Without being able to have an impact on the universe, the preserved memories of a culture are irrelevant. They effectively no longer exist.

This shows how incredibly limited the understand of some is. See, some people used to think the world was flat. It's an old dream to "recreate the Universe in one's image," but that discounts everyone else in the Universe. Which leads to either subjugating or destroying other species, as the Catalyst points out. Us humans already have a history of that, how bad do you think it's going to be when we're in space?

By trying to imprint physicality we remove the ability for others to do the same, but keeping our imprinting to ethereal things, we can express ourselves without limiting others from doing the same. We can still create art, as we always have, and we can continue to grow and develop, but at the same time we wouldn't stop others from growing and developing. This is exactly the problem that the Catalyst solves.

You are a part of the problem due to your limited understanding, due to a limited world view and perspective. You want to impact upon the Universe but you don't realise the harm you would do by doing it. Your understanding is smaller, limited to this world, and present day. My understanding is much further reaching than that, and it takes into account other life and that the Universe doesn't exist just for us humans.

By existing in a virtual sense, we continue to have advancement, growth, and art. We continue to exist. And we don't stop others from existing. This is a wisdom that your children's children's children's children's children will understand. But you won't. It's disappointing, but that's the reality of today.


Such power arrogance! It's...beautiful!!!:wub::wub::wub:

Don't encourage him. I'm surprised that David hasn't made an appearance in this thread. The triumvirate of arrogance is incomplete.

I think I got the mods onto his scent.

I did bait him in a thread, and he gave me the perfect reaction:

He said the world would be a better place if I was dead. I and several others promptly reported him. It didn't get him banned, but he has been appearing less.

so we should have just sat back and allowed the reapers harvest us without resisting?

I can't believe???? WTF????? Someone acutally put the catalyst and Ghost in The Shell in the same sentence. Not only that. But compared the quality of ME3's ending with Ghost in The Shell.

My goodness. Holly rusted metal Batman.

Dumb. Just..... Dumb.

I believe making death threats will get you instantly permabanned.

He didn't make a threat per se, but he did say that the world would be a better place if I was dead.

Here's the thread.

That would have to logically be the bottom line for synth supporters.

I am by no means a fan of synthesis (though I did pick it the first time I played, but that was only because I was so stunned by the Catalyst's appearance that I literally had no idea what was going on), but I don't think it's fair to tar synthesis supporters with Seival's madness.  I would hazard to guess that the vast, vast majority of people who like synthesis are, unlike Seival, manifestly anti-Reaper.

It's not meant to tar, but make logical sense. But yeah, you're right. I'm forgetting some perceive it as a lesser of evils option.

You 'got the mods onto my scent.' That's funny.

I just want to know.... would synthesis... no, never mind. I had this thought about if synthesis would make it easier for them to fillet salmon, but then realized that with synthesis it wouldn't be salmon anymore.

I know. Especially when I got a message from a mod telling me that he would check it out.

Probably. Fact of the matter remains that what you said was really inappropriate. Kind of disturbing that you wish death on a guy on the internet. If it bothers you so much, why don't you just go away?
