Hi Stew, I really enjoyed reading your post. Question: Should the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs be considered a content creator? I don't suppose hominid content creators would have evolved otherwise.

Gotta agree with Keith here. I think that big piece of rock hitting our rock was put in motion by creator 1... Or is it 2? Or is that rock it's own? Such to ponder

Such a creative metaphor! So many origin stories attribute it all to just one supreme being; it was interesting to credit three distinct creators. I really appreciate how the piece ends with a simple walk by the creek. After all the complexity of the universe and life, that scene feels like a good answer in itself—sunlight, water moving over stones, and a moment to notice it. That's a form of content creation in and of itself, is it not?

Lovely characterization, Stew. I have to say your style of writing has matured quite a bit and is so refreshingly different from so much else on substack. I almost look forward to Thursdays.
