As they made their way from the Bunker room and further into the Underground Network, Darken began to ask Itvasme a few questions, which he explained were necessary owing to the nature of his Plans.
"Well, first of all, I know World Domination won't be easy. As a matter of fact, it's likely highly that a lot of people - especially those in positions of privilege and power - might get upset about it. Then again, people get upset about a lot of things 🫢✨."
"Thought is energy ✨. This has always been the case, as long as we have been [Aware] and Sentient Beings. And as the World's Population - and Human Civilization - has grown, People have been increasingly influenced, through the power of their thoughts, to hold onto certain beliefs that shape their actions."
"Of course, People in general are also seeking what they believe is 'best' for their own lives, and hold views that they believe to be true - at least in their personal view - which are usually connected to what they believe would be 'best' for them, and which affects what they will ultimately do."
"In the process of this accumulation of [Thought Energy], various forms of organizing forces were created, all for the purpose of bringing people together under the basic premise of improving their quality of life - religions, governments, and various social, political, and legal institutions are some examples."
"Religions, governments and the typical political and legal channels are imbued with the power of collective belief, and a self-evident way in which the power of Thought Energy has manifested and influenced the World."
"But people are people, and not everyone and everything fits neatly into such mainstream structures. People have lots of different beliefs, lots of which contradict other peoples' beliefs. Some people also hold thoughts and beliefs which are harmful to others or take advantage of others for their own perceived gain. Then again, some other people also genuinely believe that the best life lived is to be of benefit to others."
"There are many other beliefs that exist aside from the mainstream ones. For example, the spirit of the counter-establishment, throughout history, has always existed, as a necessary counterweight and check to 'official' powers that might otherwise run rampant into stifling overregulation and conservative stagnation."
"In other words… the Energies of Thought are scattered, diffuse and very often misdirected…"
"…But before I can say more, I need to ask you a question.
"Do you want to make the world… Better?"
