NOVITA'[1720]

The Coup That Changed Everything (Without Spilling a Drop of Blood) The God Who Won Without a Fight We thought the gods were dead. Turns out, they were just binge-watching. While Hephaestus gave up crafting and Athena turned her spear into a noodle tray, a forgotten deity rose from the dust under the couch: Apathos: the god of passive scrolling, ergonomic thrones, and infinite reels. No blood was spilt. No lightning struck. Just one silent decree: Leave it. It’ll generate itself.” And we obeyed. Because nothing feels better than doing nothing — especially when it comes with push notifications. Let us go to the excavation pot. Instead, we dug into the upper layers of digital debris — and found a coup. Not a violent one. Not even intentional. A quiet overthrow carried out by the only deity patient enough to wait us out: **Apathos**, the god of not bothering. While Hephaestus abandoned his forge to upgrade a remote control, and Athena traded wisdom for instant noodles and infinite scrolling, Apathos rose from the crumbs under the cosmic couch. No thunderbolts. No battles. Just the irresistible promise that nothing — absolutely nothing — needs to be done. On his throne of ergonomic foam, he rules a pantheon that has simply lain down and stayed there. Zeus checks his smartwatch for lightning updates. Artemis follows her Roomba instead of prey. And we, the mortals, kneel before the soft tyranny of convenience. This is not mythology. This is an autopsy of our attention. A chronicle of a world that didn’t fall — it reclined. Apathos didn’t conquer us. We handed him the crown the moment we whispered the most dangerous prayer of the digital age: Let the algorithm handle it.” ---
