Yes, yes it does.
I dunno, this is an ascending scale of innate power. Sounds like privilege to me
You could have a point. I do not think it can be denied that Cthulhu comes with an inherent position of privilege what with him driving anyone who looks at him instantly insane…
They just have more time to waste! The data is misinterpreted! Maybe it’s my mortal-complex speaking.
To be fair, I know at least one interpretation of LotR where Sauron is simply rejecting the elves’ fascism, but what do I know?
I just need to find the secret for immortality … during my mortal lifetime.
You and Ray Kurzweil.
I remember when he came out with his book about staying alive forever and it was just him talking about all the supplements he took.
Dude really needs to come to terms with mortality.
This just confirms that the older you ge the more conservative you become
Nah. I’m 47 and if anything I’m further to the left than I used to be. For example, I never supported Israel, but I was also tempered by my dad’s and grantparents’ fervent support of Israel (they Jews in Britain during WWII, waiting for the Nazis to come over and throw them into a camp, so I can’t blame them) to not criticize them like I should have. The older I got and the further away I got from their influence, the more vocal my opposition became.
You might take the Q&A with Frank Lloyd Wright as a counterexample (abridged, emphasis mine):
Q: Do you think that you are at any less rebellious, less of a radical in your art and life than you were a quarter of a century ago, Mr. Wright?
A: Rather more so. Only more quiet about it. Warren McArthur, a very good friend of mine, once said to me, “Frank, hear, you don’t have to paint your shirt front red and stand out in the street and holler about this,” and I began to think it over and I think he’s right.
If it is right and if it is good and it is sound, it’ll defend YOU if you give it a chance.
Lloyd Lewis came to me once when I was rolling the reporters downhill in a kerosene barrel to get rid of them. “Frank,” he said, “these boys have to live. Don’t you understand that you’re bringing all this down on yourself just because you haven’t got the wit to be kind to them and to see that they’re sent out here to get something and if they don’t get it, they may get fired.”
He said: “It takes all kinds, Frank, to make a world.”
And so I began to give. Here I am, giving again.~~
Bear in mind that in this interview, he is looking back on a life full of accomplishments, and had to overcome strong headwinds at times. The other snippets on the page linked above can give you an idea of this as well.
The Doctor was in his 200s when he stole his TARDIS.
Or was he? Apparently he’s infinitely old and has regenerated an infinite amount of times or something like that. I can’t even keep up anymore.
I’m out of date, honestly. I dropped during Capaldi and haven’t found my way back yet.
Spoilers ahead:
Yes, the doctor as you know them could be argued to be billions of years old. That being said, arguments could also be made that they are only maybe a couple hundred years old.
I havent seen any of the newest releases, but on his most recent outing david tenent split into two. So you could argue that that created a new doctor, which is the one we follow now.
It’s definitely the same Doctor. The new season made that clear.
I can still put together a plan for success.
Step 1, become a dark lord of chaos…
Sauron was evil in the first age too
