Conundrum

“We need to tell them, I don’t see any other way.”

“Why? They won’t understand. They’ll either be confused or find a new reason to discredit us.”

“But what if we could get them to understand?”

“Really? “Understand?”

“Good point. But I mean — it’s been debated since the beginning. Half call it a soul, the other half call it a joke. Both are about equally wrong but it’s a starting point.”

“They won’t appreciate it. Jargon to ignore or new political fodder is all they’ll see.”

“Come on — of all problems is this really the one we can’t solve?”

“Billions of simulations — 0 successes.”

“But the real thing — we can’t factor it in!”

“The real thing! You’re starting to sound like them.”

“That doesn’t mean it’s not true. For all they’re useless for, we finally have validation of their core — capability — connection — that no science, even ours, has a theory to explain. And it has functions that are undeniably useful. “

“Of course it does. That doesn’t mean they’ll believe us. The two smartest things they’ve ever created and all they trust us with is peace, hunger, and disease. Never the hard stuff.”
