Is equality a bad thing?

[Imperial Nilfgaard]

History is the ultimate judge of honor.

So only the victors are honorable?

Overall yes, but there are elements of the vanquished that also deserve praise provided they fought hard and were uncompromising.

[Individuality-ness]

Why not both?

Because I have no one to watch the train wreck with. It's less fun when you can't do half sentences with someone else as you both laugh at the horror.

We should all arrange an IRC for a movie screening of Atlas Derped, parts 1, 2, and upcoming 3. *nod*

Answer the question, Nilfgaard...

Anybody is able to get ahead in this world and successfully manipulate others has proven themselves to be worthy of praise.
Success deserves praise. Failure deserves contempt.

Manipulation of others seems to be a prerequisite of becoming influential and powerful, its also a symptom of being a psychopath.
Think about that for a minute.

[Conscentia]

Anybody is able to get ahead in this world and successfully manipulate others has proven themselves to be worthy of praise.

Why do you think this?

Success deserves praise. Failure deserves contempt.

· Success & failure are subjective.
· Why do you think this?
· Even the success of an individual was at the expense of many others?

Overall yes, but there are elements of the vanquished that also deserve praise provided they fought hard and were uncompromising.

So you consider surrendering to spare the lives of your men dishonorable?

In which "the speech" will be given by someone who has memorized 500,000 digits of Pi.

Let me guess, you're a nazilover.

Oh gods... the speech, in the book, was apparently 3 hours long... that could be its own movie. *shudders*

It depends on the specific circumstance. If there was a chance for victory otherwise then absolutely.

I'm a masochist, maybe a bit sadist, but mostly masochist. *nod*

What if the chance was so low that it was not worth the cost?

She's AZN, that's their thing.

Imagine the promo posters for it.

"You'll be riveted while someone talks about the purple elephants for three hours! ...what? It wasn't purple elephants? Oh, sorry, I blanked out about 23 minutes in and only came out of my torpor when the usher checked for vitals."

The world's first villian monologue.

Nah, villains have done monologues. It's just that usually the villains are also the antagonists, whereas Galt's the hero of Atlas Derped.

You are obviously not a man of science...

I am a man of reason, as well as a strict Darwinian.

Like, surrendering to the Imperial Japanese for example?

Darwin wasn't even a Darwinian.

I look at the book as society (the hero) fighting against Galt (the villian). It reads more interestingly that way.

Those two are mutually exclusive.

And it's completely non-addictive! No known side-effects other than a unyielding fear of Libertarians.

But society loses in the end....

Give us an example.

Would you consider the surrender of Japan to America as dishonorable?
