I present a thinking question.
So, if one day, a omnipotent being descends down from an unknown location and demands that you pick one of two things:
1. A world without laws or rules - complete chaos and disorder, but complete freedom - not even the laws of physics or common perception apply. Life and death don't exist. When something goes up, it doesn't always come back down. In fact, "up" doesn't even exist. There's no gravity, no rules whatsoever... Heck, we don't even have form. Paradox world!
2. A world where laws and complete order reign supreme. There is no privacy and you must conform to a given standard. Everyone and everything is the same. Imperfections are a thing of the past. There are no questions - nothing is left unexplained. You can do whatever you want... As long as you follow the rules. It's 1984 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four) all over again!
Your decision will change the world to match the description completely.
You are then told you can't pick neither, or some of both, but you must decisively designate your preference to one of the two. You also cannot die before making your choice and you cannot prolong your decision. Remember that /everything/ follows a law - nothing is exempt from the changes you will cause.
What will it be? Discuss why too.
