This is likely an Extraordinary Citizen, one of the ones possessed of enough insight to work with Enlightened Citizens without fear of statistical inevitability, but unable to actually create overly advanced technology themselves.

If you think that plagues are as commonplace as they once were, then you don't know history. However we may rule, it is undeniable that we have shared the benefits of advanced medicine and technology with the masses. And do you really want us stepping up the monster hunting efforts?

If someone is able to see this account, then they either know or should know the actual history. We're thusly invoking the "Come on, we're all grownups here" clause.

Before we came along, the average life expectancy was 30 to 35 years, a handful of empowered people abused their abilities in order to rule the people without sharing the benefits of their power with them, plagues were commonplace, and monsters ruled the night, feeding upon humanity.

Your personal lack of understanding of social psychology is unfortunate, but we don't feel obligated to remedy this deficit at the moment.

All of the technology that we have now was once considered cool. Familiarity breeds contempt. It would have done so with pneumatic tubes as well, and as you point out, with worse consequences when things broke down. That's just how societies work.

The latter, though any technology that predates the official formation of Iteration X by that little can realistically be credited to that Convention considering that it was made up of largely the same people from the International Brotherhood of Mechanicians.

Question for Mage players: Let's say you're creating a character whose paradigm is shaped by the Spiritualist Church. Which works better for you: A Celestial Chorus member with several dots in Spirit, or a Kha'vadi with a monotheistic paradigm? I'm heavily inclined towards the former. #wod #MtA

Also intentional, as it was meant as a skewed take on the idea of Trek's utopia.

You still fall for that stereotype? It's like the cliche about the geek virgin when the nerds I knew in college were fucking each other like crazy. We're good with consensual sex between any adults of any sexual orientation or gender in any number. Just stay safe and be honest with each other.

Yes, but I believe that in this case, the reference was entirely intentional. Or at least that's what I heard. I could be wrong.

Any philosophy that sounds like something that a cannabis-smoking circle of undergrads would come up with at 3 a.m. isn't one worth considering.

Oh, this should be fun. You're at Marianas Trench levels of being in over your head. Also, you never give them a heads-up: It ruins the shock effect of having hundreds of pounds of metal and disfigured flesh crashing through the chantry's kitchen wall.

Yes. The incongruity provokes amusement. If people thought that dogs could be wizards, it would not do so. As the intent is obviously amusement, it reinforces Consensus to portray this as ridiculous. Also? Speak to my Supervisor before you even think of intruding on a Feed outreach project again.

We draw the line at that which we establish to be currently achievable through scientifically understood methods and accepted by Ordinary Citizens in what you would probably refer to as our paradigm. Anything else leads to statistical inevitability.

Yes. Dodgson (or Carroll, if you prefer) meant that as a mockery of "New Math". The man was such a rationalist that he was annoyed by non-Euclidean algebra.

So is CS Lewis, though to be fair, I'm not sure which of us he'd be more offended at using his words to make our respective cases.
