so heinous, because we all recognize that, fundamentally, it represents the destruction of Information. Nobody cares to remember the treasures of Alexandria: They are meaningless to a modern society, mere trinkets. No, we ponder and muse to ourselves about what may have been recorded there and now lost to history. Information is what makes us great. It is the fuel for a determined mind. It guides you, makes you stronger. When applied properly, Information allows for world building and the exchange of meta philosophies, and with enough Information, nothing is impossible. It is the construct of reality by which all things are universally connected.
Information wants to be free.
