Conditional Reality

Year 1: The vacuum cleaner doesn’t reach all the corners, especially under the couch. Year 10: The dust clumps grow at an alarming rate we cannot suppress. Year 100: The first stirrings of consciousness snake through the dust clumps like puffy networks. Year 1,000: Psychics channel the thoughts of the dust clumps. Year 10,000: We name the clumps after various species of rabbit. Year 100,000: The clumps migrate to remote locations in the Australian outback where they build shelters and provide for their offspring. Year 1,000,000: We visit the clumps. We respect their society. We want to emulate their happiness.
