I did clarify it in another thread, but the context was that I was arguing against a transhumanist who believed you should be allowed to do anything to preserve human life. I said, no, you are not allowed to do anything because the ends don't justify the means. The transhumanist continued to...

I'm sorry, but are you saying that if God doesn't allow you to do anything you want to do, then there is no such thing as free will? That's a clearly fallacious argument. There's nothing about moral rules that bars the existence of free will. In fact, the very ideal of morality presupposes that...

You are not allowed to do anything in order to avert death. If you were to violate your body, God's temple, to stay alive, that would be immoral. I don't agree with that. Immoral and irrational acts violate the natural order. I'm not a transhumanist, so I don't believe that.

I take the view that undeath does represent a violation of the natural order. Us and everything else in this world are meant to end. The only things that are immortal are God, his angels, and the human soul. The East gets things wrong by adopting the philosophy of reincarnation, whereby (as you...

I think that that is a consequence of Eastern philosophy. Understand, if that manga was written in the West, no doubt the titular paladin would have a more Christian message. The cultural clash is understandable, assuming you are reading the main character correctly. Of course, even if you...

I find that to be all too common, but I do think that it’d be interesting.

I think he had ambitions to become Japan's prime minister if I remember correctly, but as far as I know, he's a regular high school student. I think his competence at the king job is basically his "cheat" ability.

Crossposted from my isekai thread on SV (link). I finally found the isekai story that I was searching for but couldn't quite name. It's called "Genjitsushugisha no Oukokukaizouki" or "How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom." The premise of the story is that ordinary high school student Kazuya...

Yes. It's actually the spiritual successor to Amnesia: The Dark Descent and plays exactly like an Amnesia game. That's... an odd thing. Not a bad thing though.

Soma is a game where you wake up in a robot body in an abandoned underwater research facility in a future where most of the Earth's population has been wiped out by a giant meteor.

The digital one reminds me of that horror game Soma. Ever heard of it?

Here was a post from my Isekai thread on SV that I found rather informative. This quote in particular has some interesting ideas.

Monster Girls 2020 is on a furries website.

Really cool stuff. It looks interesting. I’ll have to look at it myself. It’s an interesting idea for a reverse Isekai, though I’m really not a fan of furries.

It looks fascinating. What’s it about?

Here's my thread from Sufficient Velocity about Isekai.
