Bah, CEO Aaron! Your just jealous that Mr. Morgan has never had a thread like this! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!

You know, I do wish people had better appreciation for the true wisdom of Morgan's quotes, if you ask me, Morgan has a much better grasp on the Human condition than Yang ever will. Where Yang instructs us to suppress and deny our humanity, Morgan tells us to embrace it.

Yang's solution to leadership is to oppress his subjects and preach to them to ignore the suffering he inflicts on them. Underneath all his Taoist/Mind-over-matter trappings, he's just another ruthless despot. His quotes are indeed compelling, but they HAVE to be. Without his sagely mumbo-jumbo, no one would be fooled by his despotic charade.

I guess that capitalists hate communists even more in the new world. But why put Yang in punishment sphere?

I don't hate Yang because he's a communist, but because he's a tyrant. While I do believe that communism is a fundamentally flawed economic system, I will grant that no one has ever really tried it.

Hey, hey, hey, don't take this too seriously. I've seen enough internet philosophy arguments for two or three people.

Amen to that, my brotha. I still remember the "Mellian Wars".

And morgan wouldn't take everything away from you the moment you became a business rival ? He'd utterly destroy you, just like Yang would do to a political rival. Yang has a good grasp on humanity and sees it for the **** it is and urges us to try become something better.

This is really getting too serious. Shall we start a new Cold War? Ot perhaps a warmer one
At least we have a good idea for a new ACDG -> ACCW
(cw=cold war for drones).

We just need a person in this thread who will start to preach about advantages of green economics. Volunteers anyone?

Well, you're not going to get any good picture of a society if you judge it by how it treats its enemies. I'm judging Yang and Morgan by how they treat their citizens. Regardless, we're pretty off topic at this point, so I'll shut up. Mebbe I should start a threat taking a poll of what everyone's favorite Morgan quote is.

'Get off my land, you peacekeeping sunova...'

Where is that poll?
But Morgan is the funniest guy in SMAC (where do you want your node today).
