I Have a Stupid Question.

Argwin,

I have a repution of being stupid and silly, but it seems there's a stupid question going unasked. Okay, I'll ask it.

What would you have Eleusis do in case you are right? Protest and carry on about the events in the heavens? Be upset with fellow mortals who... are somehow to blame for actions in the heavens, where as far as I know,
only the Gods have enough power to cause action?

What are you suggesting Ashtan and/or Ashtani can do about the matter? I mean, I hear tell Ashtan's a pretty powerful city-state, but... that was a planet. A planet about which we on our planet knew little to nothing before it ceased to exist - unless someone knows differently, in which case, okay, that much.

I'm not asking about facts; I don't have all the facts. Heck, none of us mortals has all the facts! I'm asking what you think any of us mortals - Eleusian, Ashtani, whatever - on this planet, our planet, can do about the matter.

And then, whatever that is, compare it with my favourite Eleusian time-consuming defence-of-nature activity, dousing forest fires. How much water in how many buckets worth of effort do you think we should be investing? How many groves' worth of trees will this actually save from this definitely-not-a-fire? Is this really a thing mortals can do?

How much effort are you investing, personally? I mean, let's say we all drop all our existing buckets of effort toward whatever and we all follow your lead on this. What are we going to be doing? What are you doing, besides making public posts?

Considering making a bucket list,
Bo

P.S. Thank you all for reading this.

Penned by my hand on the 25th of Lupar, in the year 814 AF.
