"Philosophy doesn't work that way."

No more than any other superpower. That's just how they do.

Fixed. Don't confuse the will of the state with the will of the people - ideally they should match, but 'ideally' is just one of those tricky situations that rarely match what practically occurs. Not all of us are after your rights.

I was told to start off in the Dream Cycle before advancing into the Mythos - they introduce the sort of unique style and universe. But everyone has their own way of getting into Lovecraft I suppose. Edit: Diving right in isn't a bad idea either. Once you're comfortable with the author, it...

Instead of quoting the blocks, I'll just refer to each premise individually, if that's okay with you. I doubt anyone else is reading our posts, but I'd like to continue this conversation anyway - anyone else can refer to the previous posts. "This is sort of an outdated viewpoint..."...

I never said the mind was off-limits. I'm simply saying that our current social sciences are... ill-equipped... to handle the research we expect out of them. Nor am I claiming a dogma, I'm stating that there's a certain interconnectedness that's obvious in the natural sciences that is completely...

It is unfortunate that I do, otherwise I'd have no hostility towards the social sciences. Unless it reduces to physical law, it's just not a thing.

Pfft, what a waste of funding. Call me when the social sciences can say they no longer look for trends, but can find actual laws which themselves can be reduced to physical ones. Until then, unless a Natural scientist says it (and it's peer-reviewed), it's likely malarkey.

Animals are non-rational - it is better to save a rational animal. I love my cat and all, but it's the very fact that it cannot understand this reasoning that a stranger would be saved before it :(

Naturally, I wasn't suggesting an augmentation to your biological life, but rather that to access to such a power would grant you access to greater technology. Also, your 4-dimensional extension would be changed, given the right conditions, such that you could, technically, not cease to be, but...

I don't see Time Travel on there... You could squeeze it into invulnerability but it warrants its own slot :) That's all you'd ever need...

Since it is sketchy at best that anyone existed in history with his particular specs, I'd say no. Besides, I think we've seen what his "party" is capable of. I think I, and my colleagues in the natural sciences, have got this. On a related note, we'd love more funding - you know, to...

I agreed with everything up to this point haha! Good show and a right proper solution!
