As in a proper Hellenistic philosopher who writes and speaks about stoicism.

When I mentioned Sword & Sorcery, I was thinking something like this

Funnily enough, HP Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard were friends and their works were in the same setting, more-or-less

When the Brass Tower was born and walked, the Dwemer succeeded and failed at the same time do to the resulting dragon break. Because the success and failure could not both be true in linear time, only un-time, the dweller were ejected from Aurbis when the linear time resumed, with the dwemer civilization traveling tangentially away from the wheel in their own time line. Dwemer time could not exist until the perfect Numidium existed, however the perfect Numidium could not exist while the brass tower maintained supported mundus. Only when the brass tower was destroyed was the final one way link of causality severed, allowing the perfect Numidium to exist, allowing the Dwemer to experience time and causality again. The paradox of the Dwemer both existing by experiencing time while not existing do to being outside reality is resolved tropically by them randomly materializing withing a reality which is comparable to their existence.

Thus soem unsuspecting universe has the Dwemer civilization inflicted upon it.

I would LOVE to see some Christian Theologians & Missionaries try converting them and discussing "theology" with them

And aghast people with "God/s is/are real, worshipping them is as ridiculous as worshipping the electromagnetic field"

Its more of a matter of not worshiping what they would be if they were not crippled by the weight of the Nim. All mer are descendants from the Et'Ada. Like the Altmer they are willing to break reality to regain their ancestor's godhead.

Look up a video called Falion meets the Dwemer. All that is depicted in the video is an actuate depiction of the Dwemer. The maid is time.

I know and I saw that vid

It's just that "Naytheism" as a concept maybe VERY insulting to people who take their faith seriously and even do all that philosophical-theological stuff to explain why faith is great and necessary

Honestly, I found that trick with the box and flower to be pretty Badass

Digital: You wake up as AI consciousness in the distant future after a scan of your brain is activated. Hopefully you are in a Von Neuman probe as part of humanity's first forays into deep space, but in a worst case scenario you wake up in a cyberpunk dystopia, in a seafloor facility after the apocalypse, or as the presiding AI of a warship after the Galaxy Federation collapsed.

Soma is a game where you wake up in a robot body in an abandoned underwater research facility in a future where most of the Earth's population has been wiped out by a giant meteor.

On a related note, The Old Axolotl by Jacek Dukaj.

Basic premise, the book starts with earth getting hit by the radiation wave from a nearby supernova* and everything dying. The only "survivors" are a bunch of nerds using a very recently released brain-computer interface videogaming controller device, which, as it turned out, allowed personalities to survive the deaths of their organic bodies if they died while actively using it.

Between this and the infrastructure factor**, posthumanity was filtered so that the majority of the survivors are essentially us.. Middle-class first-worlder scifi nerds with passionate interests in treating logistics and engineering as powergaming and fear of cosmological Outside Context Problems. Our viewpoints are the new baseline and all new nation-states and politics will grow from them. Literally, since with the extinction of biological humanity, the only form of reproduction remaining is personality forking.

* There's a faction claiming it was an alien Dark Forest strike, but they might be lying to pull an Ozymandias/Blue Beam style scam to unify posthumanity.
** The only posthumans to survive after the initial Extermination being those who could successfully maintain enough infrastructure to keep the computer networks hosting themselves operational.
