Oh come on, guys.  It's almost stereotypical among certain philosophical schools to take on just this view.  He could be a daoist or a stoic or maybe he just thinks those other guys are sophists.

I assume you're playing an old version of Dwarf Fortress, since there is no philosopher in 0.31.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

Yup, 40d. I haven't bothered figuring out the new military screen yet.

All the new features are so much worth it. Besides, the military isn't that hard to get into :D

In order to improve the universe's frame rate, we must all throw rocks into volcanoes and then do absolutely nothing, worldwide, for a week, to take pressure off pathfinding.

I'm a fairly new player.  Picked up the new military screen without much trouble at all.  Figuring out how to set up food and drink industries or mechanisms like pumps stacks and such are way more difficult initially than figuring out how to set up squads, schedules, and equipment.

Maybe people should love for the sake of loving, and not with all of these optimization conditions.

Same here SalmonGod. I think the main problem with the military screen is older players being used to another type of military system.

Yeah, also I have a decent fort going in 40d and I don't want to give up on it yet, I have clowns, chasm, magma, flux, obsidian layers, and all civs send regular visitors. Elf traders are LOL. If they don't take my offer I just seize what I want.
