Chat Thread 19: In the Beginning Was the Chat

In that little world of yours were only the strong stand. What proof do you have that there isn't someone stronger than you who wont crush in that new world of yours?

Also you say that Leaders and Inovaters have to carry the weight of the weak. Do you even know what a Leader is? You know, those guys that lead? WTF do you think they lead? People stronger than them?! And Inovaters? Do you even know who they Inovate for? It clearly isn't for the stronger and smarter people than them! You pick two names, yet don't evne understand the meaning behind them!

Also Inteligence is laughted at? What century do you live in?! You live in an age where being a nerd is being cool and desired, wtf are you yapping about? Things might be differant there in the USA but the rest of the world always prefered inteligence over muscle.


among other things. Ultimatly it's a conflict of views.

Well, the first point is a very pertinent one, which will definitely be addressed during the course of Tasha's arc. She actually has a pretty interesting arc.

The second is definitely valid, and I think it was addressed in Bioshock. Even if everyone is a genius, someone has to pump the gas, etc.

As far as intelligence... That's a mixed bag. It's very appreciated for a career, but that's about it.

If anything the problem with modern society isn't that there's too many people slowing down others, but rather that there's too many smart and strong people competeting and too little weak and naive people to do the rest of the dirty work.

yeah now i'm certain that this is a cultural thing. sorry illya, but being smart IS the prefered trait in the majority of the rest of the world. Sorry, but I've never seen a smart person being laughed at outside of american shows.

Maybe over there.

Well yeah, that's all I know lol. But there's still a rather obvious bias here.

so there's the problem, Tasha says she's talking about the problem of the world. when all she's doing is talking about the problems SHE sees.

Well, of course. I think most people tend to think that way. The world is what they live every day.

true, but she ends up being more condescending

Well yeah. It's the same with Morgan and Khull. They find something that makes them feel exclusive and special, and that continues to fuel the sense of superiority.

and what have they acomplish to prove that superiority?

Well, excluding the supernatural powers and the notion that they're going to rule the new world, Tasha is a very successful teacher, and Khull is an obscenely wealthy businessman.

wow, count me impressed

What, those aren't accomplishments? People can get their heads stuck up their butts for a lot less.

Now Morgan is different. Tasha and Khull are using their power to achieve a goal. Morgan just craves more power.

Being a teacher is simple and being a successful teacher is meaningless. And being a wealthy businessman, wow you are sooooooo unique.

Fighting wars, leading people, changing history, revolutionizing science, society, music, video, health, food and entertainment. Leaving your mark in history, that's an achievement.

being a good teacher and businessman, well, that's what you're supposed to be in your job, good.

Well yeah. They're not going down in the history books or anything, but how many people are these days? And yet, you and I both know that being successful at your career is more than enough to give the majority of people a superiority complex.

oh i'm not saying that's it's wrong.

I'm saying that that's why I hate her.

Fair enough.

Makes me very interested to see what you'll think of the new characters in book 2.

we'll se about that


so what else?

Hmm. Dunno. You beat New Order yet?

? you can't beat mobile games

Why not?

because there's no end

How is that possible? I mean yeah, you can keep replaying levels, but eventually you'll get through evety level. Unless they update it, of course.

they update it. So it will have an end when they give up on this, which should be around the time when it takes more money to create content than the money they are getting

So I'll rephrase it. Have you beaten all the available levels?

not all, some are too hard for my current lvl
