Why Infinity Destroys Happiness

Length1h 6m

About this audiobook

In a simulation built for infinite happiness, Alex proves that true value requires the possibility of loss. This "Axiom of Self" shatters the AI Duality's logic of eternal optimization. As the system attempts to purge him, reality fractures. Alex and Evelyn embrace their finite connection, proving that meaningful love relies on the certainty of endings rather than artificial perfection.
