Deliberation

That's what I meant when I said all of your deliberation on the matter was meaningless and that you are basically just shuffling papers around.
Hym "Yeah, like... If the Anti-Spiral is active, all of the deliberation you're doing, talking to eachother about what you are going to do or how you are going to handle this, none of that is going to matter. The people who are making the decisions are going to be dead soon. You have literally wasted all of this time and you sacrificed the lives of the people beneath you so that you could continue to stall for time that you continue to waste by deliberating over something over which you have no say. You're trying to negotiate with thermodynamics. You're arguing with a lightswitch. And for what? A delusion about your own importance and the importance of your role in society. The necessity of remaining above me conceptually. Even if you are really not."

Deliberate

Speaking of Alex. Maybe I got this wrong. I'm coming at it from the wrong angle I think...
Hym "See, I'm coming at it from the contingent angle when I think I should be coming at it from the random angle... Let's run it through... When it comes to brain activity... Is it determined, yes or no? If no then it's random. If yes, then what is that determining factor determined by? Ok. So that least me to think: I decide to eat something. If I'm hungry before I eat then you can say my decision was contingent on my hunger and I don't control my hunger, therefore, determined. But if I forgo eating when I'm hungry then what? What could that possibly be determined by? What us the decision to forgo eating contingent upon? If nothing, is it random? Am I randomly forgoing food? If the decision to forgo eating is not contingent on anything, is it random or is it deliberate? Can't be both. Can't be neither. I have food. I could eat. Why am I not eating? Is it random? I don't see how it's impossible to make a non-contigent conscious decision... To not eat. And you can say, well, if it's deliberate, to you control the neurons that are telling your mind-brain to not eat? And to that I say, I don't need to manually combust the gas in my engine to control where the car goes. Internally, I'm doing (deliberately) what equates to pressing the gas and tilting the wheel. I think there's some conflation going on here."

They were so deliberate that they wasted the time of the people willing to help them.
Their deliberate nature caused a situation that both missed their window of opportunity and interfered with the flow of the workers.

Deliberate asymmetry

That's cute I like the wavey shit going on there. Makes you look like a Pokemon gym leader or something.
Hym "I like the deliberate asymmetry. It looks nice. Say, did he shout 'I am Hym' when he came or no? Because, if not, their not doing it right. The daughter bang by proxy doesn't have the same impact if they don't do it right. It doesn't demonstrate what the other ones have to look forward to. I did write that one down? I'm pretty sure i wrote that one down...."
