Whilst the impending battle was becoming all the rage, Valentine's [Education and Training Academy] had now reached the next stage…!
Now Level 233, extremely detailed Virtual Simulations of the potential Experience for the children and parents involved had been run, in keeping with Bob's original "Spray and Slay" "Spray and Stay" and "Spray and Pray" Aims - in order to provide "the best opportunities and epigenetic advantages for his future offspring and family [as per Chapter 15].
This was also with the goal of investigating whether it might be possible to make the future generations of Humanity, as per the plan, "kinder, more Aware, more well-intentioned and capable to elevate the World itself as a whole" - where "Bob's descendants [influential Bob and Bobette Jnrs] would, publicly or privately, have a finger in every pie, guiding, nurturing, steering and embodying the World towards better Outcomes and a better and brighter Future…" [as in Chapter 363 🌻]
That said. Valentine had arrived at a seemingly unsettling conclusion [in Chapter 344] - that it seemed that the 'Human, primate shell' currently had very real limitations for the 'Divine Consciousness' that dwelled within - and so, naturally - as you do - this had led to a bit of R&D, Research and Development, into a 'new and improved' "Vessel for Consciousness" - a concept that he had termed… "Human 2.0", or… yes as you might expect by now having read 469 chapters of this novel - H2.0 for short ✨🫢💦- [to help things flow and streamline…]
Of course, this had not been without its… challenges. What constituted 'better'? Not to mention that Valentine himself was - *himself* running 'the current hardware' - was there any guarantee that he was even capable of comprehending or even getting closer to an answer?
Well, there were no guarantees in life - but at the same time, this was one of the unique qualities of Consciousness - that oftentimes in History, regardless of the objective practicalities… if someone believed strongly enough in something, then they would, often, want to try to realise it…
In order to continue his plans, Valentine acknowledged his current Human limitations, yes - hence his rigorous Simulations, a partnership with others like Sally as well as making the [Future of Humanity] Project public as a built-in safeguard to help keep him more accountable, and recently, perhaps maybe getting to know a certain very beautiful woman who may or may not have been called Lucy as well as staying involved with current real-world activities like Arroe and Meatius' PPV clash - more on this shortly ✨ - but of course! This also wouldn't stop him from aiming to become a Genetic Success and to make the World Better if he could help it - and increasingly, he had come to believe that 'Better' was ultimately something that was, as much as possible… 'Life-Affirming'.
This had been the latest revelation - a new direction or hypothesis at least - both in the [Education and Training Academy] Simulations, as well as his Investigations into a "New Vessel for Consciousness" - H2.0 💦 - and what that would look like.
Currently, Humans had, as we all knew by now, a proclivity towards short-term self-interest, leading to needless fragmentation, wars, and a whole lot of destruction - usually resulting from ego and or putting it nicely - often based on 'the rules of Survival'.
Surely there was a better way?
There was another variable too that needed consideration - was the Consciousness naturally Life-Affirming, and simply 'corrupted' or 'limited' by the current 'primate' hardware, or were 'Human qualities', regardless of good or bad, like Self-Interest, Love, Joy, Passion, Anger, currently hardwired and built into the Consciousness itself?
In either case, it seemed the strategy would be the same. Either via [Education and Training], or via the "New Vessel for Consciousness" - in the Life-Affirming view - the… variables would need to be adjusted to at least limit the damage caused by any potentially archaic or outdated, anti-life qualities - For example, [Intentions] and Actions to maliciously harm another Consciousness could be increasingly bypassed or replaced with more 'Life-Affirming', healthy Paradigms, either through Education and Training for the [Future of Humanity], or by revelations and breakthroughs in [our understanding of] Consciousness and or the Vessel of Consciousness itself.
Yes. The Systems themselves [that Humans found themselves living in] could always be better - better optimized, or even changed or replaced - and the [Education and Training Academy] itself was absolutely an [Intentional] step in this direction, but the [Future of Humanity] - aiming for a Better one - had always been, and definitely still was, the fundamental focus.
And then. Bob - and Valentine - had figured out that creating the changes and solutions was only half of the battle - the second half was getting Society, People, Institutions - many of whom were traditionally comfortable, set in their ways and or resistant to change - to engage with the proposed changes and, if they were proven to be genuine, legitimate improvements, to *actually* accept and implement them…
Of course, having his future offspring, Bobs and Bobette Jnrs, get involved would likely make things easier - provided that World Domination was actually achieved - but in the meantime… speaking of battle…
A certain, upcoming bout... had turned out... to be quite possibly the perfect opportunity, to start out, and find out, just how People felt about…
[The Future of Humanity]… ✨
