Well, from my point of view, the Jedi are evil the female attraction in the extreme is insane. (I won't quote the specifics, but you can check out some of the more out-there fanfiction on the web to see what I'm hinting at). You say thinking a flap of flesh is important is trippy, but that's not really much different from thinking food or water are important. Isn't it just weird and kind of gross how digestion works, if you look at it through a lens?


You describe intense seriousness and urgency, and I fail to see how women wanting lavish marriages and being bridal carried to bed and less tame things aren't serious and urgent. Do you just pretend you're serious about enjoying them while in your mind there's "heeheehee" on loop?

I recall reading about awake brain surgery experiments where interacting with certain parts of the brain produced phenomena in the consciousness, as reported by the person having their brain prodded with electrodes. That seems like a straightforward case of pointing to gears and doing gear things with them.


Now, there hasn't been to my knowledge any proof of reliably producing very specific effects or decisions. This doesn't look like as knock-down a deboonk of materialism as opponents of materialism seem to think, to me. If you take a soldering iron to your PC's CPU and RAM, you won't be able to do anything useful either, yet we do know PCs are material and, barring the occasional bit-flip by radiation, deterministic/mechanistic.

To give without restraint does not warrant taking without restraint; that should be obvious to anyone without terminal legalism of the brain. Retvrnist rightwingers don't get this when they harp on about marital rights this and women are property that. You sound like women who think that just because their husband has pledged his provision and protection, they can drain his savings on stupid shit or pick a fight with 15 thugs on his behalf just so she can feel protected. Now, you haven't said you want to fuck your wife literally whenever, regardless of sickness/pain/sleep/unwashedness of dick, and maybe you don't. The hyperfocus on muh marital rights certainly gives that impression off.


If you want to be Muslims then I don't see any difference between being replaced by Muslims and becoming like them. I prefer us being better or perish trying.

"I don't have time for your stupid questions, go look up the answer in the textbook" is two lies for the price of one: first, the person does in fact generally have time to answer questions, they just don't want to, and second, the textbook doesn't have the answers either. The equivalence you are drawing is non-existent.




Well - if I understand "we're not always capable of evaluating deep connections" correctly, the Christian answer is not even "I don't have time for your stupid questions", it's "I don't know how all of this works myself, but I trust the textbook and you should too".

If it's always harmful then you can always explain how it's harmful, rather than relying on "the Bible explains what actions are sinful" and "sin is what God said is wrong" to do the work for you.

I'd much prefer being told there is something wrong with me and that the game is rigged against me in the sense that I'm somehow inherently inept or dysgenic, than be told to




On the internet, people can't tell you're unfixably socially retarded over one (or zero) posts.

There was only one Venerable at a time, from what I recall. In addition to just how plain hard it is to become one, enough that their reigns were nowhere near consecutive (they collectively were only alive for no more than 10% of total known history), the first thing a Venerable would likely be doing at any given moment is making sure no one else is strong enough to become one.

Whether it's a punishment or a blessing depends on whether it's forced upon you when you're least ready or given when you're most desperate for it.

If your definition of "basic self-respect" is "take advantage of everyone in any way that the authorities tacitly allow (or don't punish hard enough to matter for you), and if they were weaker than you they deserved it anyway", then I suppose you're correct by your definition.


The way I remember it is that he did it utterly regardless of whether or not they did anything to wrong him, he only didn't take all their money so that it wouldn't completely invalidate the allowance the academy was giving (and thus invite harsh measures), and while he went unpunished it wasn't something that was regularly done by the biggest kid on the block.

Doesn't Fang Yuan start beating up all his classmates for money somewhere in the first 50 chapters? That seems to go a bit beyond regular self-respect to me.


And an RPG where the maximum character level is 10 would be pretty good if the progression was appropriately paced, with tiers of power between those levels according to your gear, specialization, etc; with the highest level being not a guarantee but an achievement, something akin to beating Hades on maximum Heat. Dungeons and Dragons and the computer games derived from it have the maximum level 20, and in most IRL games, players only really reach level 10.


FWIW, if you think the progression is too simple I think, as much as I hate to resort to that webnovel trope, you haven't read far enough. It should be cleared up fairly soon how numerous the barriers towards maxing out are. But maybe I'm just not burned out on progression fantasy with 10 million billion power tiers.

My point being, the state of welfare for women is utterly irrelevant to what happens if men "just refuse to pay taxes", as per faceh, because governments extract taxes with certainty that doesn't care what they then spend them on. If all women were principled self-sufficient libertarians there would still be taxes.

Just refuse to pay taxes and see how society reacts to this simple act of peaceful rebellion. If men aren't needed, if women are capable of getting along without them, then things should putter along okay anyway.




It will fail because men in the government want your money, not because women do.

If matter is more real than consciousness, then the things that intuitively matter to humans are really meaningless.




This is built on a spiritualistic premise that the only things with meaning are the ones without any grounding in the material.

I had learned later that "Gu" apparently represents various forbidden and reprehensible techniques in many xianxia novels. Given that, it makes sense that the author of RI basically wrote "Murderfuck Setting". It's as if a Western fantasy book had its main magic system be referred to as "Satanism" by everyone in-universe.

Unfortunately, this is one of the use cases where I can't check the LLM's work without having read the whole novel in the first place. If it mixes things up or forgets something crucial, I'm out of luck.
