Perpetuum mobile

There’s an old para­ble: one has become many. It comes from the old scrip­tures and wants to illus­trate an idea of how God cre­ated cos­mos and beings like us. But it doesn’t explain why exactly. We’re left with only some reli­gious and pre-rational assump­tions about it that don’t con­vince any­more. Today we may ask right­fully: what’s wrong in being just one?
