   There has never been a communist paradise because every attempt to create one fails! I'm saying the reason true communism has never been tried is that every time they try to try true communism, the People's duly appointed leaders become possessed by the corrupt and decadent ghosts of the eternal bourgeoise, and this invariably sends the whole system spiraling towards an authoritarian hell that is -- fundamentally -- capitalist (at least in spirit). Or something.
   
   
   
   Lannyism solves this. I imagine.

   Exactly. People have tried to try it though, and they couldn't even get that far.

   Even if it were true that we don't have free will, it seems like the worst possible thing you could believe? Like, just from a practical perspective.
   
   Believe free will exists | free will exists
   you are conscious of your power to shape your destiny and are thereby able to do so.
   
   Believe free will exists | free will doesn't exist
   you are mistaken (the horror), and you do as you were going to do anyway.
   
   Believe free will doesn't exist | free will exists
   worst case, your capacity for agentic behavior is completely retarded. best case you are pathologically humble.
   
   Believe free will doesn't exist | free will doesn't exist
   you are correct, but you don't even get to feel justifiably smug about it. it's not like you could have chosen to believe otherwise, you soulless automaton.

Disabling a function of the natural brain is not a perfectly healthy human, it's a sick disabled human which actually proves that a healthy human has free will and our physical brains are a reflection of a natural order Gratia non tollit naturam, sed perficit

   instead of pounding away at full force in a blindly horny, mechanically autistic fashion, try making sweet and passionate love.

    Zelensky's Ukraine has held out for 2 years against an adversary many times their strength. Maybe he's a military genius after all.

    As for widespread unintentional bad outcomes: Yeah. Of course they're of some concern. I don't think they're particularly likely to occur, but you never know. Incompetence is definitely far more likely than outright malice though, for the reasons laid out above.

    My continual rebuttal to conspiracy theories of the "intentional" variety is pretty straightforward: it'd be a terrible plan to intentionally kill off your most loyal and obedient subjects, and only spare the rebellious antigovernment types. Much better to make the vaccine effective against some other virus, and then release it to kill off the ones who're inclined to dissent, as they're the ones who will impede you in your pursuit of absolute power.

    i rather find it merely tolerable, and even then, only barely.

    I think I watched the next season? It was okay, but I missed Alex. Shame they got a rapey Arab to play him and they had to Poochie the character because of the controversy.

    I really need to finish that show up, but I feel like it's going to let me down.
    
    Or worse, it won't let me down and it'll still be over.

    Okay, well, it's waiting for them in Super Hell then.
    
    (On the real though Hell is separation from God and if you're in Hell the solution is easy. You must simply accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.)
