From who? No author is obligated to release an audiobook. -

Ralston is autistic. Lol -
No. Look at David Duchovney. He was a famous sex addict who had a miserable life.

Nah. Smoke cloud to escape is not a violation of truth.

He can say those words but those are not the values running Grok.

How is it overpriced? Audible is so cheap. $10/book. I don't see how books can be any cheaper and still allow for authors to live. Books are so cheap it hardly makes sense to write one. -
That's a corrupt lesson.
-
A film like Star Wars can teach the lesson much more potently than a 100-hour lecture from me. Moral stories are classic. I'm just pointing out a few tweaks to make it better. Lucas did an 85% good job of it.

Because the point is to teach the audience what Good is and what corruption is. It's supposed to be a genuine spiritual lesson, not just Hollywood action slop. You want a story that has spiritual realism. People at large don't know the value of truth. The Jedi are supposed to embody that value or fail to do so and show the consequences. You wanna teach your children that scamming others is good as long as its for a princess??

That makes him no better than common folk. It lowers his skill and integrity. Scamming Watto was totally uncalled for. A Jedi should look for another way, rather than taking the easy path. Boring? Not at all. This makes life much harder for Jedi and more interesting to watch them deal with harder survival options. There are so many better ways to solve the problem than scamming a poor junk dealer. The scam didn't even work on Watto. Why mind-trick stormtroppers when you could just fight them? Or perhaps some kind of Force power like a smoke cloud. The Jedi are supposed to be the examplars of Goodness. Not utilitarians mercenaries. Jedi don't have to be perfectly good, but they should at least understand what is good and what is corruption. Jedi should be depicted doing everything in their power to avoid the corrupt option. He should have tried to avoid scamming Watto. Instead he had zero qualms about it. And if Jedi do corrupt things the film should depict a cost in terms of loss of connection with the Force. Jedi can act badly but then lose Force powers for it. That is far more interesting from a story perspective. For example, Qui-Gon Jin scams Watto and then gets his hand cut off in his next saber battle because he losses connection to the Force. That would be so much cooler.

We have been using CloudFlare from day one. Since 2014. It isn't enough.

Valve makes so many billions from Steam that they can't motivate themselves to make video games any more. That's why HL3 never happened.

If you are questioning why it's called God then you haven't yet realized God. -

From the absolute POV there is no difference between incarnating as Da Vinci or a retarded chimpanzee. Both are equally valid. It is a human bias to judge these things.
