Alternative Tactics, Wednesday 09/19

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Today, the Danger Shop had been programmed back into its Badlands setting. The students, as they came in, found themselves standing in a valley with only one exit, with a line-up of Marine armor propped up against one of the walls. Kerrigan stood atop the rocks, her rifle in her arms.

"I have assigned you all groups of two. One of you will be the team leader, another will be assigned a stealth simulation protocol so they can operate what basically amounts to a personal cloaking device - but only within the confines of this sim. Don't try to take this one home, boys," and she may have shot Sokka if he was there a look, "You'll just end up disappointed. Your mission, and it's not up to you whether or not you get to accept it, is to get your stealth unit past enemy lines to the command centre some two miles from here. Check your minimap if you need to retrace your steps -- and good luck."

She turned around and vanished behind the rock.

Library, Wednesday [ 09/19 ]

There are seven ways for a foot to touch the ground, each with its own particular power. As she came into the library today, to open it up, to stay, to be expected to do nothing more than curl up and point others in the right direction when she herself was pointed so awkwardly, Adah was thinking about spreading ashes and how she used to watch things like that, if the dancer was interesting enough, but it hadn't done her much good in the long run. Still, she was thinking maybe she should start watching again.

Class will be there. With the townies, it seems.

Ethics [Thursday, September 20]

[sith_happened]

"Today we talk about something called the Golden Rule, a concept which unites many separate religions on this planet," Anakin began as he leaned against his desk and stared around the classroom. "It sounds altruistic: 'do unto others as you would have done unto you', but there's a couple of logical flaws in it. What if you don't mind getting poked in the stomach? Does it follow that you could wander around aimlessly poking people? What if you don't see what's wrong with stealing? Or killing? Or hating entire groups of people on principle? If the practical application is supposed to be you randomly help people because they could be good, wouldn't the opposite be that you could randomly harm people because they might be evil?"

He shrugged. "I suppose the Golden Rule could be broken down to 'be nice to people, and they'll be nice to you' but out here in the real world, we all know it doesn't exactly work like that, and the concept could also be reinterpreted as 'it doesn't bother me, so why does it bother you?' Is this a case of aiming for an ideal and hoping that it will cause a ripple effect of positive things, or something overly simplistic that taken to its logical extreme renders itself useless? Has seeing it on everything from coffee mugs to tea towels made the very idea of it trite, or does it still have a place in the mind of someone trying to lead an ethical life?"
