George decided to write his Philosophy of Everything so future generations could be as confused as he was.
He wrote and wrote and wrote explaining how spacetimes instantiated invisible worlds wherever a wavefunction collapsed. Not liking the idea of other people’s minds getting in the way with objections, he reduced them to mindless matter. He called his branch of philosophical foam The New Mysterianism of the Matter Mind.
Eventually George published his book.
Not even the devil bothered to read it.

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Oh poor George… not even his mother read it? Shame on her if that’s the case.

I forgot about his mother. I hope he gave her a copy. Thank you, Misky!

I’m sure she bought at least a dozen copies. That’s what mothers do.

you had me at “George decided to write his Philosophy of Everything so future generations could be as confused as he was.”
one of our favorite old shows is ‘The Good Place’ just last night we watched Season 1 Episode 3 and there is a line very much like the one in your Six this week

I’m glad you liked the beginning!
I haven’t watched TV in decades, but I found scenes from The Good Place on YouTube and then Season 1 Episode 3 but it was a video of a girl (Vic?) watching the episode. It was like watching two videos at once. The guy with the 3,000 page manuscript could well have been George.

As Screwtape pointed out, the materialist magician (at least, if I’m remembering correctly and I can’t lay my hands on my copy at this moment or I’d look it up).

George was a materialist magician. I remember reading The Screwtape Letters some years ago. CS Lewis’s writings are very powerful. Blessings, Mimi!

Oh dear, poor George. I also hope his mom had got several copies.
And yes, I remember reading C. S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters – I also think I have it some where still.

I’m sure George gave everyone, including his mother, copies. However, if I were him, considering what he wrote, I wonder if that would be the best thing to do. Thank you, Chris!

I wonder if George realizes he was really just writing the book for himself? On to the next one; it will go better!

As I think about it, it was his first book. His second will (hopefully) be better. Thank you, Liz!

I’m guessing he self-published it, it’s hardly Penguin material!

Probably and if Clark’s suspicion is correct it was over 3000 pages long. Thank you, Keith!
