I like reading Caesar
Now that I'm 70% done book 1 it's starting to make sense now properly.

Don't you ever get bored of doing the same thing every thread. Just sperging out that LLPSI is used by people and that nobody uses Gwynne's Latin

You need a high iq like Caesar

Of course biology restricts you from doing absolutely anything you want. However, it sadly won't stop you from raping and killing, unless you:

>>16048777
find it unpleasant, or fear the law. Of course, if you want to rape and kill, you probably don't fear the law or will try and hide the act. There are other acts less restrained by our biology that are still viewed as immoral (as of today), such as bestiality or pederasty. It's easier to take advantage of an animal, or child, no?

Such an innate morality is not actually found everywhere, or in the same way. Many of the differences between moralities are not even minor. For one culture in antiquity, it is right to eat their father's corpses. For another culture, it is wrong.

>Also in many religions the gods or god allow or command what we would consider unacceptable...
Yes, it is right.

>if there is a god/gods then everything should be permitted...
No, because the capacity to change everything does not imply the will to do so.

>if there is no such thing your actions matter as they are permanent, murder is permanent and so is causing pain. it cant be wished away by god.
God won't wish away your actions, they're a part of your eternal soul. Furthermore, if there is no God your actions don't matter; you're just pissing pain or pleasure into the void. Their "permanency" pales before the eternity of nothing, and eventually fades into nothing as well.

If everything is moral, then what is the use of morality? You're just relying on people's squeamishness and fear of the law

>>16050058
That is correct, because the tail is attached directly to the dog. Your morality is the equivalent of a dog moving his legs as he chases rabbits in a dream.

>>16050151
It's not self-evident

>>16050404
The compassionate are more likely to be taken advantage of. Compassion with measure is fine. Of course, not being a hurtful, unfeeling ass will expose you to more danger, but being the opposite won't make you immune to it altogether, either.

It's not a persona, I really just don't care. Nobody has the energy to "dox" me, and if an agent refuses me because of my connections to this shithole, then I don't care about their rag anyway. If things take a turn for the worst, I'll just take my writings elsewhere. There's always someone who's not so scrupulous when it comes to the material they publish.

>One glance at the 4chan wikipedia page is enough for normies to think you a completely deranged individual.
But I am a deranged individual

>And god, the publishing industry has become increasingly PC in the last five years.
Yeah, they've demolished the taboos and strictures of the past (against promiscuity, violence, anti-Christian things) and erected new taboos. That's not a problem to someone who lives life as if it itself were a work of art

>Supporting Caesar
Literal pleb behavior. Supporting the republic is the patricians choice.
