      Personally I dont think it is in the sense that most people say it is. People sacrifice others to live all the time. they try to dress it up with pathetic moralizing but in the end, its two animals competing and making sure the other one suffers or dies so they dont have to.

      If a litch wants to live forever and is sacrificing others to do so, they don't have a right to that. People have a right to fight him as surely as he has a right to try to exist.

        "Listen, man," the wizard said, indicating the twenty people nailed to the device's columns around him, "animals compete for resources all the time." the device spins up, and the people scream as their bodies visibly lose mass, glowing energy flowing from them to a small flask at the center. "It's pathetic moralizing to dress it up with morals and ethics." he continues, as they turn to dust and their screaming souls are bottled up. "Fricking grow up, man."

              NTA That's le epic zinger but it doesn't really change the reality of the situation.
              I don't like it, but there is truth to power deciding who is right by virtue of simply winning. The best you can do is use that to the best outcome of people possible, which admittedly means using force and violating consent (like interfering in an opioid dealer's operations, for example.)

                That's not the point of the quote. Lex is trying to justify himself by saying that he climbs on top of others to survive because everyone is doing it, so if he doesn't other people will just do the same to him. Superman says that most people don't want to live like that, we don't want to step on others to survive, and Lex is just trying to excuse his shitty behavior by pretending that everyone is as bad as him.

                superman isn't providing any kind of actual arguement but crying like a b***h, then throwing a tantrum by punching lex luthor('s robot or whatever usually). he hasn't provided a solution in any way, in the narrative or literally, to the problem he wants to solve.

                That's bullshit though. Better medical knowledge does not require you to make someone else "live like a dog", nor does improved agricultural techniques, superior engineering, more efficient production processes, better societal policies, fairer laws, less corrupt political systems, or increased education.

                The fact that our current systems are being abused and unbalanced to the point where they harm others doesn't mean that we have not created things that can be used to improve the lives of everyone. Quality of life is not a zero-sum-game.

                So having less corrupt politicians causes us to have more corrupt politicians? Having better shelter causes us to live in cages? Better medicine causes us to live alone? Having better food causes us to eat worse? I'm not following the causal relationship you're trying to establish here.

                So either
                a) You recognize there are good people, who are better than you and actually make the world a better place. If that's the case then it follows that people should strive to be like that
                b) You shrug it off by saying good people don't exist, which ultimately equals to moral relativism. In such scenario, people will still strive for survival and morality will rise up again as a need to keep society working, because people want to protect their own interests within a society and while conflicts of interest do appear, almost everyone agrees that people who want to be dicks for the sake of it are not even worth having around.

                NTA, but what a shit take. It's none of those. Morality doesn't exist period, so it can't be relative. I suppose you could say that "subjective morality" exists, but that's just saying that a person is capable of having a framework for their actions. Also, most people don't, they just do stuff without really thinking about it. So good or evil doesn't exist, it's "does this person's subjective code of ethics align with mine?"

            I know this is classic bait but in case theres a young edge lord out there who thinks this still:

            Evolution rewards co-operative and mutualist relationships over exploitative and predatory, because co-operation is inherently selfish.

            Some of the oldest known bacteria in the world exist in the human digestive system where they act in symbiosis with each other and humans. Viruses meanwhile, the most exploitive form of reproducing life known, risk killing themselves off if they are too successful at that exploitation as they destroy the host.

            Social behaviour also appears in the form of both herbivores herds and predatory packs that share the work load of child rearing and food collection. That behaviour is why we are the dominant species on the planet, despite being the argumentative frickers that we are, humans tend towards groups thoughts and activity and pass on resources and knowledge to other members of the group with the full expectation/demand of getting something back in return as part of the social contract.

            TLDR; the pack beats the lone wolf and will eat them.

        There's also the question of what you plan to do with said immortality. A lich who hunts down murderers and rapists to fuel his immortality and is only really interested in the sheer autism of magical research and writing down events to create historical archives is a lot different from the vampire who seeks the tomb of a demigod to devour his heartsblood and rule the world as an undying tyrant.

          I did not say that. I said there was a difference, which there is. The autist lich can probably be temporarily ignored in favor of dealing with the vampire, because one is an active danger to the world at large and the other one is a turbo autist in a tower somewhere.
          Aside from that, let's assume I were to argue the morality of such a thing. Nobody is likely to mourn a murderer or a rapist, and most places in history will punish either or both of those crimes with execution anyway, so what actual difference does it make how they get murdered? If I wanted to further the concept, it's entirely possible such a hyper autist would be intelligent enough to work out a deal with a king to simply be provided with the aforementioned murderers and rapists after they've been found guilty by a proper court in exchange for access to the results of aforementioned magical research. Execution by lich, not as much of a spectacle as a hanging but the intimidation factor is still there.

      A 2000AD comic YEARS ago, that I've never found again, had the human race discover immortality. After a while they started being ripped apart by ... demons or something, but the twist was that the souls of the dead were needed to fight them off in the afterlife. Every civilisation that stumbled upon immortality eventually disappeared almost overnight but noone had ever figured out why before Our Hero. The dead had to eat them to beat them, for some reason. Maybe author had a vore fetish, I dunno. Never been able to track it down, not even random images.

    From a setting perspective, becoming immortal always has to have a price, because if it didn't then it would mean that lots of people would be immortal.

    Even you were okay with that in principle, it opens up the next problem of "why are the PCs in charge of stopping this national threat when level 40 mythic good-aligned wizard who lived for 8000 years can solve it in a week"

    Therefore for setting integrity, immortality methods are typically evil.

    Hang on, don't adventurers kill truckloads of monsters and what have you daily? Surely all one would need to gather the necessary souls needed to fuel your ascension to lichdom is go around adventuring for a while. Even if you need humanoids specifically, there's plenty of humanoid villains you could easily stumble upon; bandit attacks are always a classic.

    Now the real issue with this plan is that this is all nonsense, as there are no actual rules (in third edition at least, since we're clearly ignoring the nonsense that is the fifth edition's process, which hardly requires anything evil at all) for how you become a lich other than it being "unspeakably evil". So, we don't even know if it requires sacrifices or consuming people's souls or whatever, but we do know that whatever the process is, it is always going to be utterly vile and evil.

    Of course, in D&D it's doubly a moot point, as there are far better ways of achieving immortality (there's a trick I figured out ages ago that Truenamer could potentially use to resurrect himself for free from beyond the grave, minus a large setup cost, but that comes at the cost of relying on slightly fuzzy wording and having to live out your immortal life as a Truenamer).

    In the vast majority of fantasy or scifi settings there's nothing wrong with biological immortality, i.e simply not dying of old age. Fey and Angels don't have an expiration date, in scifi ascending to become an energy being or genetic treatment to live forever or clone backups are pretty common and nobody cares.
    It's what you're willing to do to become immortal, or if the condition isn't JUST "you no longer die of old age" that things tend to get sketchy.
    Being handed a fruit of eternal youth by a fair folk noble after saving their court is essentially fluff, it has no bearing on your actual power and 99.9% of player characters will die of something other than old age to begin with. The reason people seek out shit like lichdom or being a vampire is the immortality PLUS the insurance against getting stabbed to death.

    For what it's worth in eastern fiction the pursuit of immortality doesn't have negative connotations

    yes yes yes and romance is chemicals in the brain and we are alone in the stars and all that shit, blah blah blah everyone dies a pointless death and if not we harm others in the living of it, so on and so forth.

    But the point isn't what IS, here. We're talking about fantasy games and their consequences, wherein many of those games one fights literally elemental expressions of evil in the service of literally elemental expressions of good. Siphoning the actual life-force from others to bolster your own isn't just metaphor in these games, it's the fact of things that villains do.

    But other fact of the matter is that in most of these games we are not powerless to stop these actions, we are not meaningless flecks in the face of eternal meaninglessness, we wield great power and have enormous capability. A Fighter can swing that sword for 18 hours a day and not worry about it at all, a Paladin can literally ring up some aspect of his divine management if not the one in charge to ask if an action is copacetic, and so on. Ambiguity is out the window, and with it goes most nihilism, at least if your game is any fun, really.

    So yes: Strapping down a dozen people to eat their souls like gummy bears is an undeniably evil act of direct murder and must be met with action and be rebuked, because that's the game, that's the story, and that's the villain.

        this just screams "let me do the bad things because being kept from evil is oppression" and nine times out of fricking ten, the only reason this argument is used is either "I want to murder the shit out of a cashier for not smiling at me" or "I wanna diddle children and get away with it". It's tiresome, it's old, and I don't want to hear it, especially when talking about goddamn games of pretend where the context is that the universal morality can be conveyed either on a numerical value, a nine point chart, or the fricking dude sitting across from me who happens to be willing to pilot this frick-shit trip for us.

              I don't need to. It doesn't take any brain cells at all to gather that the restrictions placed upon modern humans are inhuman, nor that violence against a leader is a great way to keep them from being a complete douchebag.

              Therefore, it's pretty simplistic and straightforward that the smallest unit of governance is the most fair, because on that level it takes far far less people to organize a resistance to it. This is what causes times to be "good". For freedom, both its negative and positive consiquences, to be something you can experiance. It is not a matter of just when, but where, who, and how many.

            Anon, I was *joking* about the kid-fricking. What the actual frick.

            I'll say it once more, with all the clarity I can muster: We're talking about a game of pretend where the rules give us the power to change the world and its evils are clearly demarcated for all to know and see with little room for interpretation. This isn't the real world we are discussing. Wal-mart, as an entity, does not exist, nor is there anything like it, Amazon is at most a tribe of hot chicks put in for the tomboy enthusiast in the gang.

            In such a space and setting, one should use said powers to alter the world towards goodness and kindness where one can, because it's the correct thing to do when one has the power to do so and the knowledge of how and the certainty of the results. To do anything else - with all these factors considered - can only be considered evil and the actions, therefore, of a villain.

            seriously, why do these edgelords all want to diddle children and refuse to admit it's reprehensible when faced with it. what in the name of all that's good in this world. christ.

            I'm saying that life is a game of limited resources, it doesn't matter if you do good if in the process you do as much bad. You can do that anyway, which you should, but it's not "good" as the moralgay understand it. It's simply personal interest. You have a personal interest in skellingtons not taking over the world, and I have a personal interest in not being enslaved by soulless yids running a central banking scheme largely defended by you and your capeshit posse. No matter who comes out on top, someone gets fricked. Even if we sit here and agree not to kill eachother for the greater good, population and resource dwindling will boil until your future generations have to deal with your greed and fear of the consequences of being alive in this world. And probably the worst cruelty you inflict on them is ignorance of what comes next when the wolves shed their sheep skin and eat them

We should instead be full of scorn, act like animals, steal, kill, rape, etc? All this because the people at the top are rich and hoard wealth and because we don't live in a Star Trek tier post scarcity society?

                what is the purpose of striving for perfection if your actions only result in more suffering for everyone involved. You can try to do well to the people you care about, but beyond that, what are you accomplishing but creating a poison that will eventually result in everyone's familys being slaughtered like the aniamls you said aren't moral actors and don't count? If you truly care about their lives or suffering why do you insist on taking actions to ensalve and destroy them while painting over all of your cognitive dissonance with cope that no, actually, you are striving for an impossible ideal so it's okay if you ruin everything.

                That can be turned around. What's the point of giving up and only looking out for you and yours if it just causes more suffering in the end? You're making an assumption that trying to strive for an ideal in an imperfect world will always make things worse, but why should it? The shining city on a hill is unachievable, but that hardly means the way things are is the best of all possible worlds, nor that we shouldn't attempt to be better than we are.

                >If you truly care about their lives or suffering why do you insist on taking actions to ensalve and destroy them while painting over all of your cognitive dissonance with cope that no, actually, you are striving for an impossible ideal so it's okay if you ruin everything.
                You're the one that said it's acceptable to destroy lives and kill people "because that's the way the world works". If you truly care about the lives and suffering of others why are you advocating for a view that allows for the murder and destruction of other people with the cope that no, actually, this is the natural order so it's ok if everything is shit?

                >What's the point of giving up and only looking out for you and yours if it just causes more suffering in the end?
                There isn't, and I never said it was, it's the understanding of what you are doing and the consiquences of your actions that are important.
                >You're making an assumption that trying to strive for an ideal in an imperfect world will always make things worse
                it literally will. transcending such a scenario is literally impossible, and reportedly only one person has ever done it, and he did it by literally cheating the universe he made supposedly.
                > but that hardly means the way things are is the best of all possible worlds, nor that we shouldn't attempt to be better than we are.
                you attempting to be better than you are is only ever used as an excuse to be worse to people than you really have to be. you cannot moderate your evil when you insist you are not causing it. cannot withhold suffering when you insist on disregarding those you dislike as non moral actors or worth destroying.

                >You're the one that said it's acceptable to destroy lives and kill people "because that's the way the world works".

                Because that is literally happening right now, you people are the cause of it, myself included, but you've convinced yourself that you are not doing it so it's okay. You don't know the meaning of sacrifice, keyboard warrior

                Doesn't seem impossible to me. A person wants to make it so people never go hungry, this is likely impossible and they know it, but it inspires them to donate their money to the poor, volunteer at a soup kitchen, and leave the homeless guy a meal or two when they can, all of which make the world a better place.

                as a result, countless environments are destroyed, the soil is eroded for future generations, unspeakable cruelties are commited against our cattle slaves, and massive massive population explosion hurts the living standards of the population at large. Again, any perception you have that "things are better" is simply your greed stealing that prosperity away from future generations. In the future the consiquence of your actions will be famine and malnourishment, totalitarian control by the most evil people yet concieved, countless criminal enterprises, and a legion of morality simps like you, eager to jump infront of the spear of anyone brave enough to oppose all of your dressed up excesses.

                You are making a lot of assumptions about how a person would go about approaching the problem of hunger, and what they would consider an acceptable method or solution. You're assuming that their solution would inevitably involve over farming, increased consumption of cattle and feed animals, and a population explosion that cannot be adequately dealt with. Have you considered that a person may want a solution to hunger that is actually sustainable in the long term and phases out animal cruelty and would reject ideas that would lead to the things you describe instead of jumping to the quickest, most poorly thought out solutions?

                We aren't talking about me anon. I specifically avoided using myself as the subject of this hypothetical. You said trying to better yourself was only ever used as an excuse to be worse to other people. But if a man decides to be kinder and because of that offers nice words to a stranger he would have been mean to before, listens to a friend when he would have otherwise ignored them, apologizes to someone he wronged, and forgives a person instead of holding a grudge, how is he being worse to others?

                he is living a life of sloth and easy times where he doesn't have to dirty his hands as I've already said. he allows and participates in evil on the daily. acting nice does not make him less reprehensible.

                Ok but he was already doing that. Your claim wasn't that he has to be perfect, or even that he has to be good, your claim was that by trying to be kinder he has actively made himself a worse person. He was apparently going to participate in all that stuff regardless of his attempts to be kinder, so how does it make him a worse person for attempting it?

                yes, spending even more of your time engaging in sloth and hedonism makes you progressively worse as you do it. and lying to yourself about it while ignoring it is an additional character flaw that will pervade everything the man does. or more acturately, doesn't.
                >so how does it make him a worse person for attempting it?
                I've already answered this in this post and previously, but as an additional addendum if the man knew he was an evil piece of shit he would be capable of anticipating the consiquences of his actions and how they might directly make the world worse. Chances are, he will find something he decides isn't worth caring about and let it make the sacrifice, weather it's the fish or the environment destruction used to make the computer for example. If he knows nothing or insists that his actions are actually beneficial in the long run, the only thing he's doing is setting up dominoes for even worse tradgedies, ones I've already outlined in this thread multiple times despite you pretending I haven't.

                So your argument is because we didn't succeed before we should never try again?

                I'm saying that life is a game of limited resources, it doesn't matter if you do good if in the process you do as much bad. You can do that anyway, which you should, but it's not "good" as the moralgay understand it. It's simply personal interest. You have a personal interest in skellingtons not taking over the world, and I have a personal interest in not being enslaved by soulless yids running a central banking scheme largely defended by you and your capeshit posse. No matter who comes out on top, someone gets fricked. Even if we sit here and agree not to kill eachother for the greater good, population and resource dwindling will boil until your future generations have to deal with your greed and fear of the consequences of being alive in this world. And probably the worst cruelty you inflict on them is ignorance of what comes next when the wolves shed their sheep skin and eat them

                So either
                a) You recognize there are good people, who are better than you and actually make the world a better place. If that's the case then it follows that people should strive to be like that
                b) You shrug it off by saying good people don't exist, which ultimately equals to moral relativism. In such scenario, people will still strive for survival and morality will rise up again as a need to keep society working, because people want to protect their own interests within a society and while conflicts of interest do appear, almost everyone agrees that people who want to be dicks for the sake of it are not even worth having around.

                >what is the purpose of striving for perfection if your actions only result in more suffering for everyone involved.
                That can be turned around. What's the point of giving up and only looking out for you and yours if it just causes more suffering in the end? You're making an assumption that trying to strive for an ideal in an imperfect world will always make things worse, but why should it? The shining city on a hill is unachievable, but that hardly means the way things are is the best of all possible worlds, nor that we shouldn't attempt to be better than we are.

                >If you truly care about their lives or suffering why do you insist on taking actions to ensalve and destroy them while painting over all of your cognitive dissonance with cope that no, actually, you are striving for an impossible ideal so it's okay if you ruin everything.
                You're the one that said it's acceptable to destroy lives and kill people "because that's the way the world works". If you truly care about the lives and suffering of others why are you advocating for a view that allows for the murder and destruction of other people with the cope that no, actually, this is the natural order so it's ok if everything is shit?

    in my homebrew setting the prime realm is basically a training ground/nursery for a cosmic scale war.
    when you die your soul/experiences and skills are transferred into a god-like form, and drafted into a war to keep the cosmic horrors away from the prime realm nursery, so the gods/daycare workers of the realm want people to live long enough to grow strong and knowledgeable for the fight, but they still want them to eventually die so they can move on to the next phase of their lifecycle and help with the war.
    so by choosing to be immortal this dude is basically deciding to be a manchild staying in the kiddy pool forever, consuming mass amounts of resources as their power expands, but not helping with the literal impending death of all things.
    the gods don't like that, so they funnel a little more power towards the PC's as champions, granting them the advantage of 'meta knowledge', so they can learn things like the rules of the realm, which enables them to defeat the BBEG, forcing him out of his parents basement and into the great war.
    this is also why a lot of younger adventurers survive fatal events, they aren't ready for the war, but show enough promise to be worth investing more power into, so they get returned to the realm, at the cost of a few hundred underdeveloping souls, their hometown for example.
    death carries a scythe because he is harvesting a crop.
