The Cost of Free Will: Free-Information Mandates, the Cosmic Zoo Hypothesis, and Archiving the Subreddit Audit
In this profound concluding exchange, user CookieStarBurst explores the darker philosophical implications of the golden ratio, comparing the “Zoo Hypothesis” of human confinement to how humanity systematically cages and harvests pigs. Recognizing that a caged animal develops a vastly distorted perception of reality compared to its free brothers, they praise the subreddit’s insights but question why its world-altering information remains strictly confined to a single corner of Reddit. Reptiliandude responds with an absolute mandate regarding his upcoming departure: any book compiled by moderator garbotalk from his posts must be distributed online entirely free of charge. He laments humanity’s deep conditioning to only value what carries a financial cost, comparing modern systemic greed to how corrupt historical empires bastardized the selfless martyrdom of Jesus Christ to build massive financial empires.
As the audit concludes, Reptiliandude reveals he now possesses surrogate authority to review the forum’s history for cosmic archiving, warning that the subreddit’s doors may soon be locked while promising garbotalk they will remain in touch off-site. CookieStarBurst beautifully synthesizes the experience by using a video game developer metaphor, explaining that the ultimate Creator (“The One”) can only truly evaluate the coded limits of reality by diving inside the simulation to play-test it directly. Empowered by the architecture of the forum, the community resolves to look beyond their terrestrial cages, seek broader universal truths, and ensure this unfiltered repository of living information remains freely accessible to all who dare to look.

CookieStarBurst:
/u/reptiliandude Thanks for the reads.
I enjoy the thought of how the [fibonacci ratio](http://www.maths.surrey.ac.uk/hosted-sites/R.Knott/Fibonacci/fib.html) provides a meaningful representation of something that all levels of experience and life can draw from. I have recently started examining the growth patterns in [plant life](https://proxy.duckduckgo.com/iur/?f=1&image_host=http%3A%2F%2Fslideplayer.com%2F5867573%2F18%2Fimages%2F10%2FFibonacci%2BNumbers%2Band%2BPlants.jpg&u=http://slideplayer.com/slide/5867573/18/images/10/Fibonacci+Numbers+and+Plants.jpg), and it is rather beautiful how each plant follows a unique body following this idea.
It is also scary to put that ratio onto our own actions. Humans have abused other humans as means of labor production, and as warriors for their armies, [slaves](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery). Humans cage, and pen [animals](https://www.animalaid.org.uk/the-issues/our-campaigns/animal-farming/) that they consider inferior, or marketable for harvesting. Humans can easily fathom the idea of other species, on this ‘planet’ or on other worlds for those forms are already present. Humans have found large creatures like whales, and creatures that require microscopes to see. Humans can fathom alien, non-terrerstial life just like any other animal.
If there are other animals, on different planets, then eventually one species would become the apex, the dominant species on the world. Aliens can view humans just a [human can view a pig](https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2003/oct/19/foodanddrink.animalwelfare). Pigs are used to re-produce skin for humans, organs for humans, etc…
If there are other intelligent dominating species on other planets, then they too could do and practice this same history. If what you claim is true, that humans are harvested, then the golden ratio can be applied in that manner too where we, my fellow creatures, [are in a cage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo_hypothesis), and harvested by a creature that believes us to be inferior or marketable.
What then of the same animal in a cage versus its brother who roams free, outside the perception inside the bars, and cage? The two would come to vastly different conclusions based on their experiences, and viewpoints, and perception of and on life. I feel that life reflects its environment, so what becomes relevant in the environment is only what can be perceived in that environment. A species surrounded in love, will know and share love. A creature grown in conflict, will only know, and share conflict.
Perhaps I have some disbelief this sub exists for something outside an idea for a book. I could easily be swayed, I don’t hover around a fence at the idea of alien life, I’m busy looking out in the field for them. I don’t think much about ‘free will’ because my actions are determined by what I do, and how I do it in my own individuality as a form of life expression. I am curious, I am creative.
I’d be very interested in the religion of the Assembly. I have come to a fair conclusion of how God structured the universe, and am very eager to hear other perspectives on this idea in particular, but I won’t post that in this mountain of text.
Thanks again for the content, however there is this old adage, don’t believe everything you read on the internet, but there seems to be a line of non-sense, and facts that can be followed on the internet. Information can be spread and shared very easily on the internet, so false facts can spread just as easily has hard truths. My biggest complaint about this subreddit, is it only exists on this subreddit, I haven’t found any references outside, no other attempts to spread this sub’s information, and I find that very curious given how easy it is to crosspost across communities on reddit.
I think if u/reptiliandude contributes anything to life, its the reminder that there are forces outside ones own control, but that control can always be reached for and grabbed at.
I’m left with more questions than answers after everything I’ve read on this subreddit, and I don’t know what to do with them beside ask my fellow humans, do you believe in aliens? or do you believe in god? and then explain my perspective on them and try to understand their answers.
reptiliandude (Admin): Any book that Garbotalk puts together from these posts of mine is to be offered online, free of charge. My only regret is that humans have been conditioned to not ascribe a value to anything that does not have a cost to it. This is disquieting. I will never understand this about people… Your own incarnation of the One who was crucified at Golgotha didn’t even carry his own money… Soldiers cast lots for his only possession of value which was a cloak his mother gave him… And yet, His martyrdom was used as a bastardized tool to harvest coin from the gullible and to build financial empires for reprehensible and wicked men. Please, do not allow the same thing to happen to this information which I have given you here. If there are those who by nature of their conditioning will refuse to access this information without some unnecessary and trivial token being passed along, I will examine it and know. I will then consider petitioning for a redress for just cause. But I am not permitted to benefit financially from my role as an auditor. So, I wash my hands of this and what you do with it. Your currency is your own.
garbotalk (Moderator): It shall be done.
reptiliandude (Admin): Good. As a surrogate I now possess the authority for a review of these posts for archival purposes. We shall remain in touch off site. You will know me when I contact you. But the fate of this subreddit remains in a state of flux.
garbotalk (Moderator): Give me at least a few days notice before you leave us here and lock the doors. I want to save it.
explorer1357: You mean theres still a chance for you to stay?
CookieStarBurst:
Apologies for the poor formatting on my post, was annoying to read without the hyperlinks working correctly.
I find the comparision of ‘God’ or The One to a video game developer very helpful in understanding it. The developer can set up the game in anyway for the final experience, the end game to be gotten too, so every player can develop their own way of playing, however eventually the players come to a point where their own individual style doesn’t work unless the founding principles of the game are followed. The One set up everything, and an intelligent species can recognize these patterns, and codes then act on them. The developer can code certain actions, and abilities, but can only test those as a player.
Jesus, if he was the incarnation of The One, had a terrible play test. A game developer can only experience the game as a player, not as a developer. For God to come into the universe would be the same for the game developer to sit inside a computer! So to understand the experience The One structured and coded his experience to be that of the game, to get an understanding of how everything was at the time.
I hate how history is lost every day, and with each day we get a little further from the whole truth on views, ideas, and cultures, long past.
I accept that you are not asking for anything other than our attention, and I have had 2 views on this subreddit from the moment I began reading; If everything on here is true, then everyone else is wasting their time not reading it! If everything on here is just a fabrication, then I am wasting my time reading here! However, I have gained a lot of insight into the ways humans have behaved, and how they think. I really am grateful for the posts made by both /u/reptiliandude and /u/garbotalk.
I’m motivated to act on this information, to question larger, and seek broader answers. To see beyond the scope of things, and appreciate what I can perceive, because even in the end we rejoin as One being of all things back into the whole. It is scary to think that another primate species would cage, and harvest others, but then I can also understand how a pig in a cage for its whole life, its mother’s whole life will know fear, horror, and perceive so little of the world.
The hard part, for more advance civilizations, is recognizing the potential for another species, but being limited to act in the best intention for the less advance first needs to sort itself out, and stop the in-fighting. The more advance can come demonstrate the ways of its kind, and the ways of life it has found and established, but the lesser will be resistant to accept this information for it can barely trust itself. So the advance species is limited in its actions.
I can’t recall any post where you say beside answering the beacon we could draw the attention of the Assembly. I know we have the attention of our captors, but there is always a bigger fish, it just takes time for it to find the smaller one, and sometimes it does not it eat, but instead (lends aid to it)[https://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_a_shark-_riding_fish].
