   The most concise word for that is not misinformation, it's malinformation; true information spread with an intent to cause harm. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2F... It's fine becau

   I can understand how you might think that if you don't believe Jesus was the Son of God. Believing in the Miracle of Kenosis, I find that demonstrates humility beyond any words I could ever hope to type.

   Actually, there's a totally apt device in LOTR already: the palantíri. https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Palant%C3%ADri Except instead of there being only seven, Sauron mass-produced them and now everyone has one, mayb

   I thought about this a little more. The relationship of these "people I do not like" (though some of them are not so bad) to freedom exists - it's not liberal, it's libertine . You are free to play almost any way you wa

   When I was a teenager, I saw the stories of exceptionally strange internet personalities like Chris Chan and Ulillillia, and felt a paranoia that I'd spend my life in my overprotective parents' basement. When I look at my life, I&

   Ahhhh, it's not a town square. It's Mordor, the panopticon. And we're just a horde of orcs wondering when meat's back on the menu.

   Sounds plentifully like frostpunk but the constraints are more based on disease and human cognition. I posit that for the purposes of psychological/mental health, it is not worth it to live in a system run through deception. It is also

   Liberalism is about liberty. Those people haven't been acting as liberals. They've been acting as militant technocrats. That said, I'm willing to forgive anyone who's been living that way and realizes it's not gonna

    You've made the strongest case I've seen for some knowledge flexibility by bringing up tech freelancing, but this generalization is still ensconced in tech specialism. The last two posts have lost sight of the bigger picture. The

    I feel a need to clarify. I'm Eastern Orthodox Christian, so I do find some sort of speaking out to be productive. The apostles did evangelize, they worked miracles and focused on others above themselves according to the Book of Acts a

    If its use was facetious, Poe's Law definitely applies here. Since you don't find mysticism helpful, that's one thing. If you found it triggering , that's another.

    Here diplomatic ability maps to legal deceit through misdirection. Illuminati has an option to enable any cheating that is not caught. I tried playing it that way with my friends once. Our table ended up feeling like a city of thieves.
