DWaaron = DWuniv - DWothers - DWgod
Aaron is me. Univ is the universe. Others is people who are not me. God is God. DW
is the change in weirdness of:
Thus, this equation reads:
My change in weirdness is equal to the change in weirdness of the universe minus the change in weirdness of other people minus the change in weirdness of God. To sum up, my change in weirdness is the change in weirdness of the universe minus the change in weirdness of everything in the universe that are not me.
God's change in weirdness is zero. This is because the concept of God has been so thoroughly explored that nothing new can be learned about God. Thus, God's weirdness cannot change. The equation can now be simplified:
DWaaron = DWuniv - DWothers
Now, the weirdness of the universe is increasing, as more and more is discovered about it each day that is weird and that no one understands. Because weirdness is relative (if you compare the weirdness of the universe to the weirdness of any individual person, that person seems less weird), as the universe increases in weirdness, the weirdness of each individual person goes down in comparison.
Thus, the equation is
DWaaron = (+) - (-)
This means that my weirdness is increasing at a rate faster than that of the universe. At some point then, I will overtake the universe in weirdness. When this happens, I hypothesize that I will become the universe.
