Thinking about the different relationships characters have with “Truth” in Axiom’s End and Truth of the Divine...

- For Nils, truth is a human right but some people are more human than others. Nils’s slogan is “truth is a human right.” But his actions in TODT paint him as either cognitive dissonance-ing himself away from his own lies, or as a blatant, corrupted manipulator. Truth is a human right, except when he secretly blackmails Kaveh, schemes to indoctrinate his children for gain, and requests political favors in exchange for information. 

- For Kaveh, the means to truth do not justify the ends if the means cause more suffering than the ends prevent. Kaveh worked with Nils on at least one of the same projects, outing government atrocities that Sol was wrapped up in. But Kaveh believes this is a truth that needs to be outed to save lives and hold the government accountable, not to get his name in an article or book. When he has the truth of what Nils is willing to do his own integrity as a truth seeker and human being helps him make the easy decision to never want to work with Nils ever again. 

- For Cora, lying is seen as a way to protect herself and protect others, but if she goes too far it does the opposite. Cora tells little white lies, usually in the pursuit of peace. “I believe you,” she says when she doesn’t believe somebody, but doesn’t want to fight. She manipulates and minces interpretations of Ampersand’s comments for the sake of keeping peace. Her omissions of truth rarely cause great harm but neither do they ever help anything. However, as her illness progresses, little white lies snowball until she’s lying about the state of her own mental health, until she breaks. She hurts herself and her loved ones by proximity.

- For Luciana, it feels like telling the truth has only caused harm in the long run. Luciana wants to believe in her own goodness, and therefore cannot conceive that she would ever do something like breaking a NDA or hurting her family. She’s so concerned with being correct that she hurts her family, anyway. And still, that truth hurts. 

- For Ampersand, the truth will only make you suffer, so omission is an act of self-sacrifice; his instability for your stability. Ampersand always lies by omission, telling half truths or distracting from the real truth. He’s exactly like Cora but to the extreme, omitting truth because he believes the truth will hurt those around him. However, he’s gone so far down this hole of omission that his problems never get solved; he hurts himself, he hurts all his loved ones, and he knows he needs help but feels too broken to seek it. 

- For Nikola, there is no reason why he needs to lie or omit; the end is near, anyway. Nikola only tells the truth, as he understands it. His truth is pessimistic but his actions optimistic, something Kaveh notes about their friendship. When he says he’s ready to die but takes care of his body and mind, he isn’t lying about wanting to die. He wants to have hope but he is compelled to let the humans understand the odds of their hopelessness, all the same. 

- For the pequod superorganism, truth is a tangible thing they can hold in their hands, and they consume it like their sister-species “consumes” planets. The general pequod society, if Nikola is right, thinks that they can keeping going and going and going, that the universe is a black-and-white thing they can pull apart. But Nikola sees it as something bigger and incomprehensible than either pequod or human beings. There is a divinity- the unknown- which they can never touch. But the superorganism will keep trying to understand, anyways. They will destroy themselves and the miracle of other intelligent life in their endless pursuit of black-and-white.

- For the human superorganism- particularly the USA where the story is set- truth is only a tool. General Porter thinks he deserves the truth on the basis of his position of power and very likely his ethnicity and sex. He wants to use it to kill people. The general government agencies depicted, including ROSA, think they deserve to know everything they can squeeze out of Ampersand, even at the expense of their alien guest’s health. Political parties want the truth by any means to use it for their own political campaigns. Even those with less power- middle class to poor people- use truth and speculation of the truth for their own agendas, to discriminate against others, particularly Jewish and Muslim communities. The truth here does more harm than good, fought over like a commodity, manipulated and repurposed. You have the truth, now what? “He was a hero,” “he was a species traitor,” he’s great for views.

#axioms end #axiom's end #truth of the divine #TOTD #noumena #im not sure how to place sol's relationship with the truth #he doesnt seem to be a liar nor an omitter hes just along for the ride #however he DOES have an accurate lie-dar and i think he knows cora has been lying or omitting for most of the books #even if he doesnt always know the exact depth of her omission hes been trained on lying and probably assumes lying of most people

Thought for the day :

Do you thrive on social interactions or do they drain you ?

I want to try something!

I'm sure I'm not the only creative on this site who gets, on average, at least one new idea per day, but there will simply never be enough time or resources to actually bring them all to life. In my case that would mean writing full fics out of every idea. Never gonna happen. And a lot of (dare I say majority) of writers struggle with the fight of either having a bazillion wips and never finishing them, or forcefully restraining themselves to one or two wips at a time and thus not letting their creativity fly where they want it to.

I've tried both. I think I've found a solid middle ground to work with, but I still sometimes feel bad not writing all the good ideas I have or anguish over not finishing a wip.

I want to fight that feeling. I don't want to feel guilty or whatever about either option! That's why I'm gonna try to start documenting my ideas, so I can look back on them later, so I can give them the time of day and then let them go, so I can celebrate creativity instead of suffocating it or letting it suffocate me.

Introducing: TOTD (thought/thot of the day) diary 2024.

Why am I making this everybody's problem instead of goofing off on discord like I've done so far? Well, I hope that by posting on tumblr I can, occasionally, perhaps even encourage some of that sweet, sweet social interaction with fellow fandom friends. And also because, in my opinion, there's too much of that "when are you gonna finish X? / part 2 pls / I didn't like that ending / why aren't you posting more art / etc. etc." type of pressure put on fandom creators, and by posting extremely unpolished, unfinished shit, I aim to prove that it can still be fun and inspiring that way too! And also because my gold nuggets keep getting lost in the mess of DMs, I am making an attempt at being somewhat organized.

The format is as of yet unclear but I'll figure it out as I go. Let's see what happens!

Obi-Wan thought of the day:

So its canon that Obi-wan is good with mind trick, influence, putting others to sleep, etc

How far does that influence go? We don’t really see Anakin do the same kind of things Obi-wan does, so does this mean he has a propensity for mental force abilities?

Is it easier for him to read minds, feel others thoughts, emotions, influence them? What else can he do as someone who has these abilities? As a general, has he used these in war?

Au idea: Obi-wan becomes incredibly proficient in mind influence by practicing and natural ability, to the point that Qui-Gon becomes wary. He cautions Obi-wan to control and limit his abilities, and he does over the years, until the war. Desperate times call for desperate measures…
