I have two things in my mind:
People. How much we want to be voyeurs. How my friend S follows random people on Snapchat (long story, will be expanded) and actually enjoys their daily snaps.
The second one is about people and their hopes for love. How I feel(felt?) bad about rejecting people who don't know I exist and will never find out what I did. It's funny, but also sad in little ways. I want to expand on this more. People's lives compressed into what, 200 words?, and six goddamn photos don't mean a goddamn thing, but neither does a look across the bar. But people don't really meet in bars do they? These things will be pondered upon in this post when I have the time. I need to go to bed because I need to get up early.
New source of energy discovered!
Scientists have always known that there are forces that are unknowable. Forces whose affect can be felt, powers whose influence can be observed, but whose source is mysterious.
It was only in the thirtieth year of Raja Somnath's reign that scientists of Sohanpur were able to harness the power of one of such mysterious forces. The power of beginner's luck had always been observed and understood, but no one had ever imagined it could be used to create energy and power out of literally nowhere.
Beginner's Luck, for those below the third-grade science level, is the mysterious force that conspires to somehow make any new players/users of a new game or system be victorious more often than their skill level would otherwise suggest. How is it, for example, that Rishi Sh, having played the game of Chess consistently for over twenty years, was beaten everytime by those that were just introduced to the basic moves of the game How could it be possible that those who weren't even sure if half the moves they made were valid, would beat the intellect that had amused itself by playing the game against itself for an entire month, just to learn the basic rules? No, it was against all known laws of nature; it could be only explained as a supernatural force, and further exploration into it lead to Sohanpur being able to tame this mysterious power.
All new technologies are first used for military purpose. The military geniuses of the court knew that such powers, if tamed by their armies, would give the state a considerable edge over its adversaries in the battlefield.
