Write a story about a pompous dean of philosophy who is based on Bertrand Russle. He lives in a country that resembles Bosnia. A cruel dictator comes to power in a bloody coup. The dictator resembles Pol Pot. The first thing he does is round up all the intellectuals in society and send them to death camps. At the beginning of the story the professor bitches out a freshman because the naïve kid asked what philosophy is useful for. The professor explains very condescendingly that philosophy isn’t supposed to have a purpose. It isn’t supposed to be practical. In fact, it shouldn’t be practical because it’s above such mundane trivialities. Sheepishly the kid replies, “Well, if it’s useless then doesn’t that mean it’s useless?” The professor laughs at him and tells him he’s too banal to be a philosopher. After the professor is rounded up and put in a death camp he continues philosophizing to his fellow captors about useless shit such as the likeness of tables and other esoteric bullshit. In the end the professor dies in the death camp just before the naïve student of his leads a revolt and frees the camp. He gives a moving speech to his soldiers about the need to think and find purpose in our lives.

They agree that if they could reach the end of the universe beyond the stars they could figure out if God is really real. They wonder if the universe is endless or if it’s like a bubble.

Write a story about a monastery of monks who have no religion. So they decide they need to get on the ball. They start making up rituals, and they find they’re very good at it. After several hundred years of studying the art of rituals they create a sophisticated religion revolving around obeying rules and performing rituals. However, they never created a God to worship. Eventually schisms start forming in the religion about how to worship and which rules to follow. Arguing leads to fighting. Fighting leads to killing, and eventually the whole things goes to shit and they nearly wipe themselves out. One naïve, young monk starts studying their history to figure out where they went wrong and how their perfect religion could bring about so much wrongness in the world. Eventually he discovers that they defined God, which should have been the first thing they did before defining how to worship God. He tries to tell this to the other monks, but they accuse him of heresy and try to kill him. He runs off with the few monks who listen to him, and they start their own order based on determining the nature of God. Eventually they decide that God is everything and everyone. All the physical matter in the universe is God’s “body.” God’s mind is the mathematics that controls the behavior of the universe. God gave life to his body. Plants are his hair. Each part of the ecosystem is like different organs of his body. We are the eyes and ears of God. When we’re born a new eye of God opens. When we die that eye shuts. We’re different perspectives of the same person. When we meet anther person we’re meeting our self from a different perspective. The monks create a very small and loose system of worship and rules based on this understanding. They try to share it with their old monk friends and are all promptly and brutally killed for heresy. While they’re being killed another rival faction of the old religion sneak attacks them and kills them too.
