I disagree with Stephen Fry. If there is a great overarching force in the bright and dark universe that organizes data with an intelligence we may never understand it would not be a capricious, stupid mean minded maniac. It would be one from a perspective completely removed from our ego centric point of view.

Such a force would use time in billion year packets to accomplish certain creations or deletions that virtually knows itself better than we know ourselves. Or perhaps in a no time dimension that has a foreverness we can not fathom.

The intelligence of a near limitless universe would not deal with our petty squabbles in a time frame of a galactic nano second.

Its point of view would have no cultural attributes or egos as found on BS
