My interpretation was that the original sin was "eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil" aka developing consciousness. Once you have a consciousness and see the world in terms of "right" and "wrong" it's very difficult to go back, so people blindly stumble forward never questioning what good and evil really are because it requires an amount of self reflection that could lead to psychic suicide.

Agreed! I apologize, I didn't mean "love" in the interpersonal relationship sense. I meant it more in The Beatles "All You Need is Love" sense.

I hate when people don't realize love is powerful enough to make people question everything, including themselves.

My bad, I meant the activity depicted in the picture (popping a wheelie to try to impress a girl) could easily be from a pre-internet time.

Right, I guess I mean I don't see how the sentiment of wanting to show off for ladies has really changed that much post internet. To me this picture speaks more towards how motorcycles impacted simping, and I'm pretty sure that's the whole reason motorcycles were invented.

In what way? Guys popping wheelies to impress girls was definitely a thing before the internet. I'm pretty sure that's why the wheelie was invented.

Sometimes it's just fun to write fanfic regardless of who you think is stronger. If the characters have strong motivations good stories are bound to unfold.

God's priorities are weird, but they make me feel seen. :)

Uh, yeah, I thought that was the point? There's nothing more maddening than looking at all the terrible things in the world and still deciding that living life is worth enduring.

You have to be divinely insane to accept all of the bad and all of the good that reality presents to us seemingly without any greater reason or purpose.

Mystery exists outside of the simple world of "good" and "bad".

During the AI goldrush you can make your fortune selling bookshelves.

Can't blame you. I put a Windows PC together again just so I could play Helldivers 2 a bit more consistently. There's nothing wrong with wanting to enjoy your leisure time.
