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."
