My brothers and sisters. We cast aside these trivial weakness of mortals and replace them with strengths of our own. I stand before you not as better, not as a lesser, i am a factor. A factor of power, destruction and change.
Like death, the phoenix is eternal. Like my name, Darasuum, its meaning of forever changing. death is eternal, but never the same. When a phoenix dies, it is reborn from its own ashes. Death is a different path, one we will tred as death incarnate, as the Phoenix Federation.
There are those that usd their abilities as a means for their ego. But an ego is an ignorant lie. Ego is a weakness. Do not be weak my brothers and sisters. Be the factor, the factor of death, be the phoenix.
Hm. And what path will you have this "factor" tread, Mr. Darasuum? More than a little of your ... imagery ... seems essentially Federal. |

The Phoenix Federation is where my allegiance lies. All four factions of New Eden have their flaws, which is why I do not side with them and chose the life of the mercenary.
At the same time each faction is where it is now because of their unique implimentation of strengths. Though I find your statement, maybe your request, vague. What is it you seek?
Clarity, Ms. Darasuum. Insight.
In this particular case, several of your remarks might be taken as philosophical, if not religious. I am curious whether we are dealing with a seeker of insight, a would-be visionary who believes she has found a shard of insight and wishes to share it, or a marketer.
As you might guess, as someone who seeks clarity, I'm not all that interested in marketers. |

Ah-- hm. Apologies. Actually, I had noticed. Somehow, my text forgot.
Quote:I am not religious, but I am philisophical. My lifestyle has morphed into one where philosophy is symbiotic, and it can sometimes be dangerous for someone who has to take orders from time to time. Haha.
... I see. Your philosophical bent has been unwelcome in places?
Quote:I am not selling my ideas. If I did there would be a copyright symbol flashed after every sentence and a lawyer behind me.
That was never really the suspicion, Mr. Darasuum. The suspicion was more that you are employing philosophy as a gimmick, rather than a genuine focus.
People have been known to wax poetic when recruiting.
Still, that appears either not to be the case or to be sufficiently distant from it. Were I less attached to my current position, I might be interested. Sadly, my own concerns are inconsistent with a purely mercenary, unaligned outlook.
There are things I want protected. If you cannot help, it seems you will be at least worth talking to from time to time.
Quote:like anyone else, I think my current way is best. But unlike some, I recognize the next way will be even better. It is for that reason that I stay open to new ideas and debate with my corpmates, friends and even rivals so that my introspection can evolve into a better state of being. I believe that if I share these thougts, facts, statements, etc, then people will follow on their own and eventually come around to my way of thinking if not get ahead of me to an even better one.
If an individual or group of individuals do not or will not recognize the insight presented then they are quite frankly ignorant that in some part has to do with their pride and ego. They would be unwilling to change but it is a universal rule that things change. Their ignorance of the universal way of things would be seen as a weskness which would be eventually exploited and potentially removed along with their existance depending on how stubborn they are. Those that don't evolve, die off.-áSounds harsh now that I hear it outside of my head but the truth can be that way.
There are a lot of people who miss a lot of insights a whole lot of the time, Mr. Darasuum. Many Federal insights are no doubt lost on me because I do not see the world as they do. My own sense of what it means to let go of ego is bizarre to most Federals.
For that matter, the Blood Raiders as a society cling tight to one very specific insight that they insist encompasses all of reality: the value of power. Miserably, they're close enough to right for their outlook to be a functional one.
Come to think of it, they decorate their views with language similar to yours: the language of survival, advantage, and weakness.
It's perhaps difficult to describe seeing all the glories of the universe in terms of power as a weakness, but it seems an unnecessarily harsh way to weigh the value of, for example, a friendship. Then again, they also focus on ego, where you seem to discard it.
What purpose do you see yourself as serving, if it is not ego? |

Edited for key characteristics.
Wherever you go, it seems such people and their arguments are always the same. That said, I wasn't really expecting this tone from a Gallentean. It's usually seemed that Gallentean reactionaries have tended to make their arguments in terms of portraying the Caldari as barbarians who threaten Gallentean freedoms and such, rather than a naked appeal to blood and group identity. |
