>>12121719I'm four beers in rn, so take the following with a grain of salt.
A few possibilities:
His country will arrest him pretty much instantly and imprison him in a government facility to do tests on him. No matter how liberal a country claims to be, they will not give up the opportunity to monopolize something like that, lest other countries beat them to the punch.
And remember, he's just the Principle Observer, he doesn't have any special powers that can resist arrest. His only power is just observing lol.
Then, religious people and physicists all over the world will claim he is the messiah and must be released.
A few radicals will try to kill him, and obviously fail since it's physically impossible to end his consciousness.
Whether he's released or not is irrelevant since no government can last longer than an entity like the Principle Observer. Eventually, the institution will just die out or make a mistake and he'll be free. It's just a waiting game.
Moreover, there will be many "non-believers" but they won't dare to do anything because you really don't want to antagonize an immortal, even if he's bed ridden. Even an invalid can kill you eventually with just some emails if you wait long enough.
The end stage seems obvious though: society will eventually get used to his existence and he'll get too narcissistic until he's almost like an Alex Jones type character, but homeless and drunk all the time. People will just be walking in the city streets and just avoiding him and his rants as if it's an everyday occurrence.
