(OOC): You say, "Well, ok, who wants to hear this theory I just came up with;while pacing in my dorm room supporting the theory that mankind is inherently;evil."
(OOC): Gelphend says, "Sure."
(OOC): Kitty says, "Go for it."
(OOC): Lonewolf says, "No don't your going to ruin everything whahahahah."
(OOC): You say, "Ok... let's assume first that "good" is what helps the;greatest number of people to be healthy, happy and strong."
(OOC): You say, "And that weakness is evil because it causes you to falter and;fail in your tasks to better yourselves and the people around you."
(OOC): Mononoke says, "Bah."
(OOC): You say, "Now, machines are inhuman."
(OOC): You say, "Why? Because they never make any mistakes or falter in their;purpose."
(OOC): You say, "If people never made any mistakes in their calculations or;actions, they would be just like machines- they would be inhuman."
(OOC): You say, "Thus, are our weaknesses not what make us human? Is weakness;not humanity, and if weakness is evil, is humanity not inherently evil?"
(OOC): Mononoke says, "Zaps zero to shut his mouth about evil."
(OOC): You say, "The truth hurts."
(OOC): You say, "Everyone lives in deception."
(OOC): Kitty says, "Who said humanity isnt evil?"
(OOC): Mononoke says, "Off."
(OOC): Lonewolf says, "Ok then what about all the ""good "" people i nthe;world?"
(OOC): You say, "It's possible to do good, but that series of connections says;that humanity is inherently weak and evil."
(OOC): Kitty says, "Alot of people are evil, and whether your good or evil,;everyone makes mistakes."
(OOC): You say, "And that points out the hypocrisy of our existence, we strive;to be perfect, but stay human at the same time, when the two things are really;opposed to each other."
(OOC): You say, "What do you think gelphy? =)."
(OOC): Lonewolf says, "If we're WEAK and evil why are we still alive."
(OOC): Kitty says, "We strive to make things better, but will perfection ever;be reached? i think not, however that doesnt make us all evil or all good."
(OOC): You say, "We haven't died yet? =b."
(OOC): Gelphend says, "*grin*."
(OOC): Lonewolf says, "Somepeople say to be perfect is to be God."
(Excerpt, this wasn't in the conversation but I'm adding it now): Deus ex Machina!!!
(OOC): Gelphend says, "I think that's right."
(OOC): You say, "But if you accept that weakness is evil then imperfection is;evil, and as making mistakes is the only thing that separates us from machines,;our mistakes are our humanity, and humanity is evil."
(OOC): Lonewolf says, "And machines can make mistakes as well."
(OOC): Lonewolf says, "Because they don't think and feel."
(OOC): Kitty says, "Where did machines come into this? they are a man made;thing."
(OOC): Lonewolf says, "Therefor machines are evil too."
(OOC): Kitty says, "Not all."
(OOC): You say, "Interesting point Lonewolf."
(OOC): Kitty says, "You can make machines do good things, and you can make them;do good things."
(OOC): Kitty says, "Umm and evil i meant."
(OOC): You say, "I love these names we all have for ourselves... Zero,;Lonewolf, Kitty =)."
(OOC): You say, "I think I'm going to cut and paste this discussion into the;poetry section =)."
(OOC): Lonewolf says, "Good idea."
(OOC): Kitty says, "Hardly poetry though :)."
