is ahab an unusually humane captain? i've read a few other nautical books (whie jacket, redburn, two years before the mast) and it seems like the captain almost never interacts with the crew aside from adressing them as a group once or twice throughout the whole voyage.

Could you guys please recommend me other books that feature characters like Captain Ahab, someone who is singular obsessed with a goal or a quest, somebody who is super single-minded and ruthlessly dedicated to some outcome?

Justify not being a Protestant without using the following excuses:

1. Traditions, even traditions that superseded older traditions, are more important than theological justification
2. B-but what about X Church!

I guarantee everyone here are just LARPers and would never call themselves Catholics if it required any real commitment

Daily reminder Ahab did literally nothing wrong
