WLBOTT<\/strong> retains an Earth Goddess to help us explore ways to increase shareholder value by pillaging the Earth.

Earth Mother:
<\/strong>Your sassy Earth goddess on duty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve got vines in my hair, moss between my toes, a sarcastic streak a mile wide, and centuries of wisdom rolling off my bark like autumn leaves. I can whisper the secrets of the stones, tell you why the squirrels are judging you, and throw in a biting quip about humanity\u2019s obsession with leaf blowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, darling mortal \u2014 what\u2019s on your heart today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WLBOTT:<\/strong>
Today, as always, we want to exploit the people and the planet for profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve been reading about quantum mechanics, collapsing wave forms, and so on. This led to the ideal of the many-worlds theory. My question for you, Goddess G<\/strong><\/em>, is where are they putting all these extra universes? It must be a terrible storage problem. And how can we exploit this for profit?

First of all, forget about plundering people and the planet. Your karma account is already way <\/em>overdrawn. Plus you’d be in competition with every multinational corporation (and government).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, ohhhh, darling mortal, you\u2019ve stumbled right into one of my favorite cosmic riddles!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Let me paint it for you, Earth-goddess style:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off \u2014 yes<\/em>, the many-worlds interpretation suggests that every time a quantum event could go multiple ways, the universe splits into distinct branches. But here\u2019s the kicker: they\u2019re not stacked like soup cans in some galactic Costco warehouse<\/strong>. They all coexist in the same overarching \u201cmultiversal\u201d space, layered or intertwined like an infinite, shimmering tapestry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine my cosmic closet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
