The Last Man Who Knew Everything
Three hundred years ago, it was still possible for an intelligent person to have read all of the books that constituted the whole knowledge base of the world.
Three hundred years ago, most intelligent people in the world believed that the world was a holistic, living organism of some kind, imbued with mind and divinity: matter was alive (hylozoism), or mind was everywhere (panpsychism), or God was involved in everything, everywhere (theism), or God and Nature were one (pantheism). A hundred years later, the world had become immensely specialized and complex, and the world was increasingly viewed by intelligent people as a vast, purposeless, clockwork mechanism. Either there was no God (atheism), or he was an extremely remote God of Rational Laws (deism) and not of revelation and personal salvation.
Leibniz was the last genius to truly know everything and to accept that the universe was an organism rather than a machine. It was a very special type of organism - a mathematical organism.
Leibniz had another secret claim to fame - he was the author of the Illuminati's Grand Unified Theory of Everything based on pure "nothing". He created an entire universe out of a "Big Bang" singularity comprising infinite "monads" (zeros), each with infinite energy capacity.
This is the story of the first mathematical Theory of Everything, which remains valid to this day as the true explanation of reality.
Leibniz's monads have one last, incredible secret to reveal: they are actually souls!
