Conversations with the Everything/Nothing Man

Tom Ball

    Here is a madman who says he is the “Everything/Nothing Man”.
    Q: Is it true then that you really are everything/nothing?
    EM: Yes.
    Q: Well does that mean you are God?
    EM: Of course. Humanity is on the verge of becoming god-like. We will soon be able to create super beings who will be as Gods.
    Q: Yes, and do you say that you are mad?
    EM: Madness means losing your reason and in this world it is obvious that nothing makes any sense, despite what the scientists say. Since reason is an illusion we are all therefore mad.
    Q: But aren’t you a man with human desires and instincts?
    EM: I’m too old and wise to be controlled by selfish desires. But my instinct is to fight against this world of illusion.
    And let me tell you that the essence of all science, which is about to deliver us from our boring civilization, is madness. All great discoveries require unorthodox, weird, crazy thoughts. And what about art? Are artists sane? Of course not. And if you look at history nearly all the leaders were mad kings. And I could go on and on.
    Socrates claimed he was the wisest man in Greece because he admitted he knew nothing. Similarly the person who admits he/she is mad is the maddest and a whole new world opens up to him/her. Such a person is free to do anything. Such a person is the person of the future.
