To the Zenth Degree

In the beginning was darkness. But if there was no one there to see, or not see the darkness, was it really dark? On the other hand, if there was no one there, who would have spun the clever koan? So in the beginning there was dark. Then came light. Which cleared a few things up. Particularly after eyes and observers and koan-spinners were added to the mix.

Now, the darkness was a little pissed off, because it used to have everything its own way. And then along comes this "light" stuff and starts cutting in on the action, right? But light was awfully popular with all the things that had eyes. Darkness couldn't ignore that. What was an absence of visibility to do? Ah, it had an idea!

Darkness called a rally at the point where light had first manifested.

"That sun sure hates light," declared darkness. "This is our chance to reclaim the light movement, because darkness is the only legitimate source of light, and all those luminous things have really screwed it up."

If a stone liar bloviated in the media, and people weren't utter morons, would anyone believe him?
