<snacky> soulinhades: ok, here goes
<snacky> soulinhades: once upon a time, the creative forces of life tried to take inputs and convert them into things more special and more valuable.
<snacky> soulinhades: but, wherever there was something creative, there was parasitism. for example, about half of all animal species diversity is attributed to parasitic species. also, wherever there are people living and creating and inventing, there are other peope parasitically stealing from them or enslaving them or ruling over them.
<saucerfilm> the last time i saw an appreciable amount of sn0wflakes was 1999
<snacky> likewise, a huge proportion of human communication traffic consists of deliberately destructive traffic designed to hijack and squander other peoples' resources.
<snacky> this is why eventually civilization will collapse. the end.
<snacky> I should clarify that such a collapse of civilization is not attributable to me casting a spell to end the world.
<Radical> not necessarily, anyway
<snacky> so this isn't just a variation on my earlier story, although it is related subject matter
<snacky> saucerfilm: the only good news is that maybe if everything is destroyed, there will be a fresh start, and while parasitism will gradually re-assert itself and win in the end, until it does so, the new world will be creative and full of life.
<snacky> um, that was the epilog. the end, FOR REAL THIS TIME.
