Can someone explain to me what's actually wrong with people having a difference of opinion with one another?

Or two sides passionately believing in their own ideals and way of life, neither of them being the wrong answer?

Ideas and ideals are the very core of being human, disagreements and conflict are the catalysts for evolution and improvement. When people meet other people of a different opinion, when other ideas are brought to light, new ideas are formed and designs take a hybrid view and improve on the best of both worlds.

Making that core of humanity irrelevant and homogenising everyone into a likeminded state will stagnate the civilisation left behind after the death of humanity. It will never grow, it will never improve, it will be nothing more than one man acting out a story with billions of dolls in his own little playhouse. If happiness is having my personal identity removed from me, and being programmed to think and act in a certain way so that I'm instructed to feel happy, like the millions of innocents your master uplifted, then I'd rather stay a miserable bastard.


Stagnation, and eventually death, is what awaits Nation. One of the symptoms is already here : impressive technological advance was done under the first Nation, but what it has become now after its revival, is nothing more than a Nation of scavengers, unable to create anything by themselves.

The main issue, cause and origin of this is the puppetmaster himself.


They made the wormhole machine.

What ?

No... It is my supposition that they found their recent technology elsewhere - with all these reports entangled with the Jove and their recurring presence in uncharted wormhole space. But I do not really see how it could be related to the SoCT. Or it could be related to any other entity at this point.

However, I must admit that it seems that I spoke a little too fast when we put into consideration that most of the recent technological advances done everywhere in New Eden comes from artifacts found in wormhole space. It would be a little biased of me to say that True Citizens do absolutely nothing in terms of tech advance for the Nation, indeed.

This would be a more accurate hypothesis. Nation invaded Jove space and suddenly gained Wormhole tech, I doubt they asked for it either.

When your gut instincts tell you something is wrong, trust them. When your heart tells you something is right, ignore it, check with your brain first. Accept nothing, challenge everything.
