I believe the first two are a given, being respectively Tse and Chrollo, but who do you believe is third ?
I'd go with Illumi I think although Hisoka's not very far behind
I believe Girard's interdividual psychology can be, or should be, either interpreted or developed in a metaphysical direction. I hope to write much more on that, but I will save that for a later date. Here are some sketches of an apologetic contra the problem of evil.
(1) The mimetic theory offers a surface level theodicy of both natural and moral evil. The moral problem of evil is dealt with by denying the primacy of aggression and demoting violence to the status of an accidental byproduct of our openness to each other.
More controversially, I believe the same logic can be applied to a great deal of natural evil. Rather than undermining God's provident and good teleology, natural selection reveals that a great deal of nature is a parody of teleology. "Survival of the fittest" is a tautology: each of the two terms of the phrase are defined in terms of each other. This is not to say that we were not largely formed by natural selection, but it is to say that those aspects of nature "red in tooth and claw" result from an aping of teleology.
Thus, evolutionary biologists correctly speak of the function of relations of predation, rather than using the theological language of purpose. This mirrors the sense in which the function of archaic religion and scapegoating is to maintain order.
Nature's violence is often given the same theodicy as capitalist economics: scarcity. Scarcity is an allegedly purely natural fact that in the right quantities causes innovation and balance of resources through competition. However scarcity, just like natural selection, is tautological. The conditions of scarcity and natural selection--excessive population, finite resources, and competition--all presuppose each other. Finally, it is just false that scarcity is required for variation and innovation--just remember the logical structure of music.
None of this is to deny that nature has actually gone this way--just as human relations have become violent--but it is to say that natural selection is not teleological is either the factual or normative sense. Therefore, its occurrence is purely contingent. Biological death due to aging, for example, is not built into the nature of life--it is built into the nature of competitive resource relations among species.
(2) The mimetic theory allows us to understand a sense in which evil is pure privation, and thus requires no ontological ground. However, we learn from the mimetic theory that no one is originally, or th

In Alliance and Treason it was a big deal that the grisks dominated their client races into willing / coerced slavery and made a point to discuss how grisks always aim for the closest threat even when it doesn't make sense. We don't see this behavior in Lesser Evil. They don't have any of the aliens fanatically brainwashed and the grisk fleet doesn't behave like they did in later decades. Smaller details, grisks in Imperial Era don't hide their bodies anymore and they developed gravity well technology. It seems like a large change in the grisks after only 18 years, thats the kind of change Thrawn would be more likely to attribute to the Paataatus. I don't get the feeling reading Alliance again that Thrawn had intimate history with the grisks or even that he knew their existence as more than myth.!<
Does anyone else feel a disconnect between these two eras?
I am about to yeet my iPad across the fucking room along with screaming. What girls or Memoria would you advise that I use because Iβve changed several girls at and at one time I did make it to the final level just to lose. Most times Iβm not that lucky and strike out on the first level. I know on the first level it is imperative to get rid of the Dark Element Elephant (lesson I learned after time one). I would really appreciate any help.
I don't like it all that Judkins wants to be the 'victim': everybody is at fault except him: there wasn't money for anything, the time pressure, the COVID, Robert Jordan wrote 'too long', and 'too complex' books with 'too many characters' (and they were too white!) and 'too many locations' etc.
If you are not able to get proper funding, proper writers, proper producers, proper designers, proper time managing etc, then 'maybe' the whole showrunner thing is not for you...
