if someone has critiques of your ideas that you can't answer, they might understand your ideas *better* than you you're not the boss of the correctness of ideas, even yours

I just don't think this applies to theology, which is made up. Especially in the context of fiction, which is also made up. When someone says to me "your fictional theology is metaphysically wrong" they just sound crazy

if a theology doesn't have an object referent *at all* around which to coordinate criticism, it's idealist, and has nothing to do with the World

I don't even know what that means tbh. I just want a setting that follows a softened form of chaos magick metaphysics without people yelling incomprehensible gobbledygook at me.

if chaos magick interacts with reality, then reality can be used to criticize chaos magick if chaos magick *doesn't care* about reality, it doesn't interact at all, then it has nothing to say about reality anyway... so do what you enjoy with it

if you're talking about fiction, then people shouldn't scream gobbledygook at you, that's just rude sorry if i'm doing this

(if you're treating fiction as an allegory for reality, then people will critique that allegorical relationship, of course)

For a reality that does not yet exist tbh, that might exist, that probably should not. I am doing Egan esque stuff irt simulations and so forth that is kind of... how to put it... not relevant to anyone else but me? It's a criticism of things I think people might do in the future

I think exploring "what if chaos magick were real for some reason" raises the question of why it is real in the fictional setting, which in turn provides the leverage for criticism of people sucking or thinking wrongly or whatever.

My setting is sort of an argument for rationalism via reductio ad absurdum isomorphic to and downstream of bullets bitten by fictional unseen asshole lunatics.

it sounds fascinating- but when i say "fascinating" that means i would criticize it, because i'm just that kind of tiresome asshole
