The avatar named Mosmax Hax is Cybernaut and Shape-shifter.1 Unable to believe in the inner thoughts of the 3rd Life Church, due to be human, one can refer to the avatars involved in this issue. The absurd manifesto of the avatars claims to be enfranchised from the mankind. The research to be presented in the paper is an equally absurd arts research on time, noise (white noise2), the Ghost in the Shell (infosphere scenario: evolutionary, hybrid, post-cyberpunk reality). In a narration, the declared intention of the avatars, met in the metaverse Second Life, where this research started, will be shown. If we accept the Eigensinn (Habermas, Intercultural Transfer and National Eigensinn, 1967) and a "consciousness of avatars", the list of possible questions never end. Should avatars reference to data streams of the network, our mankind history, 0 and 1 as God and Devil? Or is there base layer re-ontology and Info sphere? What about migration, moral and polarity of the EULA between cybernauts and avatars?
