I understand that in the past, October has been a particularly hard month, especially several years ago. I don't know if it's going to be bad again this year, I don't think anyone does, maybe not even the deities

Nicely said.

Have you settled in well enough?

[sciencegeekchic]

Horribly, how can anyone enjoy the idea of settling down?

[lady_wandering]

I did say well enough, and this place isn't without its entertainments.

And what's so wrong with settling down? Really, you can't run forever.

[sciencegeekchic]

Settling down is horrible. And of course I can run forever, why wouldn't I be able to?

[icamesofar]

The Great Moral what? Seriously? Well I never knew that before.

And hold on just how bad has it been?

[sciencegeekchic]

All Gallifreyans studying to be Time Lords learn it.

Lots of death in the past.

[icamesofar]

So you have to actually study to be a Time Lord? Always thought you were just born into it.

Oh. That's really bad.

[sciencegeekchic]

I know I make it look effortless, but it takes a lot of studying. Decades of it.

[miss_waldorf]

Apparently you haven't been to New York.

[sciencegeekchic]

I've been to New York lots of times. I've even been to New New York.

[miss_waldorf]

Are you one of those people who're from the future?

[sciencegeekchic]

Ohhhh, it's very hard to say when a Time Lord is from.

The Great Moral Dialectic. It sounds almost idealistic.

Is it not also true that, the more people occupy a certain space, the more they wish to destroy all that is not like themselves?

[sciencegeekchic]

It's science.

Not at all. Maybe for one or two species, yes, but not for most.

[charitaslamia]

Well, you must forgive my limited knowledge, sir. I am only familiar with my own race, and humans.

[sciencegeekchic]

And what's your race?

[denyinurgod]

...In our world, humans were constantly engaged in never-ending warfare. A great change needed to occur before humans began to understand one another. Is that "The Great Moral Dialectic"?

[sciencegeekchic]

Welll, it's hardly never-ending if a change happened and it ended.

[denyinurgod]

...Right.

[sciencegeekchic]

What was it that brought the end?
