maybe I need to accept that I´m more of a thinker with impulse control issues than a doer

“Justice. To be ever ready to admit that another person is some thing quite different from what we read when he is there (or when we think about him). Or rather, to read in him that he is certainly something different, perhaps something completely different, from from what we read in him. Every being cries out silently to be read differently.
We read, but also we are read by, others. Interferences in these readings. Forcing someone to read himself as we read him (slavery). Forcing others to read us as we read ourselves (conquest). A mechanical process. More often than not a dialogue between deaf people.”
—Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace (tr. Emma Crawford & Mario von der Ruhr)
what are your thoughts on the magic system of our reality (1.0 version for clarification)
I really like how you can impose meaning into symbols. That's pretty dope.
I like how you can trigger emotions by making sounds
Really dig how literally anything can become language. People are still figuring out the tech there.
Been really enjoying the recent rebalances to organized religion. Hopefully they keep nerfing it.
At the same time, I'm loving the new God loadouts. Considering maining Ignosticism.
It's dope that numbers can be manipulated to predict specific sorts of actions, but it's balanced with an extremely high skill ceiling
Big fan of love.
HAPPY APRIL 14TH
actually my posting is not ego-centric I just avoid mentioning others for data security issues
