Power is to act with legitimate authority.
To have power is to have said legitimate authority to act.
A power center (our "institutions") is the structural-functional organization of the legitimate authority that acts.
@Kastor64909096@ShitpostRock Idk, they'd probably take away the wrong message and try to redo Jack but for a "modern audience" and cash in on self-referential humor.
I hope that for 3, they lean into the corporate horror and politics, and the side content being the weirdoes in their wake.
@ReviewsPossum "Weird sci-fi" pulp story with three societies of varying tech development, supernatural elements, and the protags mirror Western myths.
@wotancore@CaribbeanRythms I would hazard that the "Crusader" powers are what constitute Europe. Those would be France, Germany, Italy, and England, with an honorable mention of Spain for the Reconquista and continued confrontation with mohammedan Africa.
@thebencheah I don't think he's political in that way.
Inception is structurally a movie about making movies where the plot mirrors a metaphorical movie. The Prestige is about tricks as it plays a trick on you.
Defy the Gods could very well be referring to the gods of Hollywood in parody.
@BisonBonasus2@lickofcow I see. I'm glad that you inded have breakfast this morning.
I'll refer you to penguin necrophilia and Hindu cow-piss drinkers so you can further explore moral intuitionism.
Otherwise, this is fruitless.
@BisonBonasus2@lickofcow I explicitly mention that feelings like disgust can bolster (reinforce, help, emphasize) a moral law/principle/axiom.
If disgust is enough, then there would be many things that are considered normal today which would fall into the "immoral" category.
@BisonBonasus2@lickofcow Because the argument is about morality, not feelings, legality, or hygiene. Morality runs on principles, laws, and axioms. Things like disgust can bolster a moral law/principle/axiom, but not be the basis of it.
@BisonBonasus2@lickofcow Couldn't make it to the third sentence of a three sentence reply, huh?
I'll remember to take your reddit-tier opinions more seriously in the fututre.
@signalpestt I wouldn't mind a Prequel era KotOR set in the Outer Rim. Jedi faction with sentinels in planets and the odd guardian/consular, gangs, a factory planet for the clone army equipment (Star Forge echo), sith rumors, "weak" Republic.
