>In ancient times a story could end only in two ways: having passed all the tests, the hero and the heroine married, or else they died. The ultimate meaning to which all stories refer has two faces: the continuity of life, the inevitability of death

At the 1984 point? You're pretty much fucked but your best bet is to lead by subtle covert action of passive resistance.
In a time just before total control all you have to do to fight tyranny is not go along with it.
When any tyrannical government comes along, or some wannabe tyrant starts barking orders it's just one or a few guys. If everyone says
>yeah, righto, fuckwit
then they have no power.

Is adopting the ultimate cuckoldry?

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than adopting a child. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are feeding, clothing, raising and rearing someone else’s child for at least 18 years solely so they can enhance their biological parents reproductive success. All the hard work you put into your adopted child - reading them stories at bedtime, making them go to sports practice, making sure they had a healthy diet, educating them, playing with them. All of it has one simple result: their body and mind are more capable of successfully passing on the genes of someone who isn’t you.

Raised the perfect person? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, a close relative of your own who had nothing to do with the way they grew up, who marries them. They get to reproduce with them. Their offspring get the benefits of you adopted child’s kind and sweet personality that came from the way you raised them.

As a man who adopts, you are LITERALLY dedicating at least 20 years of your life simply to raise a person for another person to succeed reproductively. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically.

It depends on what you mean by "god".

That's a complicated question. It depends on what you mean by "God". You see, I believe that that we are here implies to some degree that there are forces larger than us. Now, we can get into the semanticalities...
[smokes a pipe] The very notion of belief itself can be rhetorically whittled to the bare nub of its meaning.
I'd like to talk to you a lot more about this. Would you be interested in reading some of my literature?
