Intergalactic Summit

It's only been 6 years since you were a baseliner. And you forgot already that we - excuse me, they - talk about capsuleers a lot and don't go insane? Yes, that includes thinking about the power capsuleers have.

Oh, I was just pointing this out for discussion. I am quite comfortable being the monster. For those I care about I am a stalwart and trustworthy individual. For those I call foe, I will unleash all the contempt I hold for humanity onto you.

The most simple way to solve problems is death. If the problem is dead; you will live.

They won't go insane from that at all. Look, even before Capsuleers exist, we already have warlords who happily march millions of folks into meat grinders where people die by dozens per minute. The general public won't understand why said warlords will march so many people off to their death in the name of ambition or resources or whatever but they certainly do not go mad about it.

Us Capsuleers are quite similar in that respect, except we are very much capable of causing hundreds of deaths per minute. It's not exactly that incomprehensible a scale for a baseliner to imagine. What the baseliner is not going to understand is why we thought that killing that many people at such scale is fine.

They know very well what we are. We are transhumans who cheat death and wield war machines of such terrifying power using them would have been considered a war crime by the Federation a millennial ago. Will the revelation drive them mad? Nope. It has never driven them mad. They just put us on the same level as those ruthless warlords.

By the way, I think you need to lose that God Complex.

God complex, I wish. Perhaps then I would not be so scared of the things that are coming. The dark gods have already claimed an empress, and even our transhuman bodies where not enough to save her. I certainly do not have a god complex Mr Egivand, I just understand the step we as Capsuleers have taken that make us more then human. There are things far scarier then us in space.

I would be very interested with where you found your information on the activities of Capsuleers having never driven baseliners mad. I do quite a bit of recovery work for crew in the war zone, Mad would be an excellent way of describing the mind state of many Caldari Destroyer captains who just watched there warships turn into dust around them. You know once it sinks in that his government sent him to his death, and that he never really stood any chance.

A well applied stick would do the job.... hell, you could achieve that goal with your bare hands.

Maybe. I am going to make an appointment with a psychiatrist.

Morals are wrong concepts in the first place. We all are just fighting for ourselves, for what is ours, or for what we wish to make ours.

I though adore to attack these so called moralists with logic and show them that from our point of view they are in fact amoral, simply because morals aren't absolute, they are just ways we perceive things.

There is no universal good and evil, there is just conflict of interests. And those, who claim to be actual 'good' - they are only trying to hide their own misdoings and dishonorable actions, trying to convince themselves and others in what they are not.

There is though a way I myself consider things good and evil, but again, they aren't absolute, because, well, it is correct only from this point of view. And for me good people are those, who are working for others and for community. And evil people are those, who work only for themselves and for their own, personal interests.

PS.
And no, becoming 'mass murderer' and killing civilians or non-capsuleers, Ms. Ivanovich, won't make you monster or 'evil'. That will make you only inefficient for embezzlement of ammunition.

On that we agree
