Defenseless slave race, always inservice to others, but not having any enemies in particular.

Humans relentlessly conquer the galaxy, inspiring fear and hatred amongst all those which encounter us.

[Hubris Incalculable]

We humans possess one undeniable talent; we are stubborn as all fucking hell.

Especially the Dutch.

Now I'm imagining a universe ruled by the Dutch.

Don't tell Nigel Powers.

[Xantalos]

Yes, yeeeeesssss.....Carry on!

[Xantalos]

Whatever you cute little monstrosities can imagine!

The problem I have with this choice is that it falls into the logical fallacy of narrowing down millions and millions of possibilities to just 2 choices. In reality, there is so many more situations that could occur.

Logical fallacy implies it was unintentional. I made the number of choices narrow intentionally.

No it doesn't. "Logical fallacy" does, however, imply being used as the basis for an argument. I don't think this is an argument so much as a thought experiment. So while it is a false dichotomy, it's not so much a fallacy.


Thought experiments can make up whatever arbitrary rules they want. That's the point; to force your mind into thinking about difficult scenarios.

You say it like it's a stereotype, but I wonder where it comes from...

I'm one of the 9 who actually voted for the first option. Am I weird for not wanting to spread hate?

Edit: some explanation: the wording of the statements led me to believe there are multiple others, therefore option 1 is being enslaved to one race, and friends with all others, and option 2 is enslaving all other races, including peaceful ones, we encounter.
