"Great" writers like Celine were just decadent upper class decadents who had violent fantasies they were too scared to act out. Napoleon was not particularly bright or interesting. Any US general alive today could have been a better Napoleon. Hitler was a british agent and had a wealthy father

All these people were just born in privilege. A truly great man would be able to rise from the very bottom with ease. Why have we never seen a pauper become the pope? Because great men are not real

How can you be sure you have killed completely your ego?

Because I think I kind of not longer have ego.

It feels like you don't give a fuck about anything, but you give a shit about the goals I have set for myself I deem I actually want them.

Also you lose no sense of like fear of death, I no longer give a shit about the opinions of other people I don't deem close to my life.
And you don't even feel the need to socialize beyond maybe 4chan.

It's like living in full I honestly don't give a shit mode.

It's possible to write a story in a videogame where the main characters, likely a group of 4 characters have a fixed linear story, but there's a group of secondary characters who have a non linear type of story.

Basically use the first fixed linear type of story as framing device to tell the big stakes and provide the context.
While using the secondary group of villains and heroes as the padding material to create the meat of the story, but telling it in a non linear story with multiple sub endings, likely being able to save or lose these characters in the story, which success or defeat doesn't affect the big major framing story, but likely provides emotional context for the player.

I am just asking if such idea already has examples I can study.

> I have opinions about writers and philosophers that I have never read before.

Explain Heidegger’s philosophy to me right fucking now

I recently applied to nursing school and have been waiting for my decision letter. It should have arrived by now and I’m worried something is wrong. I’m thinking of emailing the school on Friday if it doesn’t get here by then but I’m worried that I’ll come across as an asshole.

I fell in love with a man...
