Intergalactic Summit

Vaari, darling, were you bullied as a child?

Sometimes I cannot help but wonder if this man is actually mocking the rest of the Empire in some sort of cleverly disguised satire.

Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh, or cry.

*chokes with laughter* Gotta love those crazy amarr priests. Reclaimers though...the worst of the lot.

I think I shall watch this thread with great interest and a good Vodka. I sense great comedy in it's future...

Science has found out that most people sometimes in their lives suffer hallucinations. Even if not under drugs or under sleep deprivation. These hallucinations may cause that they see ghosts or other unearthly creatures, some see their ancestor, some totems and some hear messages or voices.

The strong people among us understand that their everyones mind sometimes plays tricks and that it very implausible that we for example are taken away by aliens to be examined and such sillies. The strong mind understand that we are not perfect and that an illusion that is coming from inside can be in this state of mind exact as real as the world outside.

The weak minds begin to believe in what they see. They believe in ghosts, in spirits, follow those messages or somethings like that. They do not question the illusions by the laws of science and probability. They don't cut them with Occams razor. His bloody bloody razor.

The weak minds begin to believe in what they have seen. And may begin to praise a god or something.

But there is nothing but illusions. And this simple truth is not seen by the blind. Is not seen by the weak. To accept visions as truth is not seeing. It is exact the opposite. It's blindness. A real vision is coming from experiences in reality and knowledge. You know what "Science" means in the old dead languages? Knowledge.

Burn Amarr, burn, burn, burn. And make place for truth and clear sight. Burn the lies of the Empire. The things that spit into the face of humankind, of knowledge of what is real. No gods, just us. We make the world we live in and there's nobody to protect us from our failure. So make sure you do it right and don't listen to messages from twisted state of minds. Listen to reason instead. See that the system that is coming from the Empire will be hell on earth. Because it's injustice and is guided by those who are blinded by hallucinations that are not real. Instead of letting people build up the new world that really try hard to find out what the world really is. And don't listen to voices inside their heads.

Why shall we don't do drugs? Because the weak minds will be twisted by a hallucination like citizen Vaari is. It is an illness that is very hard to cure. The only working cure known is a pill that has 125mm in diameter.

Ms. Wildfire, while I agree with you that hallucinations lie beneath the Amarr religion, they also lie beneath just about every form of ideology, religion, and faith in the society of man. The Amarr are not uniquely delusional, and I personally do not believe God is an illusion. Were this statement of Vaari's coming from someone, anyone else (preferably someone who doesn't admit to being a despot and refer to himself as such), I would be open to it and not suspect that said person was taking advantage of the gullibility of others. I don't condone what the Amarr do in the name of God, but I also don't try to accuse them of doing what they do for one reason or another. I've come to respect that most Amarrians are honorable in their pursuit of what they believe to be God's will, and while I do not agree with them on what God's will is, or even what God is, I've found that it is much easier to tread a path of cool objectivity when we do not understand a culture and ideology that is not our own, rather than judge it vindictively and walk on hot coals, so to speak. I do not condone slavery. I do not condone racial predetermination (the idea that the Amarr are God's chosen). I do not condone forcing faith on others. But I also don't try to impose on others in an accusatory manner why they do. Aren't you guilty of the same crime if you carry yourself in such a manner? I understand you may harbor ill-will towards the Amarr naturally, but have you considered looking at things with a moment of objectivity? Perhaps if you can take the initiative in doing so, the Amarr will follow suit. I believe this is the only way we will be able to solve the conflict, as it is quickly becoming obvious that neither side will be capable of breaking the other, and every day thousands of lives and tons of equipment and food go towards fighting a war that can easily be ended non-violently. I will reiterate what i mentioned earlier: if the Minmatar and Amarr are to have any chance at a true understanding of one another, they must look at things from the other's perspective.

I just found a new poster child for "Don't do it! - The Dangers of boosters"

I always did like that campaign, now it has a suiting mascot.

Nope.



No such thing exists.



Then, Vaari, I personally invite you to come and do something about it.



No-one created us. We evolved this way over billions of years.



All facts indicate precisely the opposite.

That many titles? Clearly compensating.
