can't it even be more obvious thomas. why are you surprised that a sudrian historical site filled to the brim with armor and weaponry that dates back to the middle ages has old people afflicted with the gold dust working around the castle

#thomas the tank engine #thomas and friends #ttte glynn #ttte millie #ttte stephen #casa tidmouth #senjart #MORE OF LADY'S EXPERIMENTS GONE WRONG #WHO UP ULFSTEADING THEIR CASTLE #stuff for the kotr arc of casa tidmouth. now this is where gold dust has historical significance #going crazy right now. my friends are influencing me #I had 12 tabs opened just to draw young glynn's armor. they dont have plated armory in the 10th century!!!! only mails!!!!!!#(looking at you KOTR intro)#I remember reading some inputs on my 1k milestone poll and saw someone put ''the misery of growing old'' and honestly. Checks out #glynn's eyes are goldish brown because well. that's the perks of being the first bearer of the gold dust horrors #lady during 989 AD do not know anything about human thoughts and ethics and emotions. she was literally freestyling that!!!!!#Oh a wounded soldier on the verge of death. what if I *dumps 200 kg of gold dust on him* yeah that'll do the trick.#then she saw how glynn aged so so slowly and went Oh well I messed up. Good thing there are lots of other sudrians here #funny coincidence that young cstm glynn's helmet resembles canon glynn's funnel #I wanted to make millie's design resemble a tour guide more with her scarf and more stylish than usual tie #shes so pretty. I'm so proud of her design #(AND I REALIZED TOO LATE THAT HER TIE HAS THE COLORS OF THE FRENCH FLAG)#<--- said the guy who has beef with the french #stephen's crown is translated to a hat decor! was about to draw a top hat but whatever just imagine he has a collection of various hats #that he can put his crown on #also I want to give him that cool hip-with-the-kids I-am-still-young-at-heart energy #sir robert norramby is balling in the background.#hope you enjoy..... won't be able to draw as much from now on but I'm excited #also whos ready for old man yaoi........... 2!!!!!!

wasn't alfred a hedge fund manager? i get where ur coming from re: the class divide post otherwise btw but am somewhat stumped ab this bc he was definitely the one making the most money and likely highly educated as well, and ended up a cav. ig it is STEM/nonSTEM divide?

hi! yes, alfred was a hedge fund manager — he was also augustine's brother and so comes from a similar (presumably very wealthy) background. this exception doesn't really disprove the rule to me: either way, john was disproportionately likely to make people who were highly educated necromancers and people who were not cavaliers. i want to walk through a couple possible reasons for this.

the first possibility is that john (1) believed that people who were more "intelligent" were more likely to be able to understand necromancy and (2) implicitly believed that people who were academically high-achieving like scientists, lawyers, doctors, etc. were more "intelligent." clearly, john and the lyctors all seem to think pretty highly of their own intelligence. john in particular went from being a poor māori kid to being an accomplished scientist, and i don't think it's a stretch to say he probably believed he deserved it on the basis of intelligence.

in contrast, both alfred and cristabel have their own talents and intelligence disparaged — john describes alfred as "useless, but a darling" and augustine describes cristabel as "not hav[ing] the intellect you'd ordinarily find in a sandwich or an orange." additionally, necromancy is talked about in scientific terms, which lends itself to the idea that you might need some scientific understanding to be good at it. i think it's entirely possible that john consciously decided that some people wouldn't be intelligent enough to hack it and made them the cavaliers, a problematic assumption chiefly in that it equates academic achievement with innate intelligence.

the second possibility, and to me the more likely one, is that john simply made the people closest to him necromancers while making people he wasn't as close to (essentially his friends' friends) non-necromancers. it's pretty clear that the people john made necromancers were people who directly worked on john's original cryogenics project with him, while the cavaliers were all people who got dragged into his cult by those original project members. alfred is a perfect example of this — he's there because he's augustine's brother. other people have made posts about the possibility that john did this to intentionally separate his friends from the people they loved.

but either way, i think this demonstrates who john as a character cared about. john, as a successful scientist, surrounded himself by people who were highly educated and successful, predominantly (as you note anon) people in STEM. people who are disproportionately likely to be white, neurotypical, and cis, or at least disproportionately likely to be able to conform to white/european, neurotypical, cis standards. not only is john not as close to people in his project-turned-cult that aren't as highly educated, but poor people aren't present at all. there are no janitors, no retail workers, no manual laborers, no farmworkers. i don't get the sense that john ever really unpacked his internalized biases or questioned why he primarily values people who are highly educated.

"but," i imagine my hypothetical reader who's somehow made it this far protesting, "of course he's surrounded by highly educated people. he's working on a cryogenics project!" well...precisely. tumblr user sophelstien's scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds essay touches on how this project demonstrates that john is not as progressive as some people assume he is, but what i'll say here is simply that john didn't have to make the people in his cryogenics project the leaders of his new society. and by installing the very people who our society rewards into positions of power, john — consciously or not — shapes the new society he's creating with the old society's inequalities.

#asks #tlt #realizing as i write this out that i have a lot more thoughts on what the people who john made lyctors says about the nine houses #like as anon points out they're nearly all in stem #and i think that has some crazy implications for the nine houses that tie back to john's disregard for pregnant people #on the cryogenics project which evinces a disregard for scientific ethics more generally #(which is also seen in the human experimentation on canaan house)#i also have a lot of thoughts on the supposed necromancer-cav intelligence divide #that i think fandom really buys into as you can see in people who believe pyrrha must be a necromancer #and on what john prioritized when shaping the culture of the nine houses #but i think this post is long enough #also would you believe i accidentally inserted a poll halfway thru this post and couldn't get rid of it so i had to like #copy paste all my individual paragraphs into another program discard the post and repaste them all here

Just had a MASSIVE debate about this specific trolley problem so i am here to gather info from the public. Please vote honestly, and if you need further clarification, please ask, and then vote. If your answer is still too nuanced, there is a too nuanced option, but i ask you do share your answer by replying or reblogging, as your input is incredibly valueable.

You are driving a trolley/tram, there is a split in the tracks and you must chose what direction to take your trolley. On on track there is a cat you know and love tied to one track, and on the other, a human you have never met is tied in the same fashion. You cannot stop. You must run over one. There is no way the one yoh choose can survive. You CAN pause/freeze and think about it, and you can ask any questions necessary before choosing. !! This is entirely hypothetical and does not in any way influence real life, no one will be harmed by your choice in real life /srs !!

Would you save a) the cat you know and love

OR

b) the human you have never met

You MAY and are ENCOURAGED TO share this to other platforms to get a wider answer pool, but please, only vote here (so that the answer is clear)

#poll #hypothetical #the trolley problem #philosophy #ethics #this is something chidi from tgp would be worried about #i got very upset about this while debating it #my cat > any human #i love my baby #please vote #share #sonnys opinions

@doomed-bythe-narrative

this is stupid but i had a lot of fun following the tournament and making propaganda so i wanted to make something after mike's defeat

comic under the cut for implied 115 spoilers and other vague misc spoilers (also bad art /hj)

and then 114 happens

#it's too late i think i lost the punchline whoops #rip mikey you had a good run. ngl very doomed of you to lose a tournament #losing to daniil is better than losing to a dog though sooo #also thanks to the runners for running the poll y'all are underrated #this isn't funny but it made me think about edgar's stance on iterations and ethics regarding them so it ended up being a win anyway

Say one was to invent a machine that physically ages and de-ages humans. The moral quandary arises; is it morally acceptable or not to have sex with someone who uses the machine to reverse their aging

This is about scientific ethics, not whether or not you personally find conclusions of various results disquieting. Do not derail.

#random concepts #my polls #scientist consulting hys ethics board of tumblrinas without any philosophy degrees in sight #moral quandary #morals and ethics #scientific ethics #sci fi #also is it morally acceptable to have sex with someone you physically age up #mad science #mad scientist #look im just fascinated with impossible machines #i have a few questions about mind reading machines and time travel machines also

so i've been thinking about the universal translator as depicted in star trek. a UT has to do two things: help the wearer understand and be understood. it's easy to imagine how it helps the wearer understand -- it's embedded in people's minds somehow, so it messes with their language comprehension centers to give them the meaning of what they've just heard/seen. but how does it help the wearer be understood when they're talking to people who don't have the UT installed to help them understand? i can see two possible explanations:

option 1: the UT edits sound as it comes out of the wearer's mouth (or their motions if they're signing/writing)

option 2: the UT telepathically (?) goes into the AUDIENCE'S brain so that THEY understand. it doesn't change anything about how the wearer communicates.

cons of option 1: there are probably some languages whose sounds are impossible to make via human mouths (i think cardassian is supposed to be one of these languages).

cons of option 2: probably considered extremely invasive by some; wouldn't work for species that are psi-null; requires that the UT can figure out how to translate a new language AND a strange species' language centers all at the same time.

personally i lean towards option 1, but i'm curious what you guys think!

also because this is star trek there's a GOOD CHANCE this has been explained canonically and if so please let me know!

#star trek #intertrek #sb and l rambles #polls #universal translator funtimes #yes this is why i've been thinking about it #the fic goes with option 1 but i realize that's probably an unpopular opinion #PERSONALLY i think it's less plausible that the UT casually edits the perception of newfound species #like surely we would've had SOME episode about the ethics of that #but who knows! i do acknowledge that i don't know what a UT in scenario 1 does when talking to bug-people who communicate--#--via the pitch of strategic taps to their exoskeletons #(or other sounds that humans can't hope to replicate distinguishably)
