"it was a calculated withdrawal, from the life of the Republic, from its machinery. Since they could not have withdrawn into a vacuum (could they?), there had to exist the separate, silent, unsuspected world."

I suggest doing side quests since they usually add some context to the main story, and to avoid outleveling those quests by juggling between 2-3 different classes, so that when you level up you switch...

that's still an easily reversible claim, therefore quite useless.

Plan was to release a volume every four months. This started well until volume 9. And now it got to a crawl and stuck at volume 14 (of either 20 or 21 total).
I guess this is cursed.
Come on, it's now self-published. There are no up to date infos anywhere!

Thinking back on all this I better understand the pain I feel to see science under devastating attack here. It’s not just about my livelihood or my university. It’s about my identity. And it’s about a pursuit that I see as standing along with art, literature, and music as among our highest callings.

Discusssion breeds conflict, therefore discussion is forbidden and conflict avoided.
It's all good, until you figure out you've paved the way to fascism, and it's no longer possible to walk back.

To win this game, you cannot play the game. It's rigged.
To win the game, you have to overturn the table.
To rewrite the premises, to redefine the field.
To win the game you need a new language.

Because when it's a war between two tribes, only strength wins the war. And they won this war because they have no morals, no scruples, no integrity. They fight with WHATEVER it takes. They will ALWAYS win.
It's fundamental reality that has been sacrificed, to win that war. You can't do better.

Same as brining in some youths to do important work is NOT something to use as an accusation. It's actually GREAT to see.
The moment YOU are being manipulated by this tribalism to condemn everything the other side is doing on the simple premise the other side is doing it, is WHY THEY WIN.

To continue on this, the are aspects of what the "other" side that are fundamentally great.
A deep revision of government expenses and complete reevaluation is PRECISELY the right thing to do, if there wasn't Elon Musk turning it in a horror show.
It's the perversion of good principles the problem.

to be clear, the problem is the reversibility of concepts. Us versus THEM. Consolidating identity to weaken the opposite.
The only solution to this is to collapse that identity and destroy the sidedness itself. Avoid the war itself and defuse its principles.
And yes, it's possible (but not likely)
