I'm fucking infuriated. This kind of attitude is why suicide rate in Japan is so high.
Everything is all about trying hard and achieving results. In their eyes there are no excusable setbacks. It's always because you don't try hard enough.
I do find one thing important: mass manufactured ships are for common people.
You of course have more stringent requirements, such as smuggling, 1v5 combat, perfect 30LY jump, manning full crew, or something similar. Those showroom stuff won't cut it.
Is this from the Nintendo part or from the Of America part? (As in, is this Nintendo philosophy or just because it's supposed to be that way in the US?)
Not an authority but I was raised as a Buddhist child. Just clarifying a little here. Yes, Buddhism is non-theistic, in the sense that it does not regard any being as supreme. (Not even the Buddha.)
In Buddhism, heavenly beings exist but they are not supreme or authoritative. They are also subject to old age, decay, death, and reincarnation. Basically they're just another part of cosmology, and of course you get reborn into different things.
In fact, there are instances where heavenly beings asked the Buddha for advice. Of course those are just tales, but it kinda illustrates hoe Buddhism works.
But they are no gods and have no authority over man.
That's not "a little."
