From led to gold, from order to chaos

We consider this world our reality, real and solid. But we continue to try and change and reshape that reality. We are now coming to the point that we are able to manipulate the building blocks – atoms – of our reality. But what would happen if we could manipulate and reconstruct matter? Wouldn’t our reality no longer be fixed and solid but what ever we wanted it to be? We would be able to change led to gold. This means that our entire economic system would crumble because we could make diamonds from carbon, and refuel our cars and power plants without having to drill for oil. The entire foundation of our sophisticated society would crumble, because our rules for this reality no longer apply and are no longer relevant. What does this tell us? That our reality is not a reality at all and that the rules we use for this reality are only are primitive brains trying to cope with the chaos and trying to make sense of something we will never be able to fully understand. Like trying to make sense of the endless possibilities in the grocery store, organized so we can understand it, but if it’s reorganized we get totally confused, let alone if totally different products replace the old ones or it’s costs are changed drastically. All shoppers would lose their mind, just because what the see doesn’t resemble what they are used too.
There is no order, only the order our brain imagines there to be.
