if I were a physicist I would simply not become death the destroyer of worlds
I can't believe someone replied to argue that am becoming death the destroyer of worlds was necessary, good even. "FOSS" in bio, go figure.
Being a pacifist leads to a lot of tedious conversations because I'll say something like "man I feel like we'd have fewer problems if there was less violence", and then a violent person will immediately reply with a contrived hypothetical situation that they think is a witty takedown that proves the necessity of violence, and it's just like, an example of yet another problem that was caused by violence. Or something like that. Like, cool beans man.
@aeva Being a total pacifist makes perfect sense if you are in a position to ensure that nobody ever uses violence — and for that, you have to be a literal god. If you aren’t a literal god, you will quickly run into the paradox of tolerance.
