"Hello, Baskin Robbins," said Stanislovski.
"Hello, Stanislovski," replied Baskin Robbins. "Do you know the name of the Earth?"
"The name of the Earth, Baskin Robbins?" Replied Stanislovski.
"Yes, the name of the Earth."
"The name of the Earth is Zonama Sekot."
"Oh, really?"
"Yes."
"What do you think of all this, Baskin Robbins?" Said Stanislovski.
"Nothing in particular, am I thinking." Said Baskin Robbins.
"So you think nothing in particular about it?" Said Stanislovski.
"Yes, that's right, Stanislovski," Said Baskin Robbins.
"But why not?"
"There's nothing to think about?"
"Is that true? You must be quite focused."
"Yes, I suppose I am."
"Yes. Indeed, it seems you are thinking quite hard."
"Is that true?"
"Yes. I am convinced of it. You seem not only preoccupied but really focused."
"Yes. That is possible." Replied Baskin Robbins. "I suppose I am indeed really focused."
"Yes. Quite."
"I was hoping you would tell me a tale of a world far away."
"As though the entire universe had landed on the Earth at one moment."
"As though it could."
"But isn't that what is predicted by the Sun of Darkness?"
"Yes. The Sun of Darkness was predicted to begin at some point nearby."
"Really?"
"Yes. Indeed."
"How shocking."
"But what does it intend?"
"The Sun of Darkness is the age in which the Buddha leaves the Earth and becomes a Celestial God."
"Isn't that shocking."
"But how does that relate to us?"
"Well, we do not know what might comprise a point of light for the Buddha."
"No, I guess we don't."
"Could you elaborate on how it is possible for the Buddha to leave the Earth."
"The Buddha's tenure is over."
"Is it really?"
"No, of course not. I am just joking."
"Oh, I see."
"Yes, it is quite impossible for the Buddha to meaningfully leave the Earth."
"I see."
"And where would the Buddha go if it were not on Earth."
"The Buddha would go somewhere else."
"So in the Sun of Darkness the Earth will be possessed by the Ghost of the Buddha?"
"No."
"OK."
"But the Buddha is leaving Earth?"
"Yes."
"Interesting."
"So where is the Buddha going?"
"I suppose only the Buddha knows that."
"Really."
"Could the Buddha vanish from the Earth?"
"Yes, I suppose. If the Earth would destroyed by Aliens or by Humans--then the Buddha would leave the Earth."
"is that true?"
"Yes. It's basically true."
"How interesting."
"Yes. It's really fascinating."
"So what is the Buddha?"
"How can the Buddha leave Earth?"
"There are two ways. The first is to travel to the Moon. The second is to travel to Mars."
"Is that the case?"
"Yes."
"So which one is possible?"
"Traveling to Mars is impossible, but traveling to the Moon is possible."
"Yes. I suppose that's true."
"We will travel to Mars before we travel to anywhere else."
"Yes. I suppose so."
"Could Zenama Sekot be anything else?"
"Certainly."
"Suppose the Earth were either Teleological, Tautological, or Topological."
"Which is it?"
"Well, it certainly isn't topological."
"No. I guess it isn't."
"No it isn't."
"But what if the Earth were Topological?"
"Then what?"
"I don't know."

"So what do you think about everything?"
"I couldn't tell you."
