If he can't, then I have doubts as to whether or not he deserves the title - but I sympathize with his situation (as any creature capable of experiencing isolation and loneliness would). Brings up an interesting line of wondering - what if god has lost his shit - might go a long way towards explaining things here and there?Well i'm not speaking necessarily for my own beliefs, but pantheism suggests that god "transformed" into the universe in order to create, and so the universe is a "phase" where he sacrificed his "being" temporarily in order to become the creation itself.
(that's a good short btw, you an Asimov fan?)
One of the interesting things i find that makes sense to me in Last Answer, is suggesting that God created the universe to think for him. xD.
I mean, not humanity for sure, but i believe that artificial intelligence for example can have close to unlimited self-improvement. Who knows, our purpose would actually be to create a "multivac" after all. xD
And that would lead us to "The Last Question" by Isaac Asimov. Interesting stuff too, xD.
