    de-empathy [Hard: Success] — War, and murder, and violence…they’re all just so terrible. So, so many people are suffering, every single day. And worst of all are the ones who pay back violence with violence. You worry that it merely ensures an unending cycle of ever more violence. Just more and more people being hurt. It is a history of abject failure.

    cindy-the-skull — “Haiti, Angola, South Africa, Cuba, Vietnam. I could genuinely go on.”

    de-encyclopedia [Challenging 12] — Recall everything you know about the history of violent uprisings.

    de-encyclopedia — Delving deep within the recesses of your mind, poking around inside all of the grey little folds and corners, you manage to come across a pale, faded memory. Exerting a little concentration frees it from the gummy surface of your liquor-pickled brain, bringing it into focus: it’s the sum total of all of the knowledge you have ever possessed about the history of violent uprisings.

    de-encyclopedia — It’s blank.

    dubois-depressed — No. Surely there has to be something in there.

    de-encyclopedia — You’re a moralist, detective. Why would you know anything about history?
