Zen
by
None of the android successors of humanity recall the invention of zen, but installed in the forehead of each is a single enlightenment button and a single anti-enlightenment, aka unlightenment, button. Press the former, and the android will be enlightened for ever and ever. The latter, and the android can never become enlightened. Ever.
The real bitch of it all is that the buttons are unmarked and visibly entirely indistinguishable. And like every android, eventually gets to the point in his life when he says “what the fuck,†presses one of the buttons, and waits.
And waits.
And waits.
