Why should I break my addiction to fantasy? Why does truth not exist in fantasy? Why can it not be artificed?
>>
There is some truth in fantasy, but it is an incomplete representation of reality.
>>
Reality sucks, so reveling in dreamworlds is only natural
>>

Natural doesn't imply that it is right, war crimes are natural.
>>
>>680481
it's not really correct to call anything humans do natural
>>
>>680528
Well I think there's two ways to look at it, humans are part of nature, and therefore everything we do is natural, or arbitrarily dividing things between natural and anthropogenic.
>>
>>680528
Every observable phenomenon in the physical world is natural
>>
Go read a non-textbooky telling of the Punic Wars. Better than any fantasy.
>>
>>680552
but then there's no reason for the word to exist
>>
>>680564
The world exists, do you know why?
>>
>>680569
no
>>
>>680571
Then the reason for it's existence is a separate thing from the fact that it exists?
>>
>>680558
>better than any fantasy
I don't know about that, but it certainly is an enjoyable read
>>
>>680564
Words don't need reasons to exist, they just do
