You seem rustled, Moshe, you okay? Sure, I was off by 3% which really makes no major difference. Once a coin clipper always a coin clipper, now go back and flatten some more Palestinian kids in tanks as you and your IDF pals tell yourselves you're all heroes.

Haven't read a single post, but I'm going to guess there's at least 2 people in this thread calling MBTI astrology even though they don't actually understand the history or premise of Myers-Briggs to make any actual arguments besides just calling it astrology.

All health, beauty, intelligence, and social grace has been teased from a vast butcher’s yard of unbounded carnage, requiring incalculable eons of massacre to draw forth even the subtlest of advantages. This is not only a matter of the bloody grinding mills of selection, either, but also of the innumerable mutational abominations thrown up by the madness of chance, as it pursues its directionless path to some negligible preservable trait, and then — still further — of the unavowable horrors that ‘fitness’ (or sheer survival) itself predominantly entails. We are a minuscule sample of agonized matter, comprising genetic survival monsters, fished from a cosmic ocean of vile mutants, by a pitiless killing machine of infinite appetite. (This is still, perhaps, to put an irresponsibly positive spin on the story, but it should suffice for our purposes here.)

Is he really optimistic?

You really typed out all that?

Rand mirrored back at the leftist the behavior he worked all his life so hard to hide from himself. They can never forgive this.
Rand has struck so many chords they will seethe for all eternity, as they have been seething for the past 70 years without fail.

You can dislike someones writing or their ideas or their delivery and not go full retard everytime their name pops up. You can simply say “I didnt like this book“ and move on, you can be indifferent to things you didnt love or like, but here its ain't thusly. Whenever people choose anger and hate instead of indifference, there is pain underneath. The truth in her pages hurt them deeply, right to their very core. Look at what lengths they will go to discredit her. Everytime. Like clockwork. Because they must.

I'm (attempting) to return to the roots of the fantasy genre; historically-inspired cultures with elements of occultism and cosmic horror; no more medieval shit, its been done to death one hundred times; my idea is heavily inspired by the iron age, and instead of taking inspiration from greek or norse myths, its very much inspired by the bible, specifically the OT.

I'm also working very hard on my prose; the standard of writing quality for modern fantasy is absolutely atrocious, I want to aspire for a literary-level of prose and quality of writing, which is why, in addition to intensive world-building, I am also studying literature to form an understanding of how stories are made, and how to imbue my stories with themes–I want my stories to have substance and real meaning outside of fantasy, real literary value even though its a lot to ask for; the "fantasy" elements are more like cake dressing on top of a solid foundation of stories dealing with universal themes.
