Can writers create books, movies, songs and video games at the current pace forever?

I would say transcendence but that has a negative connotation.

That's not bad going considering it's supposed to have been commissioned in 1604 and published in 1611.

Unless the Georgia Guide Stones get their way and reduce the population to some manageable level, in which case no, there will be no stories in that world.

Yes, now you understand the plan.

I'll rephrase that because it sounds a bit of an insult and it's not entirely accurate. I wouldn't want anybody to get the wrong idea. Regarding this [messiah/superhero/god/saviour/lord/golden child/chosen one/christ/king/supernatural being/anomaly/alien invader] you speak of...

No matter what he/she/it wears/drives/eats,
No matter how fast he/she/it can run/knit/rap/swim/hop,
No matter how popular you think he/she/it is,
No matter how witty/smart/funny/righteous/charismatic/succesful he/she/it appears to be,
No matter how long he/she/it can hold his/her/its breath underwater for,
No matter how often/much he/she/it says he/she/it donates to charity,
No matter how he/she/it cons and how much XP he/she/it gives,
No matter how often he/she/it is on the TV/radio/cinema screen,
No matter how much he/she/it can press/curl/lift,
No matter how many pounds/dollars/euro/bitcoins forbes says he/she/it has in his/her/its bank account,
No matter what kind of hat he/she/it wears,
No matter how many times he/she/it goes to church/synagogue/mosque,
No matter what nationality/religion/race/sexual orientation he/she/it claims he/she/it is,
No matter how many times he/she/it has been on the cover of time magazine,
No matter how many wells he/she/it buiilds in africa,
No matter what skin colour/eye colour/hair colour he/she/it has,
No matter how many views/subscribers/comments/likes/upvotes/belts/trophies/medals/awards/degrees he/she/it has to his/her/its name,
No matter how good you think he/she/it can sing/dance/act/juggle/surf/ice skate/kick a ball/catch a ball/hit a ball/fumble a ball,
No matter how many people vote for him/she/it,
No matter how many jokes/languages/words/phrases/sayings he/she/it knows off by heart,
No matter how good he/she/it is at playing everquest/battlefield/fortnight/chess/monopoly,
No matter how much pre-nerf and NToV loot he/she/it has,
No matter what title/label/description he/she/it has for himself/herself/itself,
No matter what promises he/she/it makes,
No matter if he/she/it is in your favourie movie/tv show,

If he/she/it is not me then he/she/it is an imposter and I reject.

I have an in-built imposter detecter which is infallible and works something like this:-

1. Is this [messiah] which everybody is talking about me?

2. If subject is not me then subject is imposter

3. If subject is imposter then reject imposter

My imposter detecter runs all the time even when I'm asleep.

In fact, I only recently discovered I had it because I was so distracted with bullshit.

So the most important answer wasn't on some distant planet but right there in front of me the whole time and it's with me everywhere I go.

I like it that way, so much simpler.

Why make life more complicated than it needs to be?
