Oh my God Humanity became a memetic hazard on the level of Cthulhu. The Xeno leader recognized a very important piece of intelligence before going full invasion. What blasphemy is this?

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

hmm....thats open for debate though since , before there was any sentience in that universe ,none of it was being 'bent' so....the humans effects of understanding how physics works when not affected by psionics..ontop of having a grasp of it on itself it seems one could say they are not as much a memetic hazard... as something that is immune to a memetic hazard infection that became so wide spread so early that it became the norm for at least one galaxy worth of societies ,right ?

“Great Emperor, product of incest“ Now that‘s a great way to start a letter.

[@nightrunnerxm393]

I can think of a few current world leaders many people would like to write letters to that start that way...

[@PoldaranOfDalaran]

Sounds like something the ancient Greeks would have opened with. :P

[@anathardayaldar]

Story 1: This is the perfect explanation for an idea I had long ago: Fantasy land full of magic, and the arrogance that power brings. Then appears a human from our real world. Everywhere he goes, he nullifies all magic because he brings "reality". So dependent were they on magic that their muscles and reflexes had atrophied and were helpess against the moderately fit human. Peasants are free to vent their pent up rage for revenge against their rulers. If anyone wants to write this up, be my guest. I have no talent in writing good dialogue.

[@markuhler2664]

An anti-magic field is more dangerous to mages than a magic field is to muggles. "... product of incest." Lol. Dumbass would probably be proud of that! The admiral was smart enough to know not to attack with bad intel but dumb enough to run away at an obvious bluff. That makes him a genius as far as aliens go.

[@silvadelshaladin]

Smart admiral -- REALLY smart admiral. He will outlive his emperor.

[@Kualinar]

He may even live his life to it's natural end... IF he's smart enough to stay well away from any battle, or immediately surrender if forced into one, AND have enough time to do so.

[@SC-zq6cu]

Ah, so thats why the orks in 40k are kinda dumb. If they understood statements like "color of paint is just lights of certain wavelengths reflecting off of a surface and in no way affects the inner mechanisms" then humans would probably have a new unit called the "questioneer" just to deal with orks.

[@JeRefuseDeBienPrononcerBaleine]

Fun fact. Red IS the fastest color in most situations.

Greatest weapon against orcs is a child in the "why?" phase. Lol But got t be careful the orks don't successfully apply the "rule of cool" and convert them to their side with the strength of their imagination.

Do not ask of the Eldar. I MEAN humans. For they shall give you three answers - each true, and each terrible to know.

[@silvermoonlight4520]

the first story is sorta like the orks from 40k but way weaker and more timid

[@Nyghtking]

It's like anti-orcs, everyone else is the orcs but humanity is walking around destroying them by just pointing out the holes in their logic.

Commander: Marine, how did that Ork Berserker get through the line? Marine: Well sir, at first he screamed "I'm invincible" then he plugged his ears and charged us screaming "You no hurt me".

True. It reminded me of this story about you Orks doing repairs in space and dying after being asked by another crew of Orks how aren't they dying without suits

[@RealArcalian]

Greetings, Mentlegent! For the Rhythm that is Algo Story 1: Yeah, there was another story based around this concept before too. Except it was the humans believing the science that made it real. Story 2: Now THAT was EXCELLENT

[@davidatkinson47]

1: Humans are Cthulhu. And that story says a good deal about why, even to us. 2: It's bad enough when we try to rule each other. History shows us what happens every fecking time. Learn. Then let some xeno try. We won't even let them learn. Love you Agro, and I'm glad that you're doing better.

Finally caught up to the latest episode. Congratulations to the 1500+, and hope for many more.

Sorry I was a bit late

[@AgroSquerril]

No worries and thank you :)

[@zacharyhawley1693]

I think that'd be kinda sad everyone else gets gods and fricking psionic magic but we're stuck with just natural law and antipsionics.

[@badbloodkiller3471]

Probably for the best, think about it; Humanity's endless imagination coupled with psionic magic?

[@loganshaw4527]

Mankind become a race of God's. That was all the was missing to make things of imagination real.

So this is the opposite of the story where Human "tech" works by our Universal Belief and is impossible by the rest of the Galaxy's science.

Man, sorry I missed the live program. Got distracted. I always love your work and can't wait to be a contributor once I start working again. Your readings are fantastic, I enjoy your reading voice. Also your large works on the other channels are great, give me something to listen to while I do hard work or do my workouts.

[@AgroSquerril]

Glad it helps :)

[@cedric3973]

@@AgroSquerril you do great work in your reading, it makes lots of hard work like mowing and laundry speed by. Keep up the hard work. There's lots of stuff you have done where I enjoy it so much I will listen to the story once a week. Like when deathworlders meet and when deathworlders visit. There's a guy who's writing a continuation of that story that's about 35 chapters in but it has a few explicit chapters otherwise I'd ask for you to read it once I become a contributor. Keep up the hard work, you can be proud of this. I always upvote and try to comment for the algorithm.

[@yomogami4561]

thanks for the stories and narration

[@vocalsforever]

The 1st story is "red makes it go faster"" The orks of 40K

[@MrGoesBoom]

Huh... for someone that seemed full of himself and already patting himself on the back on victory in a fight that hadn't even started this Admiral actually seems to have be pretty smart. Pity, I hate smart enemies, just drags things out

[@beingsneaky]

Yeah I have always had a theory that humans universal rules/laws work because we believe that's how it works the way things should be.. and in the first store why don't the humans realize it's because they believe there are rules, that that rule is true.. gravity vacuum of space nuclear fusion and fission. Etc. Etc.

[@mcarrowtime7095]

I hope you’re joking/don’t actually believe your hypothesis about the rules only existing because we believe them to exist, because that argument has the structural integrity of wet paper. Same goes for how the humans rules in the story worked.

[@mrmonkeyman412]

Funny thing, the mass psychological thing, it works because we all believe it works, kindof applied to us as well. Metal flying birds zipping around at 2.5X the speed of sound? Sounds like blessing of the Machine Spirit to me.

First story... and adaptation of The game.

[@PanduPoluan]

Story #1 reminds me of another r/HFY story where the aliens can shape reality as they like from this 'primordial plasma', until they happened upon the edge of the primordial plasma soup... they discovered that someone had formed a huge reality bubble, billions and trillions of light years wide ... and they with great effort managed to find us humans at the center. We created a huge reality merely by looking up to the sky/stars and think how everything works.

[@cidkronic]

So consensus reality?

[@Broomer52]

If we want to pursue this route, the reason why theirs so many rules is because we subconsciously want a lot of rules. We have a need for pattern finding to the point our eyes will play tricks on us, so we created a large amount of rules by deciding we don’t know everything, this can’t be all there is and need to know more.

[@Maddog3060]

Story 1: So basically the xenos live as if everything is a science fantasy space opera, and we come in and ruin their suspense of disbelief. Story 2: Seems... kinda pointless. No conflict was resolved, no change in any status. Really, just feels like a scene from a larger story rather than an independent story itself.

[@anter176]

Story #2 I think is heavily inspired by "the cossack reply to the sultan" story/art-piece

[@TheAzynder]

there was a part 2 for #2 and it seems the author had the intent of going further but there really is no more from him but a single unrelated story months later.
