《Humanity’s Next Steps》A Double-Edged Sword
Advertisement
Dr Samantha Frankel, a geneticist, discovered what she called 'the faith gene' — and suppressed it …
A test group lost faith in everything but equally lost their creativity, becoming metaphorical 'p-zombies.'
She and Jack, her assistant, discussed the results.
"They've become p-zombies," said Jack.
"A double-edged sword ..." replied Samantha.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
"How so?"
"This 'faith gene' forms a bridge, filling a gap and creating the delusion to believe in fantasy."
"So, where's the double edge?" asked Jack.
"Creativity, intelligence, and abstraction function as the gene expresses itself, but the cost is equally to have delusions, such as bizarre ideologies and false beliefs in aliens, the metaphysical realm, and anything unprovable."
"So, we can stop the delusions?" Jack raised an eyebrow.
"Perhaps, by deactivating the gene, though, p-zombies shall walk the Earth."
"So, it's hopeless?" Jack raised his hands.
"Hopeless? Maybe." She shrugged. "But only if it matters to you."
"What do you mean, if it matters, Professor?"
"Well, Jack, if the delusions control or hold power over us, that'll matter. Otherwise, I say, let them be."

8 764(Dropped) Crown of the martyr and martyr of the Crown.
An undisputed being sits upon his throne, the Crown of damnation adorning his head. One gaze enough to make gods tremble, and one wave of his hand enough to make the mightiest of demons flee. An unfathomable cataclysm will surely arrive when such a being is slain and grasps another chance to walk among the living. This is a story of a monarch more ancient than time itself defying the absolution of death in his eternal strive to accomplish his primordial goal. And the Crown gazes on ravenously, its curse awaiting its next martyr. --- Story with an overpowered mc who still thinks with his brain, not muscles. I believe I put my own twist on the reincarnation trope. The story is mostly told from third person view with mc’s perspective. New chapters are released 3 times a week. --- This is an updated synopsis after requests from viewers. --- I do not own the cover picture.
