The world can be unknowable if you are especially ignorant and fatalistic. It's basically a religious, conservative argument that everything is fine if you don't think about it too much.This is a weak meme. Saying “you can’t know what could have been because it didn’t happen” means zero speculation, which is just an absolute halt to any progress whatsoever. Why argue about historical events? There’s *no way* to know for sure what could have happened, so mine as well just throw out the entire field of speculative study. There’s a reason arguments exist, at least within the field of speculation: make your case about what could have been, and if it convinced enough people, it is a good argument. This “throw the baby out with the bath water” argument of yours is nonsense.
And to respond to your locked blackpill thread, since I've thought about this for a while, here are two hard truths:
1. Keeping pressure on Taleworlds is a good thing as long as it's principled and about things they could do and fix. It works.
2. As much as I would like Taleworlds to be financially punished for delivering crap, it's both too late and mods will fix almost any crap. It will be a good game with mods, even if that's karmic injustice.
