What a brilliant story!

I couldn't stop laughing all the way through.

Good on you Ben.

Glad you liked it, MP & Zerdini. It was fun writing it, too!

New to your blog. Wish your opinion on origin of human thoughts (present time). Also, tell me why I am wrong in guessing that thought is as eternal as all organic life and exists fractually.

tell me why I am wrong in guessing that thought is as eternal as all organic life

My (unprovable) assumption is that consciousness is the basis for the physical universe, including life. If so, then consciousness preceded the cosmos and will be around even after the cosmos is kaput. So while organic life (i.e., physical life) is not eternal, consciousness is.

and exists fractually

I'm not sure what this means.

origin of human thoughts (present time)

My (purely speculative) guess is that human consciousness is an offshoot of the larger consciousness that gives rise to all of existence.

But I'm not trying to pose as a guru. When it comes to metaphysical questions, your answer is as good as mine, if not better.
