Why did you wipe out worlds?

[nilhilistic]

It was in the way. I needed power and I had to rid myself of humanity to gain it.

[ this is true. it's not the whole truth, but it is true. ]

[conflictresolution]

I see. I appreciate your candor.

[He can respect this requirement to gain power.]

[nilhilistic]

I have no reason to deny or hide it.

[ he does feel guilty about it. at times. but that's different. ]

[conflictresolution]

Most don't admit to genocide readily I have found.

[nilhilistic]

Those people are weak.

It does not cost me anything to admit what I've done.

[conflictresolution]

Well, few of the general populous enjoy getting behind genocidal authoritarians.

Perhaps future alliances. That is assuming that you need them at all.

[nilhilistic]

[ hm. ]

Need them for what? I assume, regardless of . . . feelings, everyone wishes to leave this place. No one wants to be ruled by some distant overlords.

[conflictresolution]

I do not wish to leave, nor will I allow myself to be ruled by anyone.

[nilhilistic]

You wish to stay here? Why?

[conflictresolution]

I'm dead back home. This is all that is left.

[nilhilistic]

And you trust this world to keep you alive?

You would have better luck choosing another.

[conflictresolution]

I trust this world sees value in my presence, alive or dead.

[nilhilistic]

. . . Not the people in it?

[conflictresolution]

History has taught me that people aren't particularly trustworthy.

[nilhilistic]

. . . You are a person.

[conflictresolution]

Yes and?

[nilhilistic]

And it means that your gaze is clouded as well.

How long is this history of yours? A hundred years? Two hundred?

[conflictresolution]

It means I recognize my own untrustworthiness.

[nilhilistic]

Congratulations.

But applying it to a broad category seems like a glaring weakness.

[conflictresolution]

I've yet to be disappointed with the assessment.

[nilhilistic]

So you've set yourself up for future disappointment?

[conflictresolution]

No. I prefer to be the change that I want to see in my future.

[nilhilistic]

And what change would that be?

[conflictresolution]

Build a better world.
