Re: Organic portals - do they really exist?
The first part brings also to mind Jordan Peterson and that he teaches his students to get aware of that anybody can behave cruel and soulless so to speak, unless you get aware of that part and that it can exists as well in yourself and can play out in certain circumstances.
Sometimes it could also go that far that even people that behave sociopathic/psychopathic may be just souls in struggle.
Scottie said:Yeah, I think there are also probably variations and details to consider.
A souled individual can "lose it" and become ponerized, go full Nazi, and commit unspeakable acts.
Someone else with no soul might be very good at being a "good robot", which might be how they grow a soul, so to speak.
A third person might be 50/50. I mean, who says it's OP or Not? In this case, the person would struggle just like everybody else, and they could also go either way: evil or good!
And then maybe there's 25% OP / 75% souled... And maybe it can even change over a person's lifetime.
So, I don't think it's anywhere near as simple as OP = broken, souled = human. A full OP could end up acting with more humanity than a souled person, no? We don't even have a strict definition of OP because it's basically theoretical at this point. I'll take a robo-human pretending to be good over a souled human slaughtering people any day.
In the end, we don't even really know what it means to "have a soul" or to "grow a soul", so it's all kind of theoretically interesting, but practically much more difficult to deal with effectively.
