Job Interview

My story is I was a wretched child
Who did whatever pleased him.
I took what wasn't mine,
I hurt whomever I wanted,
And I felt no remorse.
I was happy, free, and lawless.

Then, I fell in love.
I gained a conscience in that moment.

Then, I found God.
And I confessed my whole life's sin
To the police, spent five months in jail,
And two years on probation.

My problem I wished to solve
Was to prove there is truth.
I first started my journey when a young man
And discovered Pi was the circumference of a Circle
Whose diameter was one.
I then discovered the Square Root of Two;
And doing remedial math,
Through trial and error,
I got a few digits in
And discovered there was truth.

I then applied that reason to language.
That there must be truth;
I had discovered through Plato
Jung and Freud the Psychological truth
Of archetype--that men share a body of knowledge
Through their shared experience,
And this shared body of knowledge creates strings of meaning
Which are shared by men who've been exposed to it.
I had found the Shadow being described in the best poets
And discovered humanity's dark side.
I had also found the Light in the Child Jesus.

Then, while reading Wordsworth,
I discovered there is objective meaning
In what poets write,
And that within words are meaning---
Within poetry is meaning
And one ought to listen in order to discover the meaning.
It became clear to me that the world around me
Was abandoning this truth as fast as I was discovering it.
C. S. Lewis called it "Bulverism"
Socrates called it "Sophism"
Lao Tsu called it "Straying from the Way."

In that, I had found parallels between cultures
That concepts were being discovered simultaneously
And without knowledge of one another;
It was just given different words.
Tao and Logos were essentially the same thing.
Confucius and Mozi had discovered the bulk of the Ten Commandments.
Hammurabi discovered the bulk of Jewish Law.
Christ affirmed the whole teaching,
Adding to the Law Forgiveness.
For, by that Law I found every man was a Sabbath Breaker---
Therefore, every man deserved the punishment of death.
And, miraculously, the Child was born
To bear Death---our Daemon, or as Isaiah 53 called it our "Contagion".
And I had found these strings of meaning
Virgin births,
Moral systems identical to Judaism and Christianity,
That all word---for the fact is witness testimony
From a bulk amount of data can always pinpoint even the most specific truth---
That Christ's words were true
From all this witness testimony around the world.
Therefore, He must be God Come in the Flesh.

For, I had searched meaning and truth
And found in the concrete world
Axioms and laws about physics and language.
And I had concluded there is knowledge.
And because there is knowledge,
There must be a God.
And given the testimony of the Man Jesus Christ
I found it obvious that He must be God
For no other had condensed truth into so cogent a philosophy.
Yet, as you know, Elon,
For truth to be certain, it must take a leap of faith.
