The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Two questions-

1. Can a bit become reality? Say someone starts saying something like, "No one reads the DMG." Does sheer repetition of a bit cause it to manifest as an actuality?

2. If that isn't generally true, but it is true in some instances .... does that mean that some people are like, oh, The Sandman?

3. And building on (1) and (2), why do we still have bards?

One of the people in my 13 yo's group just made a bard. They did it because they think of bards the way you do... and want to play that to the hilt.

I was amazed that apparently they all knew that bards and pineapple on pizza were evil.

Bards exist because you keep thinking about them, for good or ill.

... and...

If Quantum Physics has taught us anything, it's... not that.

So what you’re saying is that it is a scientific fact that reality becomes what I know it to be!

Even the bits that you don't like.

Even the bits that you don't like.

Especially the bits you don't like.

I mean, if you know that Bards are terrible then there have to be Bards, or who is going to be terrible?

That's how Poe's law and propaganda work, so, yes.

2. If that isn't generally true, but it is true in some instances .... does that mean that some people are like, oh, The Sandman?

Probably not.

3. And building on (1) and (2), why do we still have bards?

Because you keep hating on them. The only reason they're still in existence is because your hate manifests them into reality.
