4000 years ago you would’ve been a feared warrior. Now you take instructions from a program manager in a resort pool

This is great progress. We need fewer feared warriors.

Fear sounds bad until you imagine being the one who is feared. Think it over
Is there not a way to have some sort of, I dunno, majesty? Respect, if not that? Like you won't hurt people for no reason, so good people aren't afraid of you, and no one will assail you either.
How about you imagine the ratio of feared warriors to those fearing them, and then think over your assumption about who you would be again

You can’t be taking this seriously. I refuse to accept you’re that dumb.

Nah, there's something seriously wrong with anyone who wants to be feared.

yeah you personally would definitely be a feared warrior and not someone who died of exposure after your tribe shunned you for being too irritating

Genocide and imperialism sounds really bad until you imagine yourself as the conqueror
Get real, humans haven't changed much in thousands of years. The "Feared Warriors" would've had plenty of people mocking them, calling them Wankers. PTSD existed back then, too, so whatever bonuses there might be in being the "one who is feared," the warriors were still broken.
It's the other side of the same coin.
And the ones who'd've been feared would be the program managers now.
