    Laws are not magic spells, and all the people who enforce them are his creatures.

    Demonstrably not.

    Just because we use the same rules for our violently enforced traditions of hierarchy and the physical constants of reality does not mean they’re actually the same thing.

    You are either 14 and very profound or a newly-minted graduate student. 'Cause I have no idea what you are trying to say.

      He cannot create something from nothing. He cannot act without an equal and opposite reaction. He cannot exceed the ideal speed of unimpeded light. He cannot be smaller than the Planck length. Try as he might; it simply cannot be done.

      A person has to actively to stop him from doing all the rape murder and genocide his shitty little chest void desires. Nobody has. Are you going to?

      I’m saying calling both these categories ‘laws’ is misleading.

          Are you going to engage with my ideas, or try to discredit me by… Saying I’m getting an education?

          I’m confused as to what your argument is here. My best guess is that what I said resonated with you enough to make you uncomfortable, and youre trying to discredit me so you dont have to think about it.

          And I get that. I get trying to stay comfortable, I get trying to cling to what you have and what’s worked to keep it in the past, but we no longer have that luxury. Do not rely on the ‘law’ to protect you. Start looking at alternatives. I know its scary, I know its new, and I know it might require change, but its what we need to get through this. Maybe what you find will end up enriching you long term, if you survive. Change isn’t always bad.

              Again, why are you replying ic not to engage with what I’m saying? You’re just trying to insult(?) me so you don’t have to, but you could have just clicked past my reply. That shows either my previous content was correct, or you’re really profoundly lonely and are using this platform in leiu of human intimacy. No judgement if it’s that second one; shit can be pretty grim out there.
