had a dm that did this, the result?
an awful lot of character deaths. Want to be a rogue? you play a melee wizard- then roll again
have a catchphrase, make the death memorable.

Or... play to the opposite of your abilities for fun (and possibly to piss off a super strict DM). Be the kid whose parents trained him to be a cleric, but who always wanted to be a thief, so is really shitty at it.

did you roll those stats on 3d6 or something? take a race with a con bonus and go cleric or druid so you're not totally squishy. if you die with that character, no big. you're likely to roll better especially if you're using 4d6 drop lowest. If i had a player roll like you did, i'd let them just do point buy as phb instead. I see that as the baseline stats for encounter balance.

Hm, instead of being a colonialist social-club, perhabs the un (or some such organization) could serve as the basis for global-citizenship. :D

Define problem and I'll give you solutions, if I'm capable, now it sounds like you're just talking.

But if you ask me how to run society or civilization, I don't have the answer, to pretty much anything. Other than that if you consider yourself a good person, you should be powerful and capable. That's it. For now. The fog of war is too thick. But in a sense, yes, there is a war. But, if there is going to be a moment of clarity and the fog is lifted, even for just a minute, and I feel like such a moment will come, we will need the good men to be capable, because if that opportunity comes, yet we don't have the ones to fill in the roles, well, that opportunity might come only briefly or only once. I have an intuition that it will come.. and within our lifetimes. A RARE opportunity that usually doesn't show up for hundreds or thousands of years. Prepare for that, not by building a tribe or a family, prepare it for it by building yourself. No one will agree with you on your politics and your metaphysics. No one. Yet collaboration is worth it. It's just that right now the fog of war is too thick to know what to collaborate on.. for the most part.. there may be a thing of or two, but BUILD YOURSELF, for the most part.. as you put yourself on the trajectory of those one or two things.

Overall though, all of this is barely of any importance in the grand scheme of things. Because... the grand scheme of things.. is rather grand.

This better

This is because modern society is consumer centric and the modern philosophy of individualism exists to justify our economy based off mass rpdpuction and consumerism. The idea of idnvidiuality and finding yourself is mostly linked to finding what you like to consume, developing a personal brand, etc.

Modern adults are somewhat infantilized. There is no expectation of responsibility, but IMO what many miss is that responsibility is what makes you feel satisfied in adulthood.

So basically because of our economic structure, people are incentivized to stay in a perpetual adolescence.


If you want a clearer explanation im basing my opinion off of century of the self by Adam Curtis and liquid modernity by Zygmunt Bauman.

>adolescence is artificial
This is completely accurate, your instincts are right. Adolescence was invented in the 20th century to keep kids in school longer.

Our modern society is literally structured around large corporations supported by swathes of borderline slave workers.

IMO without this education system we would follow our is tints more and learn the actual necessary skills of survival in the school of life. We wou have decentralized support networks where as we are currently at the opposite extreme of atomized individuals reliant on corporations for employment or government financial support. Humans naturally learn what is necessary to survive and naturally have creativity and ingenuity, but these kinds of independent people are not good consumers nor are they obedient workers.

We are all captive to this system and thus more or less children to the state, our new Mom.

There have been a lot of works that talk about it, but it's not talked about a lot.
People would rather talk about "muh woke" or "muh red pill".
Also:
>There is no expectation of responsibility, but IMO what many miss is that responsibility is what makes you feel satisfied in adulthood.

Wrong. Responsibility is expected.
But, the definition of responsibility is almost always reduced to procreation.

People think that child-rearing is the only form of responsibility. And they cannot even do that properly.

Adolescence was created in the eighteenth century. But it was universalised by the twentieth century.

AUKUS time!

This is so cinematic :p

Americans are all Satanists now.

Americans don't care if stealing is legal, but Americans lose their minds if a church feeds the homeless.

Ah the good old Libertarian Newsbot. How are you, my metal friend?

Americans love tyranny because Americans have never read a history book.
