It would be fun to think about this from a cybersecurity or system management perspective. The goal is to find things within the action range of humanity that would at least cause a minor annoyance.
Two starters in Christianity:
- DDoS hell to force god to adapt rules.
How? Make a lot of babies and make everyone behave like assholes. Following the rules, everyone should then go to hell, which would eventually become overcrowded. Being almighty, god could of course increase the size of hell, but I’d let that count as a minor annoyance. Also, there would be no supply of people entering heaven, which could be another annoyance. There is a potential that this leads to an adaption of rules, e.g., to be more lenient with some people.
- Collectively deny to procreate.
Deny to make new bebes so humanity dies out and god has nothing to distract from his boredom anymore.
The concept of DDoS-ing hell just to annoy god is funny as shit
If you’re interested in one of the most interesting reads ever, there’s a book called Surface Detail by Iain M Banks (Author of The Culture series of scifi books, Use Of Weapons and The Wasp Factory, to name a couple of well known titles)
It follows a couple of storylines, one of which is a War against a civilisation that has developed a digital recreation of biblical Hell to trap and punish dissidents, and the physical war that led to a back and forth of digital fighting after military accelerationism reached a stalemate.
Thanks, I’ll check that out. I read a book by him once about a weird endless bridge and the protagonist being essentially caught in dreams but tries to escape through psychoanalysis. Something like that. The other books are on my (long) list though
Damn, now that sounds like a strong read.
Definitely know what it’s like with the long list of books, there’s a stack of them staring at me from across the room right now
