The Bolsheviks were a red herring. Russia was already an authoritarian [censored] long before they came to power and it's still authoritarian now, well over a quarter of a century later

Several people have brought up Star Trek, but I don't think anybody has mentioned the Borg yet. The borg are, in a way, scarily plausible. They're a political or religious movement carried to its logical extreme - A memetic replicatior gone out of control; all thought, subtlety, nuance, or even...

This I agree with. This is obvious. EDIT: Unless you mean the computer game

Yeah! [censored] shareholders! Money is the root of all evil! Money is the devil's [censored]!

I think that last post may have itself been written by an AI.

Agreed. That's all kinds of messed up. Seriously, ** ** shareholders and ** ** companies, there's not a single company in the world that couldn't be replaced within the day if it suddenly went under

The problem is that this is a doylist fix to a watsonian problem. It's deus ex machina. (Or perhaps even worse than deus ex machina, because deus ex machina at least implies some in-world explanation, however contrived.) EDIT: Rather than even being deus ex machina, it's closer to something...

Has anybody commented yet on the 2-axis alignment system's similarity to this diagram: from the Principia Discordia in the late 1960's

That's what I heard too. A gamist answer to a narrative question that solved nothing narratively and merely raised fi=urther questions

I've got a couple of half formed christmas adventure/story ideas. One of them is jamming christmas memes into an Army Of Darkness esque adventure ("This is my boomstick! It's An official Red Ryder Carbine-action 200 shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that...
