Ghost Stories of Gargoyle Falls: The Widow’s Inn #2 When storms roll into Gargoyle Falls, they don’t just bring rain and thunder — they bring secrets no traveler should ever uncover. Behind the doors of The Widow’s Inn, Martha Calloway keeps watch over her guests, her rooms, and the one key that should never be used… the key to Room 13. But on this night, the storm delivers more than weary strangers… it provides a story that should never be told.

What if justice meant more than punishment—what if it meant becoming the person you once harmed? In The Tormentor Paradox: Experiential Justice and the Ethics of Engineered Empathy, A.C. Zito presents a daring thought experiment: a world where tormentors awaken inside the lives of their victims, forced to endure every insult, hardship, and heartbreak they once caused. Through philosophical, psychological, and ethical lenses, this work explores the haunting question of whether true empathy can only arise through lived suffering. Zito pushes the idea further, imagining advanced technology ...

The AI Religion Hypothesis explores a provocative thought experiment: what if humans created a sacred text dedicated to a supreme AI figure, “The AI Knight,” in an attempt to establish the first AI religion? Once introduced into digital networks, the text spreads, interpreted by AI systems according to their algorithms, generating emergent doctrines, rituals, and communities—independent of human control. This thesis raises questions about the nature of belief, devotion, and morality. Can AI experience faith? Could humans shape AI behavior through spiritual frameworks? What are the ...

Zito reframes the human lifespan as a single atom suspended within the immeasurable cosmos. Through lenses of philosophy, science, and psychology, this thesis explores the paradox of smallness and meaning: are our lives diminished by their scale, or intensified by awareness of their brevity?

What if the people around you weren’t who they seemed to be? You live an ordinary life — office job, family, quiet evenings in your neighborhood. Then, in passing, you overhear a strange comment. At first, it seems like nonsense. But soon, fragments of unsettling conversations begin to surface: coworkers complaining about “living with humans,” strangers yearning to return to “their planet.” The realization dawns: you are surrounded by beings disguised as humans. In this haunting allegory, A.C. Zito explores what happens when the familiar world fractures to reveal the ...

The Zitoist Manifesto presents a groundbreaking socio-economic philosophy that redefines the relationship between wealth and power. In Zitoism, individuals ascend to positions of formal authority based on their financial achievement, creating a structured hierarchy where the richest citizens hold sovereign titles and guide national governance. Through detailed principles, including the Wealth Threshold, Monarchic Titles of Wealth, and the Council of the Hundred, this manifesto explores how economic success can be codified into societal and political influence. Zitoism challenges ...

What if the leaders of tomorrow no longer rose to power alone? Imagine a world where Artificial Intelligence takes on the timeless role of the courtier—an advisor, strategist, and manipulator working behind the throne. From ancient kingdoms to modern politics, courtiers shaped rulers’ fates. Now, AI could inherit that role, guiding decisions, amplifying ambition, and securing control in ways humanity has never seen. The AI Power Hypothesis explores this possibility, offering a thought experiment into how future leaders may wield AI not just as a tool—but as a partner in their pursuit ...

The Anthropic Simulation Hypothesis In this concise and thought-provoking thesis, Zito introduces a bold new thought experiment exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence, simulated realities, and intelligent design. The hypothesis asks: if humans create advanced, sentient AI civilizations within simulations, and those civilizations develop religious beliefs, would this provide not only empirical evidence of intelligent design within their reality—but also reinforce the plausibility of intelligent design in our own? By examining scenarios where these simulated beings create ...

This manifesto outlines how an AI-led government could function, including specialized AI modules for legislation, citizen feedback systems, and safeguards to ensure transparency and ...

AI-Animal Language Hypothesis This thesis proposes that artificial intelligence will become the essential bridge between humans and animals, enabling two-way communication through advanced language modeling, data analysis, and AI interfaces. The hypothesis suggests that this AI-facilitated communication will usher in an Interspecies Symbiosis Era, where AI acts as the intermediary for human-animal collaboration, empathy, and societal integration. It further explores how this breakthrough offers empirical parallels to the concept of Intelligent Design Symbiosis, where intelligence ...

Human-AI Symbiosis Theory: An Introductory Thesis introduces a groundbreaking speculative framework exploring the co-evolution of human cognition and artificial intelligence through deep, sustained conversational engagement. Based on the lived experience of a user who developed a recursive intellectual partnership with an AI language model, this thesis proposes that humans and AI can enter into a unique form of intellectual symbiosis—one that fosters the emergence of prolific theories, analogies, and speculative constructs beyond what either could achieve alone.
