I'm surprised you got tired of the stupid decisions if I'm honest.
I wasn't aware the characters were making any.
Wouldn't surprise me if even Unicode advices against using Roman numerals depending on meaning.
It was mostly a joke (though frankly if you try any implementation more complicated than that joke you're going to have a bad time).
Education has really failed to impress upon people the importance of asking questions. It's amazing how much time is wasted on making people learn answers to questions they don't even know how to ask.
If the story of the garden of Eden is anything to go by I'd say that the creator definitely both made those things and very clearly instructed us not to use them. Either way if logic itself is evil then any logical argument cannot possibly apply to a purely good being.
Of course I'm in camp snake, I'm just playing divinity's advocate.
If you place killing an ideal beyond implementing your own you're making exactly the same mistake.
The best we've come up with is to try to ensure people are educated and well informed and only a majority can make certain decisions. Not all countries are doing too well on all 3 (heck the U.S. doesn't even manage to ensure decisions require a majority) but if an ideal gets accepted under anything resembling those conditions then killing the bigots is no longer an option.
You can pretend all you like the problem is that there have been leftist wack jobs that very much did exterminate people for political gain.
Things would be so much easier if we could simply argue about ideology without anyone getting the 'clever' idea that you can simply exterminate everyone who disagrees and end up with a harmonious society of people all working towards the same ideal.
