All these changes and improvements are neat, i cant wait to place my wp wherever i want. Its a long-waited feature.

Another one could be, to finally be able to log on our hideouts.

On fresh logins and when dying in a non-map area as well.


Nontheless, its a nice work, keep on GGG!

Everything in this world is for profit

I'm fascinated by the forces that manufacture minds like yours.

It's actually possible for some to not realize the very existence of multicellular life, and the unmitigated primacy of cooperation and language itself as a survival trait, entirely refutes the pro-slavery world view implied by your reverence for drudgery and trade imbalance.

Yet you persist. It's almost like blindsight, minus the logical consistency.

Don't be an entitled and spoiled troll/sit down on your lazy ass

I wish Orwell had presented the concept of doublethink differently such that it was more socially obvious in cases like yours.

I mean, you genuinely don't realize that way of thinking is inherently conflicted. (And there are so many like you it makes one wonder how democracy itself can be valid when such a small a handful of opinion makers can be so effective.)

Your entire notion of labor's purpose exists to enable the very thing you in the next breath so bitterly attack as "laziness."

Or should I say Sloth? In another era you'd make the same arguments on behalf of the clergy or the crown would you not?

It's the same as it has been. A PR firm selling a world view to the masses that keeps them working, expressly so that the owners of the firm and its (royal) clients won't have to.

But that's all old news. More recently I am genuinely curious how the narrative is going to evolve when it finds itself in a context where it can no longer (cogently at least) blame unemployment on some imaginary and arbitrarily defined character flaw.

Picture an island with 10 people but only two jobs thanks to innovation.

Would they still try to spin the resulting 80% unemployment rate as due to "laziness?"

I mean if demand for leisure/freedom ("laziness/sloth") is a character flaw (unless you're rich?) then it follows that work itself is an axiomatic virtue doesn't it?

So without needed tasks, would they invent superfluous time consuming painful ones for the other 80% of the island? (Would simply flogging them be acceptable instead for the sin of having free time?)

Would they be asked to invent such tasks or do the flogging themselves "voluntarily" on pain of avoiding worse social punishment for being "too lazy to find a job?"

Not asking you personally, just conceptually. Asking my back brain really. After all, you're not a rational agent in this. Your answer would just be given to you by some PR firm like always. I'm better off waiting for a press release than asking any one member of the party.
