    Granted. All holidays are now instead the sixth of Febuary, but only for you. For example: It's Halloween. everyone is dressed up and asking for candy. when you ask for candy in your awesome The Stick costume, they treat you like they would treat people who tried to do that on the sixth of Febuary. maybe with a musket, who knows? I wish to have the wish of the person after the one who responds to me, without the bane.

    Yeah, I don't have a great answer. rn, that and 'significant' are the big holes b/c they're so ill-defined, but also really hard to quantify in the field of ethics. It definitely depends, I try to stay close to: the fundamental compromising of any political, social, or cultural right is considered harm, and any compromising to LLorPH is significant harm. and significant is: in a way that fundamentally changes any relevant meaning such that it's semantic correlation is less than about 0.6. this still doesn't work great, since semantic correlation is still subjective, and I can't always adhere to these exactly, but this is what I aim to use them as.

    Me, I'm the demon. Spoiler: Unpublished(and I think unnamed, and not a priority sort thing): for #3, I feel like he specifically, and intentionally gave us exactly enough info to have us ask this, but also for us to have no satisfying answer. my thought is that she never actually lived past that day, it's a Dalinar Vision sort thing. Spoiler for Yumi: As for what caused it, that's my primary reason for thinking Valor. She was given memories that taught her how to be brave in all of these situations, and then she was put back into it, similar to how Dalinar got shown what was needed to refound the honorable Knights radiants

    I've actually thought about this a lot. My thoughts, : (some are obvious, but still not practiced by a lot of people) Some terms G/I = Group or individual B/P = Belief or Practice LLPH = Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness 0th: Ideally, all B/Ps ought to be tolerated, including those of minorities, and the B/Ps of large groups should only take precedence in a truly equal, binary system. 1st: If a B/P causes no direct or indirect harm to any G/I other than the B/Ping G/I, it should be tolerated. 2nd: If a B/P actively and directly damages the B/P of any G/I, without directly protecting LLorPH for any G/I, or the B/P of some group larger than that whose B/P are being damaged, the offending B/P should not be tolerated. 3rd: If a B/P indirectly or passively damages the B/P of any G/I, and there can be steps taken to sever causality without bringing significant harm to LLorPH for any G/I, or the B/P of some group larger than that whose B/P are being damaged, those steps ought to be taken. 4th: If a B/P indirectly or passively damages the B/P of any G/I, and there cannot be steps taken to sever causality without bringing significant harm to LLorPH for any G/I, or the B/P of some group larger than that whose B/P are being damaged, the offending B/P should, regrettably, not be tolerated. 5th: If multiple B/Ps cannot be tolerated together, for whatever reason, and neither directly damages B/P outside of this system, then whichever B/P more greatly protects the LLandPH of people outside of the B/Ping G/I ought to be tolerated, and the others ought not to be. If they are equal in this, then whichever B/P more greatly protects the LLandPH of people inside of the B/Ping G/I ought to be tolerated, and the others ought not to be. If neither protects LLandPH, and neither damages B/Ps, then the protection of B/Ps is prioritized. If these are also equal, then the G/I with more members takes precedence. If these are still equal, none ought to be tolerated. That's most of it. I have some more, and 5th is usually split into like 5, but the general idea is covered. (please don't argue at me I'm perfectly fine to leave your religion unattacked, please do me the same courtesy. I don't mind discussion though)

    Congrats! I'd definitely be judging you if this was an earlier ideal, but it's great for an ideal where you're already so externally focused! super cool

    Awesome. i've just been reeally bored lately and need something Sanderson-related to fill time during my 4th or 5th reread (idk) Got it! No spoilers for later or separate content, and no duplicate info, expansion only. Edit: I see now that I got this wrong. Chapters CAN have cosmere spoilers, BOOKS cannot. Actually, It's my laptop that hates discord. No idea why, but I've been having this problem for a long time. (I realized abt the pinging pretty quickly, sorry) Contemplating just getting discord on my phone, but I like to have all my stuff in one place. Thx for the response.

    I'm sorry to nitpick, but this particular statement really grinds my gears. Proving a negative is impossible if there is a relevant infinity (or unknown) For example, if you wanted to prove "There is no dart on the bullseye of this dartboard" (A true negative, similar (grammatically and logically) to "There is no god") You could prove it by proving that: A: There is one dart. B: Shape X contains the dart No part of Shape X contains any part of the bullseye (All this assumes 2d dartboard, and 1d dart) (some relevant infinities here would be: infinite dartboard(Shape X can never contain a non-zero percentage of the area of the dartboard) infinite(non geometric) bullseye(same problem, but instead, is impossible to rigorously prove there is no overlap between)Infinite/unknowable number of darts (impossible to prove that all darts are contained in Shape X)) Generally this is handled by attempting to prove that one side is more plausible than the other, rather than to rigorously prove or disprove a point Me, personally, I came to the conclusion that a god would be either entirely unempatetic, really *Aviar noises*ing stupid, or non-existant, and I chose the least depressing one for me (please don't argue at me I'm perfectly fine to leave your religion unattacked, please do me the same courtesy)

    Thank you Thank you Thank you Ahh this is at the bottom of the previously linked page, and so made me think those were all wanted subpages: Thanks for helping out so much @Argent Sorry to bother you, but I saw that you were active today. Would this be something Needed, Wanted, Inconsequential, or Actively Harmful to Clarity/Conciseness
  15. First of the Tide
    Thanks. I think I might've gotten confused. I had, at one point looked through some documents that were like "here's how to not screw up when editing the coppermind" and I got those mixed up. I saw this, but it was my impression that each chapter, ideally, would have a page like this. Is that inaccurate? (Sorry for not being on the coppermind editing discord instead, my device hates discord and drains battery in like 20 minutes of being on there)
  16. First of the Tide
    Ahhh I was close...
  17. First of the Tide
    Coool. What order is this? giving 3rd ideal elsedancer Or 4th Ideal Dustcaller
  18. First of the Tide
    Are you going to update this for the newer coppermind interface?
  19. First of the Tide
    I was planning on writing out some chapter summary pages for WoK, and wanted to go over all the rules/guidelines again, but with the new format, I can't find Editor's Corner. Is there a way I can still access those guides?
  20. First of the Tide
    congrats! sound like a third ideal *nudge* | | | vvv
  21. First of the Tide
    Nope! (I did not realize that's how you spell melaan I only listened to that arc) Metahint: Apr 12-Nov 18 (for now)
