Ugh. No, I'm not "tapping out". I was recognizing a lost cause and moving on with my life.
I already addressed why we have no reason to think the synthesis ending will bring about peace. Bringing up a philosophy site does not change that. The evidence has to come from the game itself. The philosophy on its own does not prove anything, unless we have examples from the game to support it. Just because the philosophy exists, and even if you were interpretting it correctly (which I don't believe to be the case), that doesn't mean that the game in any way agrees with that that philosophy. The game only shows us negative outcomes for synthesis, shows us that even a hive mind can have a conflict, and that diversity is beneficial. I addressed this in more detail a few posts back, and I don't feel like repeating myself.
If you want to sit there saying you haven't insulted me fine. We might as well be arguing about whether or not the sky is blue. If you want to say that the sky is green, fine. I'm not wasting any more energy saying it's blue.
But, that was not my only reason for not replying. It was also because you simply weren't responding to what I actually wrote anymore. Actually, that's been the case for a while, but I got bored of it.
For example.
Are you seriously thinking that I don't have time because I can't find the answers? That is such a dumb accusation. Some people have lives outside of the internet and tend to be very busy. This is something that is a very simple concept to understand. If you insist, I have been very busy working on a cinematic cutscene for a current project. Damn. I didn't even want to touch this. The next thing you're going to say is that it's just an excuse. Once again grasping at straws.
This just flat out doesn't relate to anything I said. I didn't say anything about you having or not having time. I didn't accuse you of not having time, or anything like it. This just literally popped out of nowhere. In fact, I've said several times that I have no interest whatsoever in what you claim to do in your outside life. I certainly didn't "insist" on you telling me anything. In fact I've mentioned a few times how I'm profoundly uninterested in your personal life.
You're responding to something I never ever said. Plus you're even getting an attitude and being condescending about something that I never said. I really don't know what I could possibly say to this. It's just kind of bizarre.
Are you seriously asking me how hybrids are not synthetic and organic? My god dude... they are hybrids because they are synthetic AND organic. This is children's logic. I don't even know what to say about this without sounding ignorant or insulting.
No, I'm not seriously asking you how hybrids are not synthetic and organic. I'm not only not asking you seriously, I'm not asking you in any way whatsoever. I just simply didn't ask you that, or in any way question that hybrids are both synthetic or organic. I mean... I'm the one who brought up the term hybrid... spefically to describe beings that were both organic and synthetic...
You're making up something I never said, and then implying I'm an idiot for saying it @_@. I just simply don't know how to respond to that.
I don't know why you are saying that theme and what the characters are doing are the same.
Not only did I not say this one, but I said the exact opposite of it. To quote myself.
"You are using subject, theme, conflict, and plot interchangeably... but they're just not the same things. "
I'm not sure how that could possibly be misconstrued... Again, you're just saying things that I didn't say, and I really don't know how to carry on any kind of dialogue in that situation.
So, yeah. If your replies are complete non-sequitors, then I'm done.
