"First precept of Magic's 'argument', Being does not determine Ought. False. Ontological basis for adjudicating normative good is the only means." "Maintaining ontological consistency is necessary to any mode of thought. First, the only way to weigh reasons is to understand the being of the agent making the decision. We must understand the status of beings before we can posit things towards them. And, something has to be such before it can be moral. Second, all normative statuses are relationships where we can exchange reasons with another. One has to "be" such that they can express reasons to others, so one's interactions to others are determined by the ontological status of all involved. Third, Being comes before all other properties because every ethical theory relies upon some conception of Being. Ontology isn't just some overlord of all thought, it is the only way to access thought because different theories of ideology are contingent on different ideas of what it means to be. For instance, utilitarianism says that we are all rational utility maximizers who value pleasure, and then because we are that we ought act in a way to maximize utility. Acting in a way contrary to that Being is thus immoral." "Fourth, my designation is Goddess of Justice. I alone may define what is 'good' or what ought to be done." "Fifth, my designation is Goddess of Order. Something is disorderly solely when called such by me. Do not act as if you have a right to define my domains." "Second precept, listening to a voice is needless. Beginning with observational comedy. You fit the criterion of being a 'strange enigmatic voice telling someone what to do'. Hashtag wrecked." "Further, if your statement is meant to refer to some voice appearing as a result of my Ascension, you're more hopeless than I expected." "There is no voice. A voice, a separate partition would only be created if I were afraid or incapable. I am whole. The voice is my voice, and in this mind there is merely one. I will what I will, and nothing more." "Then a nonsensical appeal to 'we can't kill each other for no reason'. False, there is a reason, it is one of the rules. It is a law of reality, created simultaneously to our existence, as ironclad as the First Edict. To defy this is to defy your own essence, but if that is your aim I'm happy to take your title from you and allow you to return to a human life without harm. Of course, you'd never take that option, would you?" "It's disgusting. All your power to destroy, and yet you're so [i]fragile[/i]. An exquisite glass figurine at the center of a maelstrom." "Your arguments are useless, your split is weak, your existence is contradictory. Find and verify the condition, or fight to the death. These are the rules."
