Various Players in a Days-Old World
Originally written on October 22, 2024
Starting off with an idyllic lens, in a small hill, there appeared hundreds of men, women, and children of varying ages, one being only 2 years old and another being as old as 70 years old. Even then, each carried their own background and personality to the table. But this was no ordinary table, because this was a world that was born only several days ago, having been created by a god, who was the same one who transported them here from Earth.
In reference to solutions to counterbalance an unsustainably solely idyllic perspective, the god knew well that displacement of such a degree would traumatize them and break their sense of selves, so he hoped that by his direct participation, he may aid them in establishing the following icons: a community chest, a personality profile, and an equippable sword that does no damage to others nor to the environment, but serves as a tool for sending a forest-wide message in the sky that provides one's location to others and can serve to emphasize a particular point with the sounds and swings that it creates, because these elements have a matgical effect that turns social fellows' attention toward the sword wielder.
When it came to a smaller and more immediate view of the situation, a trio of men representing ages 17, 15, and 24 were approached by a larger group consisting of adults, all of whom were wearing business attire. This inaugural meeting between the two parties established the first moment of interpersonal interaction, cultural beginnings, and various other achievements of man in this new era and world. It was a fresh start like dandelions interspaced between stones placed under an ordered appraisal by an established key manager of flowers.
As to a broader view of this entire situation, while the concept of roles, ideas, concepts, symbols, and icons could inform the world-sent humans, given the lower population count, the humans themselves could be highly individual and would occupy vastly varying sides on the following challenges that await them in this new world. It is not only challenges as a shared idea, but the very meaning of "challenges" themselves was subject to debate. Not only to the aforementioned concepts, but this extended to every other idea that becomes necessary in communicating strategies, plans, and considerations in the context of a multiplicity of angles and details that would come into conflict within a wider scope of actions and decision-making. This could be seen as operational tension and a breeding ground for conflict and addressal. This situation went far beyond and would be subjected to the very question of what language was even beyond what they had long been taught and they had grown to recognize in respect to the existence of the human race on Earth as they knew it. Ultimately, the world-sent humans were not just starting out as an existence in a vacuum, but they would be forced to reconsider everything that they had ever known within the suddenly appearing context of their new world.
In conclusion, four lens had been explored: one idyllic, one solution-oriented, one immediate and interpersonal, and one about epistemology and language. This multi-axial development of ideas could be identified the starting explosion of insight surrounding the foregoing humans.
