I'm not sure yet. I'm not sure I believe much of we've been told so far. Or, I believe it's one version of the truth and there could be others.
[So, this is guy is making his own lists.]
This is not colonization, it's exploration? Although you could argue that those two things are just two sides of the same coin, since humanity has never really explored anything without turning around just after to colonize it. Invade it and subjugate the indigenous people while slaughtering their pets. I get that and I get that this is something we shouldn't do. But the alternative, is sitting here and hoping the World Eaters will decide to just not show up this time around. Whatever the spirits can or can't do, it's not enough to remove that threat. So, that means we can do things that they can't - it could be speaking, it could eating canned foods, since most spirits seem to like things sweet and not savory. Or it could be because we can work together towards something, that we can pool our resources in a way that they can't. Or won't.
I was not looking for combat, I was looking for a way to keep us safe. You might not be able to see the difference, but that doesn't mean that it isn't there.
