Well, no…

@Audacious

My point. If you wish to live by a moral code, live by that moral code. If you wish to live by structure, join or create said structure. If you wish to reject all of this, you're free to do so, and you can adopt any contradiction, thought, or creed in its place. However, none of it will be assigned for you. No structure, by justice or otherwise, and no tenets, true or false. You must take those up yourself.

Sure, that I agree with. But more ability to act on that right than most.

@Audacious

*Nods*
I agree completely. But similarly, countless others die while you, so far, have not. Does that forfeit your right to live, as much as any "right" can exist?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I don’t even know if I feel like I earned the right to have that power.

@Audacious

You have as much a right to it as anybody else.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

But where’s the line? If I know someone did something wrong, sure, but what about gray areas like this?

@Audacious

Whatever you decide is in your best interest, I would assume. Broader Existence is an anarchy, and we can but do what we desire.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I don’t know. It just doesn’t feel right for people who are at a certain level to not have to be liable for anything.

@Audacious

And you’re able to enforce that feeling if you so choose. You certainly have that ability.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

All I’m saying is, if no one does, who stops people like that from just running over everyone else who can’t stop it?

@Audacious

And who would stop whomever is given that power, should they choose to abuse it? “Who watches the watchers” is an unsolved problem.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I mean, who holds anyone accountable for anything, for what reason? Who holds people accountable at all when they exist like we do? But someone ought to, right?

@Audacious

Ought they? Accountability necessitates a social hierarchy.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

He could be held accountable for any potential wrongdoings.

@Audacious

With all due respect, the suggestion amounts to detaining a man in a quasi-legal system to evaluate his actions and deliver a corresponding punishment. To what end?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I still genuinely don't know how much punishment you can take right now. Maybe it would have put you in great danger.

@Audacious

I'm not referring to physical threats. Assume we could capture him quietly. What then?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

You really believe that?
*Looks down*
Hmm...

@Audacious

I think that, regardless of what he said, the other paths we could have taken put us at a much greater risk.
