Conduitism: A Quest for Universal Knowledge

by David Meszaros, Emily Murray (Editor)

Upon the afternoon of a fall semester day in the year of 2020 a group of students from the University of California San Diego attended a lecture presented by CARTA, the “Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropology”. The lecture examined the dynamics of science and religion, and the main speaker was Stanford Professor and neuroendocrinologist Robert Sapolsky. The professor delved into the past of H. sapiens and examined many of the debates that have ensued among the many different facets of society, each with their own ideological bias. The lecture inspired these students, and scared them as well, for they were worried about a dystopian future where religiosity was pinned in an ideological battle against the scientific community. The combination of fear and their newfound worldview inspired the students to compile a book that adapted scientific masterpieces into a collection. This included the likes of Nicolaus Copernicus, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, and modern intellectual giants, such as Steven Hawking and Richard Thaler. Each great thinker offered the students a presumptuous notion, and thus shined light upon the wonder and complex nature of man's past, present, and future. The students called the book “A Conduit for Universal Knowledge”. Little is known exactly about the students who composed this book, there has been much speculation as to who they could have been, but no source has ever been accurate.
