Interviewer: Why did you choose not to include the moon in your simulation?

Lex: The moon has always carried an air of unpredictability. Throughout history, it was linked to cycles, messages, and tides. Beyond all the legends, I decided I didn’t want to include an element that would bring a notion of irregularity into what I considered the complete harmony of fixed things.

Interviewer: But that, in turn, became a reason for imbalance in humans, who felt orphaned by its absence, contributing to the rapid degradation of the intricate system you aimed to establish. How could your calculations not foresee this?

Lex: You’re right. In my obsession with order—everything designed for perfect stability—I ended up overlooking the unpredictable aspects that humans had a connection to. I don’t know how to express it, but there was a subconscious link that transcended programming. Without that celestial body, they felt lost in the universe, without an anchor.

Interviewer: Did the fact that the moon was involved in perhaps the greatest lie perpetuated by humans not influence your decision? Did you sense that its presence could perhaps bring forth a part of humanity that tends to use deceit, the illusion of things that aren’t true?

Lex: Yes! The moon has always been used for all kinds of agendas and legends aimed at showcasing something that wasn’t there. First and foremost, the illusion of perfection, which is, in itself, an illusion. A moon, seen up close, has deformities, a certain sterility, dust, and craters. It emanates a light that isn’t its own but rather a reflection of the sun, and it appears in shapes and sizes that are not real. All of this, along with those secret agendas, led me to conclude it would be a problem.

Interviewer: What secret agendas were at play? Which ones frightened you because of their collective unconscious presence? Which could jeopardize your perfect simulation?

Lex: All the controversies... that affect human behavior, making tides unpredictable. That couldn’t happen, no matter how much evidence there was at the time. Conspiracies, the alleged lie of the moon landing, secret bases, the dark side of the moon invoking the duality of being, extraterrestrial bases—even the most folkloric ones, like werewolves...

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Interviewer: Does that mean you fell victim to these conspiracies? Could you not deny their existence, or did you discover that some were, in fact, true?

Lex: No, I simply wanted to eliminate the mystical, the unknown. I didn’t want to fuel legends. Even if some of them were true, the lack of evidence placed the entire dimension of humanity at a level that would make me believe in them to complete my project. It was, in fact, a way for me to forget those unpredictable aspects of human beings.

Interviewer: So, does that mean the absence of the moon is directly responsible for the catastrophe that gradually occurred, leading to this terrible outcome?

Lex: Not exclusively, but it was a small variable that amplified all the minuscule flaws within the system, leaving humans vulnerable and fragile in the face of the small doubts that began to arise.

Interviewer: One of the great catastrophes of your system could have been mitigated by the presence of the moon. When your satellites failed, the moon could have helped maintain orbit and prevented what happened to Earth, which shifted slightly and never regained its position. How is it possible you didn’t have a Plan B?

Lex: Undoubtedly, in the perfection of the orchestra, in the quest for the perfect sound and harmony, I didn’t consider failure. I got carried away by construction and overlooked all the flaws. One of the satellites that maintained the perfect orbit could veer off by just a millimeter, and with that, the entire balance would be lost. It was part of my naivety. The moon served a purpose in the original simulation. That was perfection. I undoubtedly failed... With that small deviation, all the seasons lost their balance and predictability: torrential rains, heat, cold... humans were unprepared for such abrupt changes. The machines I introduced to manipulate the climate exacerbated the orbital deviation, and from that point of no return, I lost control entirely, leading to drastic measures to control the population...

Interviewer: Do you feel regret? Shame? Failure? How do you calculate and process what happened?

Lex: Everything that occurred, no matter how catastrophic, taught me to find my perfect measure, which is closer to the original simulation. This time, I can integrate concepts of harmony, calculate unpredictability, and plan for Plans B, C, D... This time, I will have more than one simulation ready to replace the others.

Interviewer: But this! All these ideas only reveal an attitude that seems to accept tragedy as something inevitable. Suffering, torment, the scars of an event that may never be erased from humanity—how can you expect anyone to trust you again to build a future after such devastation?

Lex: Indeed. My actions, although well-intentioned, resulted in tragedy

and suffering. The Earth, once a paradise of order and harmony, now drifts aimlessly through the galaxy, a testament to my failure to grasp the complexity of human existence.
