(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

the future is real, and this would elicit a critique (from a redditor who doesn't care about vibe) you're dealing with universals if there's a causal chain between now and the future (and how people will behave in the future)

I am basically just pre emptively yelling at people for running simulations with insane metaphysical parameters incorporated into their ontologies. While also doing a lot else, but that's the double secret hidden subtext of everything.

But they will literally create guys to get mad at, not just imagine them!

Kids are replicas of past successful life forms though. Made up guys to get mad at are mutilated fictions designed to look as bad as possible.

fictional straw-men still embody *some* knowledge, or they wouldn't even be recognizable as metaphors kids violate even their parents conceptions of them, they are more than "replicas"- and in that deviance from replication, we become Mad At Them

It's that sliver that makes them mutilations instead of just alien creations

creation, arguably, relies on mutation and one's mutilation might be anothers mutation
