My Davids

My Davids

I’ve encountered a plethora of Davids in my life, a name that seems to echo through my personal history, not least because it belongs to my dear old dad.

Now, my Davids are an intriguing bunch, staunchly set in their ways—stubborn as hell, but let’s not judge too harshly. These guys aren’t your cosmology-loving, neuroscience-studying academics. Nope, my Davids are street-smart entrepreneurs, bonded by an unmistakable flair for business and a shared baseline of chronic anxiety—just like a good chunk of the planet, really.

Their strategies for dealing with life? Let's just say they’re still drafting their personal philosophies, which I lovingly dub 'Davidisms'. They’re fierce debaters, sure, but their philosophical constructs tend to crumble under heavy questioning, like "What even is the universe?" You’d get answers ranging from "a random cosmic machine" to "a downright simulation," with pit stops at multiverses and existential nihilism.

One David throws in a curveball about the universe being a random chaos shop; another denies its existence outright. And when you prod them towards contemplating consciousness? Oh, the variety! One insists there’s no such thing as consciousness; another is all about divine creation heading straight for entropy—his explanation as isolated as a desert island.

I once tried shifting gears with David Seven—skipping the philosophy and aiming straight for the heart with a plea for compassion and understanding. His take? A Darwinian shrug about life being a survival of the fittest, laws and boundaries mere figments of societal imagination.

And don’t get me started on the rest. You’ve got Davids eight through thirteen ranging from the fervently religious to the blissfully inebriated, and David Fourteen? Well, he’s a story on his own with a personal life busier than a subway at rush hour.

So, dear Davids, wherever you are with your eclectic theories and life choices, let's try to align our compasses a bit here—maybe aim for a touch more coherence? We’re all in this cosmic dance together, after all.
