It can makes sens for some, Paladins for instance, to put order before good, the lawful evil.
But murder-hobos are gonna blast anyway.
imo if your players all just want to fight take them to a place full of hostile creatures or in a full on war at that point. There's definitely some creative interest for the DM in both of those I think.
Yeah education and prevention were always the best measure against addictions. But when it's something deeply ingrained in society it takes time to move on. I like to think society is it's own living thing, evolving much slower.
I'm only 25 so I don't have much responsibilities to hide behind and feel adult. Not that i'd like them, I kinda have a fear of them, sometimes.
Although, being a young adult, I especially get this feeling alongside feeling lost.
When your an adult there isn't anything guiding you, so like the child without guidance you're lost. It's then you see life's pointlessness, because the only point of living were always the arbitrary goals others gave.
In that regard responsibilities are also outside goals that guide you.
In a more joyful note, I don't even know why fun should be childish but it's amazing to be at all age.
Those two facts alone are what makes me think of how similar I still am to the child me.
In the world it's the other way around, the demographics are still booming.
You know what came before having better birth control and lower birth rates in most developed countries, medicine and lower death rate. In most of them now both are pretty close (most because there are exceptions like Japan).
I'm not really sure i see a problem with a slight decrease in population in a place where there is already a lot of people.
Well depends what you mean by birth control... is it a way to prevent pregnancy or children?
Since birth is in the name i'd say the term is better suited for referring to anything preventing the birth of a children. But what the term refers to has no barring on what's happening.
It never meant people don't make a difference. Any reasonable women knows and feel the difference.
The fact it's less safe and has worse effects on your health is just another way we realize how serious an abortion is. It will never be inconsequential even if it was safe.
Please do not trust anyone who says people disagree with this. They all have a political reason to lie.
On a first date i'd also avoid the past. Even without being traumatic your past has some privacy. For some it's more private than others. But it's never the goal of a first encounter.
Destroying a system means there isn't anything in place and also that you weaken the power of your own side because you had to go through all the violence needed.
That's obvious but it also explains why worse system can rise, but also that it's not always a doomed endeavor. I think the context has a lot to do with what will occurs next.
The best exemple i could give is the French Revolution. It was followed by the worst Napoleonic wars. But its philosophers founded the building block for the republic that's still in place to this day.
The red revolution against tsarist has brought a lot of positive foundation from which Russian could arguably have builded upon after the war, if not for Gorbachev.
I'm not gonna go to much into any hypothetical but what Lenin created had a real and positive influence in the rest of Europe at least.
At the worst end of the spectrum Iran really had nothing left to build upon, the situation there is catastrophic on all front. So if not for the US the country isn't gonna stand on its legs any time soon.
I think the evolution of the end of a system, even through those three exemple, can go into so many different path. It's hard to really predict anything, especially without taking into account all the parameters and context.
Definitely true.
I think the hypothesis of a nature both in human actions and society as a whole does have enough merits to be a good starting point.
Were I think there is a lot of unpredictability is on conditions of living and technologies.
Technologies especially, evolve so much quicker than society or human nature.
I would say recently our technologies twisted some of our own nature. For instance how we reproduce in such a controlled way.
Not only this but we do now more than ever things not because of our nature. And it's also been put into very unique situations.
A great example is social media (including Lemmy itself). We have access to communication so far from us it created very unique communities.
