The best tomorrow

The ban on using electronics applies only to general attendees. Doesn’t that sound unfair?

Science has advanced significantly. Technological progress brought bright electric lamps to the streets, powerful machinery to factories, and working computers to educational institutions. But what about outside of government facilities? Nothing. People’s lives seemed frozen, stuck in the past. Every day people use technology for work, but when they come home, they find the light of kerosene lamps, the warmth of wood-burning stoves, and a worn-out faith in a better future.

But it seems there is hope. We’ve touched upon something. A new layer of reality.

Thoughts can become material. There is no proof of this yet, but all roads lead to this conclusion. One day, in a small closed scientific town, scientists discover a generator. It is capable of producing electrical power from thoughts. But how is this possible? Where did it even come from? It’s as if the universe itself heard the scientists’ thoughts and gave them the answer to their questions.

Everyone understood the price of discovery. The generator had to be studied in secret, and for that, the scientists were soon sentenced to prison. The research remained unfinished. But is that a reason to give up?

The scientists have fled. They took refuge in the buildings of an abandoned factory and resolved not to stop—stealing equipment, sourcing materials, and gathering data for research. We are no longer just a research group; we are a commune. We continue searching for an exit into the global network of thought.

Perhaps we are all doing things wrong? The problem lies in the approach. Success cannot be achieved with a dry calculation alone—it requires something more.

Is the world a single consciousness—a network created by all thoughts, ideas, and knowledge? It sounds like a myth dreamed up by ancient pagans, back in the time when people worshipped the sun and idols. But perhaps there is some truth to it?
