Yes, exactly. You cant make 100% of the people happy 100% of the time. The moon was launched around 20 years before the book takes place so the riots and mobs of angry protesters have calmed down. Also, before electricity prices were skyrocketing due to the amount they were using with all of the new technology (Most everything switched…

I’m probably not going to be the best at giving advice on color and character. Color I feel is arbitrary unless there’s something special about it, like the combination of the two metrics in some way. Character we’ve discussed in the past in many ways. I’m not really sure what advice I could give that you don’t already know.

As for the…[Read more]

I haven’t read it yet, but I’ll probably get to it sometime today!

Hey Sara, is that your story that KP just posted?

@acancello

Well, my main idea was to have it look as ‘natural’ as possible so that the citizens would be more open to the idea and allow it to happen while not realize the dangers that it has the potential of causing.

I feel like they would need to do a little more convincing to make the populace complacent. There will always be resistance, and…[Read more]

Ok, so here’s the thing. This looks like a combination of a Dyson sphere and a space elevator. The issue you deal with is that a “moon” would be a very impractical shape for collecting energy, unless it isn’t actually spherical, or it wasn’t connected by some cable to the earth. So is it spherical, or is it more of…[Read more]

Welcome to KP!

I’m the Arcane Axiom, I love math, searching for divine fundamental truth, and exploring that in my writing. I read/write sci-fi/fantasy, and am currently working on a universe with my sister called the Septrum.

Questions:

Do you lean towards hard or soft worldbuilding? (Hard meaning concrete rules for the…[Read more]

What’s CWW?

@jonas

Okay, cool! Thanks!

Any time!

Those number systems hurt my brain! 😵‍💫 I think I’ll stick with simple base-something systems!

Alright, fine😅

@jonas

I’d have to look back over all my words so far, but I know that the name ‘Thulac” has it unvoiced. I’m guessing it varies depending on the word, like in English.

Ok cool!

 Okay, that makes sense. Do you have any tips on what words I should create? So far, I’ve pretty much just been creating words as I’ve needed them, but do you have another…

@jonas

Somehow I completely missed your progress on your conlang on here. December was really crazy for me, so I guess it makes sense, sorry😅

So you’ve already got a lot of words down, so that’s really cool! Quick question, how is ‘Th’ meant to be pronounced? Is it voiced, like ‘that’ or unvoiced, like ‘math’?

So you’ve followed English’s rules…[Read more]

The problem is that for people who don’t consider the Bible entirely reliable, they could argue that anything they want is inaccurate. They already do that with His miracles.

True. At the same time though, I don’t find it unreasonable to have skepticism towards towards the accuracy of any historical writing, even biblical. The difference i…[Read more]

@jonas

It bothers me so much that people say that, because if you understand the culture and tradition of the time and the language being used, it becomes obvious that He did.

Right, and many simply discredit the “I Am” because John is regarded as the least reliable book, but there’s many indirect claims to His divinity throughout the other…[Read more]

*appears from nowhere*

I’ve wondered when you’d show up on here, I knew something was bound to ensnare your interest!

The flaw I see in that argument is the second premise. You have to accept some sort of multiverse theory where every possibility exists in some reality.  Furthermore, if the definition of “all powerful” includes being able…

@everyone

So Alvin Plantinga’s Modal logic for God is essentially the modern ontological argument that many consider to be far more convincing than Anselm’s.

Here’s the gist:

1. It is possible that there exists an all powerful being that created the universe.

2. If something is “possible”, then it does exist in at least one reality.

3. An all…[Read more]

I guess it would probably make the most sense to have all the powers be something similar, where the user redistributes a property of their body to other parts. That could be pretty cool, I guess. I could do this as sort of Feruchemy, but you just redistribute attributes across your body instead of storing them away (where you lose some of…
