in principle I think you should be able to guess the entire premise from the title

'not psychologically damaged in any of the many ways that lead to evil' sounds like how a plane of Chaotic Good outsiders would think about it. She decides not to get into that. "Huh, billions specifically? The Chaotic planes I know of are infinite."

Permalink

"The plane is infinite, the apsels are not. More appear occasionally though."

Permalink

She doesn't know that much about how different kinds of outsiders reproduce. "Huh. Demons are infinite."

Permalink

"...how do you know? I'd expect an infinite number of demons to... show up more."

Permalink

"Hmm, how so?"

Permalink

"Well, even if you postulate that they're all evil by virtue of being infinite demons and not infinite regular folks or whatever, if they each individually have any chance of a thing - finding their way here, say, or finding their way back where I'm from, or - writing an exact copy of all the works of Shakespeare, whatever, then presumably they'd have done it."

"I mean, our plane is also infinite, we think, though that does seem like a good argument for our plane being infinite that I hadn't actually run across - so the places they could show up when they go wandering could be really far from us."

Permalink

"I'm not complaining about the place being infinite, but about the population being so, although I guess if you're claiming that populated areas are not disproportionately interesting to demons at all - which kind of calls into question how evil they can all be, honestly - then I don't think it sinks my argument."

"I think most other planets are also inhabited. The ones in our star system mostly are. I don't know if demons prefer inhabited areas? Evil doesn't mean you actively want to hurt people, I don't really actively want to hurt people and I'm Evil. I think if I were an outsider I'd mostly prefer uninhabited places because there'd be less interference?"

"...ooh, space aliens." He notes this in his open letter without looking at the screen; they will be able to read around the typos. "Maybe I just don't have a good enough intuition yet for what counts as evil in the points system."

Permalink

"Most stuff, I think. Everyone I know is Evil, and we spent our lives at the Worldwound trying to save Golarion."

Permalink

"Maybe it is judging your purity of heart or some such."

Permalink

"Probably. It doesn't really matter since Hell's going to conquer everything eventually anyway."

Permalink

"You seem very convinced of the fate of all the infinite everything."

Permalink

"I mean, the chaotic planes being infinite it seems possible to me that parts of them will get away? I'm not sure if that's heretical, though, I wouldn't want to have an opinion about it if I didn't have an apsel. I'm pretty convinced on Asmodeus being able to beat up even the most powerful other gods, and I'm pretty convinced Heaven and Axis can't fight back."

"And we all know the best sign of an opinion being true is it being illegal to believe otherwise."

Permalink

"It's illegal to claim Aroden's alive and, in fact, he's dead, they think so in other countries too. It's illegal to say stupid things generally, and probably any of them are true but most aren't."

Permalink

"And why is it illegal to say such things?"

Permalink

"...I assume that 'because if you say them, you'll get killed' isn't the kind of answer you're looking for here?"

Permalink

"That is the result of them being illegal, surely?"

Permalink

"I mean, I think what happens is that they want to stop people from saying those things, so they make it illegal."

Permalink

"And they want this out of their genuine and heartfelt concern for the longevity of their beloved citizenry, who, if they say stupid things, will surely drop dead of natural causes?"

Permalink

"...no. I - what? I assume you're joking but I don't even have the - concept you're joking off of - I have no idea who decides to make things illegal or what goals it advances."

Permalink

"Oh, okay, you could have just said that when I asked why it's illegal."

Permalink

"Sorry. It's illegal because someone made it illegal and I don't know how making things illegal advances their goals."
