Not currently, no. Are you opposed to it?

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

I suppose we'll see.

@Legend

I have about a million thoughts running around right now.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

Perhaps, but knowledge of capabilities and actioned abuse are worlds apart.

@Legend

You don’t plan to take action on your own accord, do you?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

My point. If you wish to live by a moral code, live by that moral code. If you wish to live by structure, join or create said structure. If you wish to reject all of this, you're free to do so, and you can adopt any contradiction, thought, or creed in its place. However, none of it will be assigned for you. No structure, by justice or otherwise, and no tenets, true or false. You must take those up yourself.

@Legend

I never really thought of myself as in a position to assert my beliefs like that on the world at large. It just sounds weird. Feels weird.

*Nods*
I agree completely. But similarly, countless others die while you, so far, have not. Does that forfeit your right to live, as much as any "right" can exist?

@Legend

*Mumbles*
Well, no…

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

You have as much a right to it as anybody else.

@Legend

Sure, that I agree with. But more ability to act on that right than most.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Whatever you decide is in your best interest, I would assume. Broader Existence is an anarchy, and we can but do what we desire.

@Legend

I don’t even know if I feel like I earned the right to have that power.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

And you’re able to enforce that feeling if you so choose. You certainly have that ability.

@Legend

But where’s the line? If I know someone did something wrong, sure, but what about gray areas like this?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

And who would stop whomever is given that power, should they choose to abuse it? “Who watches the watchers” is an unsolved problem.

@Legend

I don’t know. It just doesn’t feel right for people who are at a certain level to not have to be liable for anything.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Ought they? Accountability necessitates a social hierarchy.

@Legend

All I’m saying is, if no one does, who stops people like that from just running over everyone else who can’t stop it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

With all due respect, the suggestion amounts to detaining a man in a quasi-legal system to evaluate his actions and deliver a corresponding punishment. To what end?

@Legend

I mean, who holds anyone accountable for anything, for what reason? Who holds people accountable at all when they exist like we do? But someone ought to, right?
