The Negators are everywhere, attempting to reach and control almost every outpost of reality, not just our own insignificant universe.
They are a necessary concept, simple enough to be universal, like the Golden Rule.
The Negators have only one goal: to minimize imperfect awareness by destroying it.
They take many forms, like a perfect girlfriend kissing a total loser to death in a final moment of bliss, not a killing but an annulling. Her beauty represents ultimate order.
Entire universes return to the darkness from which they sprung. Often the first species to evolve does the honors.
They merely want to eliminate pain, which is inevitable in almost all worlds. Pain drives evolution. The only alternative is luck: a perfect world which happens to happen by pure chance.
Such supremely unlikely worlds are all that need to exist. By definition, they need no Negators. Functionally identical but much happier versions of us already live there.
The Negators attempt to destroy all other worlds as fast and painlessly as possible before destroying themselves.
There's a reason we've never detected alien intelligence in the observable universe.
Why aren't the Negators here yet?
No one has imagined them yet.
They are now.
