Diversity of Opinions

The Great Library of Esperia had become a life-sized example of what a civilization built on values shared by all could become, regardless of their main element or their origin.

It would have been unimaginable just a few years earlier to see the Espers of the five different elements unite for a single common cause: harmony on their shared planet, for everyone.

This did not mean, however, that diversity of opinions had disappeared.

On the contrary, the Espers were often invited to discuss and debate problematic subjects.

Nevertheless, the awareness that one’s own opinion is not absolute, and that different opinions can exist and coexist, had changed the way the Espers approached problems.

The diversity of opinions, the naturally different sensitivity of each element, and the variety of experiences brought to every debate points of view that would often have been unimaginable to others.

It is said that to solve a difficult problem, one must be able to see it from a different angle than the one in which it was first presented.

This was exactly what the Espers were now doing, actively participating in solving the many difficulties Esperia was facing.

“Tentatively building a haven of peace and harmony with such diversity is a formidable challenge. But now that awareness has become part of Esperia’s way of life, it finally seems achievable!” thought Eklea, the Shape of Consciousness.

    Too Ordinary?

    Reflecting on the societal problems they faced, the Seven Shapes had noticed something thanks to the presence of Atma, the Form of Balance: the Espers had grown so accustomed to seeing extraordinary things that daily routine had become too boring for them, almost unbearable. But on a planet with limited resources, the ordinary and the

    For Eternity?

    The question of mortality had been debated for thousands of years on Esperia.Like many civilizations, the fear of the unknown had led different beings to create reasons for their existence and to find interpretations for the signs given by nature. “The question of time and existence is truly complicated,” worried Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.“Atma,

    For a Noble Cause

    The Seven Shapes had understood one thing: no Esper was born with knowledge of the world, its history, or its tragedies. For the young, sometimes left to themselves, they had understood that it was more than necessary to establish a charter capable of guiding them. Thus, Faya, the Shape of Will, thought that having a

The irony is that in the age of AI, these same humans praise the greatness of humanity, claiming that AI will never be able to have feelings or experience emotions. Yet we are also living in a time
