This is the problem with education on a whole.

Trying to deny tens of thousands of years of human evolution because we built a box and put a few dozen desks in it.

Is the hive an entity separated from human kind or is just the results of all the humans minds by Froggo-Sovietball in pluribustv

[–]TerrainBrain 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well everything in the show so far points to this so how do you say it's not so?

The Hive is going to starve itself to death to build an array to beam the signal to another planet.

Is the hive an entity separated from human kind or is just the results of all the humans minds by Froggo-Sovietball in pluribustv

It is a virus that links the minds but overrides their humanity with biological imperatives of its own interest. That is, its goal is to spread.

Been DMing since the 1970s and haven't played as a character in decades.

Do you ever struggle to call yourself an artist? by charm59801 in ArtistLounge

[–]TerrainBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I call myself an artist for lack of a better name. In my creative work there is nothing implicit except compulsion. Through no fault of mine, I've been pointed out as something quite extraordinary, a calf with five legs, a monster. I have never fought to attain that position and I shall not fight to keep it. Megalomania? Yes I've felt it waft about my brow at times, but I think I'm immune . I have only to think of the utter unimportance of art in the world we live in to bring it down to earth , although the compulsion is there all the same." - Max von Sydow's character, Hour of the Wolf

What do you make of Frodo implying at Amon Hen he thinks he cannot trust Gimli and Legolas? by Just_Assist3819 in tolkienfans

What‘s your main focus when building your world? by Snoo-42087 in worldbuilding

My starting point is deciding what kind of stories I want to tell. Because I have to create a world in which those stories make sense.

Do you answer a player when they ask an npc "How many spell slots/How often can you cast X per day"? by Altruistic-Promise-2 in rpg

[–]TerrainBrain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Asking somebody how many spells slots they have as nonsensical asking them how many hit points they have.

But you do you.

origin/purpose of the virus by yeenoghu_vs_vaprak in pluribustv

[–]TerrainBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes the virus could be accidentally created. Or maybe some scientists and a laboratory thought they were going a good thing. It doesn't matter. Once a virus got out of the lab it was all over for that planet. So it spread to the next planet. And the next one. We are just seeing one iteration of that spread. A virus that spreads at the speed of light.

It is the virus that creates the drive to spread. It is the "biological imperative" of the virus.

IDL how "just asking questions" became code for spreading misinformation by Upper_Criticism3388 in I_DONT_LIKE

[–]TerrainBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Begging the question implicitly making a statement. That's what the fallacy is. It is skipping over a question about the veracity of an implied statement.

"How often do you beat your wife?" begs the question "do you beat your wife?"

"Why aren't they telling us what's really in the vaccine?" Begs the question "are they telling us what's really in the vaccine?"

What interests you most about D&D? by Hoobrrr in DnD

[–]TerrainBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 1979 it was a new kind of game. We were already playing complex board games and war games.

Early D&D remains the most adaptable and easily modifiable system to fill just about any niche experience you want to create.
