Maria Karvouni
“Unless humanity invents a device that can expose all the information in the world, there can be no justice, because no human can be a reliable source. Every human can be manipulated trough money, deceit, threats.”
Maria Karvouni, The Impossible Proof Of Knowing Nothing

Maria Karvouni
“Reality is secretly causing a fatal earthquake to your rival neighbor and then send help to them.

Reality is declaring you destroyed a rival balloon that collects communication signals when it is actually yours.

Reality is causing a pandemic and blame your rival for it.”
Maria Karvouni, Reality Is Just A Possible Fantasy
