Stupid questions

Some things are repeatedly crossing my mind because people think them when they are reading my articles and books, especially the last one.

For instance, “how can he possibly know this?”, or “why does nobody else know this?”

It’s an annoying question, because it’s the wrong one. The right question is “who is he actually?” When that’s correctly answered, everything else is very easily understandable.

You essentially have a flow chart of possibilities. First junction is whether this is fiction or a fictionalised description of reality. If it’s fiction, you have no problems – you think I just invented it and that’s that. If it’s fictionalised description of reality, you have a problem, because I’m not writing some generalised nonsense like, basically, everybody else. I’m being extremely specific, and I’m also talking about things that should be extremely hard to know, for instance what happened between two or three people who were in a private room that is isolated from any kind of spying. The answer is obvious – either somebody who knows told me, or I was one of the people in the room and I remembered it. People dislike both options because of what they imply. The possibility that a Primordial God personally told me what they and their peers talked about implies that I’m on an intimate basis with them, and this also implies that what I’m writing needs to be taken absolutely seriously because it all comes from the highest authority. The option that I’m one of those Primordials is even worse. So, they get stuck at asking stupid questions, not because they couldn’t answer them, but because they don’t like the answer, likely because they want to keep their ideas and in order to do that, they need to keep a diminished idea about me, to rationalise their so-called skepticism.

I mean, some things are so fucking obvious. Years ago I wrote about remembering certain things because I was there, and in the book I narrated them from the position of a character in the book. If you have a problem connecting those dots, you have negative IQ. I don’t think people are actually that stupid. They just don’t like the conclusion, so they stop far enough from it and pretend to ask questions. That’s what I find annoying.
