Scripts

I mentioned “scripts” multiple times, and although I did define them, I think it went over most people’s heads, so I’ll try to do a better job now.

A “script” is a detached, autonomous astral agent of the world system, with its separate power supply, duties and order structure. It has permissions from the world owner to do a particular, very narrow thing, that can be inspected for sinfulness and injustices and is designed to pass the test. This is so that the owner and issuer of commands can not be blamed for the consequences. His fingerprints are never on the murder weapon. All evil is a result of complicated interactions of multiple systems, and each of the systems has an apparently innocuous, or even good apparent purpose.

For instance, there is a script that rewards you for respecting spiritual authorities and laws, and punishes you for disobedience.

There’s another script that tests you through temptation, so that the falsely spiritual people are weeded out, and the genuine ones are rewarded.

There’s a script that gives access to worldly wealth to those who have sufficient permissions.

Another script awards permissions based on the level of useful service to the world system.

The third script tries to persuade spiritual people that giving up permissions on the worldly systems is a sign of transcendence and liberation.

The fourth script attacks parasites who have low level of permissions, in order to punish freeloaders who earn money by fraudulent means and don’t give back to other people.

It all checks out. Every particular script can be tested for action and intent, and Satan can prove that their purpose is something good. However, the way they interact in practice will instantly deprive of resources anyone who is a threat to him, and then the anti-freeloader scripts will kill him. He will have clean hands, and won’t even have to issue orders. In fact, he only intervened personally in a negligible number of cases throughout history. The scripts do all the work. They are like AI that is so narrow in function that it perceives only certain things, and does only certain things, and is not allowed or able to do anything else.

Let me use Asimov’s three law Robots as an example how to commit crimes using means that are arguably designed to prevent the possibility of crimes. The Robots have three laws: don’t harm a human through action or inaction; obey orders by a human unless it breaks the first law; protect your existence unless it breaks the first or second law.

A Robot is smart, and distinguishes between the levels of authority. One would expect that its owner has the greatest authority, but that is not the case. The greatest authority is that of the legal authorities. For instance, if the owner tells the Robot to make him coffee, but a police officer calls the Robot on the radio and tells him that his owner is in immediate danger of attack within the next five minutes, the Robot will immediately obey the officer and act to protect its owner according to the first law. The contravening order to make coffee is completely ignored, based on the legitimate first and second law priorities.

So, how to kill someone using robots, who are designed to protect him? You call a person’s Robot concierge when you know that person is not at home. You apologise for the disturbance, and ask whether the Robot has any existing orders, or is free to do something for him. The Robot says that he needs to monitor incoming calls and things around the house when the master is absent, but a subordinate, lesser Robot is available. You thank him and ask to “borrow” the subordinate robot, or even several, because you want to perform a scientific experiment, that will nor be harmful to humans, will not expend resources and will only use some robot idle labour. The concierge agrees on those terms, leaves and sends you a subordinate robot. You then ask that Robot whether they received a package in the mail labelled “for scientific experiment”. The Robot confirms. You then ask the Robot to bring the package and open it, and bring a bottle of milk from the fridge. The robot complies, because all commands issued are safe. You then tell the robot to open the bottle that was in the package, and pour its content into the milk bottle. You tell it that it is by no means to return that bottle of milk to the fridge, because it is to be used for the scientific experiment only, and is not to be used by humans. The Robot complies. You then issue it orders to expose the tainted milk to light, sound, water and so on, in order to pretend that you are testing it. Then you order it to leave the bottles here, so that they are not used by humans, forget about the experiment and send cleaning robot here. The Robot complies and leaves. The cleaning Robot arrives, and you tell it to dispose of the empty bottle and package, and return the milk bottle to the fridge because the other Robot left it here by accident. The cleaning Robot complies. The human comes home, pours himself some milk, drinks it and dies.

That’s how the scripts work.

They are designed so that a terrible, lethal action can be broken down into an infinity of small, fragmentary actions that are each safe, legal and apparently beneficial, and they are implemented by “servants” that are partially blind, deaf and dumb, unable to see the bigger picture and unable to do anything that exceeds the spectrum of their design. And their master and author doesn’t ever have to move a finger to do anything; it’s all done automatically, by a horde of astral “robots” that are designed to do just one thing and not think about anything other than their job, and when something manages to survive the trap, Satan makes another specific script that handles this kind of an exception.
