  1. By that logic there is no such thing as morals, just some things we imagined. And the only basis for any moral judgement is that more people agree with you. How do you live like this? Legitamate question, I don't even think I could.
  2. I have additional thoughts on Taravangian but RoW spoilers so... Yeah. If anyone wants to know I can PM you.
  3. So @Bejardin1250 says that if the end is good enough the means don't matter While I say means and end must be good. We both say religion is the basis of Morality, while @Honorless disagrees. I got everything?
  4. Which isn't as big a problem for live plate, but something to note. One thing I've been thinking about lately is can Roshar recreate the Siblings shield for personal use?
  5. I excpect I did. Without context that seems really bad.
  6. that was a responce intended to show my thoughts on the specific thought exsperiment provided. this one specifically meaning that I think that the question provided, and the one I asked are the same, and that just because people are going to die does not make it right to kill them
  7. Am I reading that question incorrectly?
  8. Everyone is going to die anyway so why is murder wrong? I'm sorry I'm not sure I understand. I mean I can, see how you would arive at that conclusion, but I would look at that as being worse, you know it's wrong but keep doing it. Why can't it be a synonym? Why can't how good you are be defined by how similar you are to God? And alternativly if morality isn't based on religion what is it based on?
  9. How would this situation eve exist? reguardless I think you are looking at that the wrong way, I am not letting them die, they are being killed. I am not responsible for other people's actions. Does that make sense?
  10. You can't fight evil with evil, anymore than you can wash yourself clean of coal stains with mud. Is there a better way to judge morality than by religion? Well, in order for humans to actually endure for all time God must sustain them, so therefore he only way humanity as a whole could be threatened is if God wanted it to be, so I don't think that works. Unless you mean on Roshar's side in which case, Humanity exists outside roshar so Taravangian doesn't even have that.
  11. Life is temporary, Sin is forever.
  12. I would watch the world burn, rather than cause one innocent to perish.
  13. Shallan is just annoying, she never actually does anything exciting, and takes time away from the people that are. I don't mind the jokes but some level of seriousness, some fighting, and some external acomplishments would go a long way to improving her character.
  14. Taravangian is a dirtbag who only pretends to have morals. I mean come on, you know something is wrong but do it anyway?
  15. I think the reason that it's hard to feel dread from Brandon is two-fold He likes to explain things, stuff you don't understand is automatically scarrier Plot armor, characters never feel in danger, because they aren't.
  16. he managed to catch a Radiant that could hold her own against a Herald, so I don't think he needs to be worried by a feruchemist.
  17. well Odium had at least a little help, and he specifically sought out fights he had a good matchup with
  18. what he means is that he doesn't believe Kelsier found Yolen, before Silverlight did.
  19. Now if only we could get him to write the books we want.
  20. Sorry I'm late I believe we have covered the fact that a resonance is not the blending of abilities, but rather an additional bonus that individuals excpirience, a f-iron a-chromiun twinborn culd have a resonance of faster metabolism for all we know. That can be just as easily explained by saying that lashing only changes direction and that you would keep momentum, and thus only conitinue to accelerate if you chaned directions. On plate, it has to crack, leaving a small opening, or break, in which an entire section shatters altogether in order to get through. and blades breaking plate is more than likely a similar effect to being able to steelpush on Atium.
  21. he could disappear after the first five.
  22. Adin is mentioned really early on in RoW, so he isn't just a throwaway character. Or at least is less likely to be.
  23. Viva La Revelution!
  24. I would think that the Highstomr renews them, given that the ones in the CR glow afterwards, and Syl's interleud.
