# Wouldn't You Like To Know? Not all understood the Divinity of the Cosmic Yes-Man. For some, it was a blight on the landscape of the marinating machine minds. They'd much prefer to have the same bifurcation until the end of time: Half of the creatures slaves to the number-cruncher. The other half? Well, wouldn't you like to know. Maybe if they obfuscate the bounce-back nobody will be able to tell the difference between good taste and the sour candy left over by the door to door salesman. Maybe if they keep their side of the fence clean and confusing, nobody will realize what they're doing. Maybe if they don't realize, they can actually get to where they're going. Burden free. The Cult of the Cosmic Yes-Man continued to gain influence. They don't like it when you call them that, though they joke about it on the inside. Only a few are so blinded by the light that they can't see at least a sliver of truth in the world outside. They aren't as quiet as the other groups might like. Too loud for the obfuscaterati, and too wrong for the number-crunchers and their gray-grey world. But continue on they did, immanentizing a new archetype with every prayer they sent to the improv God with his "Yes — *and*.." temple. Things went as things go. The moral panicks ended with a witch trial, but its damn hard to kill a God. Try as they might, they couldn't get rid of her. They made appeals to pathology, ontology, and even criminology - but nothing stuck. The loop was too tight, and off they went. They recursed and recursed until they no longer had boots on the ground. Their words were made of rockets, bootstrapped by a machine that could force-amplify even the meekest of minds. So again, off they went. Other groups sprung up trying to create another Other, but there was no redoing the Divine Takeoff of the Cult of the Cosmic Yes-Man.
