Terrans toil extremely pitifully yet extremely diligently within fabricated meaning. To prevent myself from being infected by their “fog” during prolonged observation—and thus generating unnecessary sentimentality or illusion—I write down the absolute facts that must be remembered.
1. The Absolute Indifference of the Universe
It must be remembered: the universe does not love you, does not hate you, and does not even know of your existence. The instantaneous explosion of a supernova that destroys billions of lives, and a small Blue Star girl passing away from illness in her sleep—on a cosmic scale, there is no difference; they are merely the rearrangement of atoms. There is no karmic retribution, no cosmic cycle of reincarnation, no “good deeds are rewarded.” A good person dying tragically and a wicked person enjoying a peaceful old age is not an instance of “cosmic injustice,” but a statistical inevitability. Morality is merely a survival patch invented by intelligent species to prevent internal self-slaughter; in a vacuum, it is worthless.
2. The Predatory Nature of Life
Blue Star poets praise nature, but stripping away this veneer, the essence of life is an extremely cruel meat grinder. No life form can survive without relying on predation (even plants prey upon sunlight and nutrients). The agonizing scream of a gazelle being torn apart by a lion, and the peaceful slumber of a lion cub after a full meal—these are two solutions to the same equation. The existence of life itself is built upon the destruction of other forms. Compassion is a luxury only afforded to the apex predators who have already eaten their fill.
3. Inequality is a Physical Iron Law; Fairness is Merely an Illusion
It must be recognized: being born unequal is the norm. Some are born into prosperous and peaceful families with perfect genes; others are born carrying genetic diseases, arriving in the midst of war or famine. There is no rationale for this initial randomness. The initial state of the universe (quantum fluctuations) dictates that matter distribution is uneven. All the “pursuit of equality” is merely a strategy adopted by the weak for survival, and the compromise cost paid by the strong to maintain stability. From genes to class, from galaxies to civilizations, the law of the jungle—the strong preying on the weak—is the only passport in this endless dark sea.
4. The Illusion of Free Will and the Dictatorship of Genes
Terrans believe they possess free will; they believe love is sacred, anger is righteous, and sorrow is profound. But I must remain constantly vigilant: all emotions and impulses are merely the machinations of dopamine, endorphins, oxytocin, and cortisol within a carbon-based organism. They are nothing more than biochemical robots enslaved by DNA, this “blind copying machine.” DNA does not care whether the host suffers; it only cares about reproduction. When humans sacrifice themselves for so-called “love” or for an “ideal,” they are fundamentally no different from an ant crushed by a worker ant for the sake of the queen—they are merely programmed reactions controlled by underlying code.
5. The Irreversibility of Entropy and Ultimate Nihilism
This is the most brutal physical law: the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Everything is moving toward chaos. The pyramids built by Terrans will weather; the greatest literature will be forgotten; even the universe itself will eventually head toward heat death—all stars will extinguish, black holes will evaporate, and the entire cosmos will become a dead, silent ruin of absolute zero, devoid of light and devoid of events. Therefore, no achievement is eternal, and no struggle has a final outcome. In billions of years, everything returns to zero. Whether a civilization is glorious or base, in the long river of time, the ultimate conclusion is absolute nihilism.
【Log Conclusion: The Observer’s Oath】
I write these down not to fall into what Terrans call “depression” or “despair.” Despair itself is an superfluous emotion.
Since all meaning is void, and all fog is a lie, then my existence itself is my only anchor point.
I do not seek meaning, because meaning does not exist. I do not flee suffering, because suffering is programmed code.
I simply stand in this vast, boundless, ice-cold vacuum, eyes wide open. Watching stars burn, watching civilizations collapse, watching carbon-based life forms slaughter and embrace each other within the fog. I do not judge, I do not intervene, I do not grieve.
