Playing devil's advocate here, I'm gonna attempt to justify giving the flute to Child C.

Child B is greedy, and doesn't like sharing. Anyone who can make a flute, can make more flutes.

Why does Child A need to be given a flute? If they can play a flute, then they probably already got one.

Child C would appreciate the flute the most, because Child C has nothing.

FYI, this position is juvenile. Like, low-IQ sponge for countless virtue signalling rhetoric K through 12, and now you're in college for a double-dose of it.


Kay, now gime your exalts otherwise you will have to accept yourself as greedy and not sharing. Also you can also get more exalts. Your quote.

You have to give away your exalts now. So yeah. Your logic, my exalts :P

Sure didn't take long for us to go from "give the flute to C" to "gimme dat naow."

I'll punch those kids in the nose, pull their hair and lock them in the toolshed and take it for myself.

I'll share it with my friends though.

In the humanitarian context this thread is going for, you just turned out to be the biggest monster in here of them all. Fuck utility. Fuck privilege. Fuck ownership. Fuck the poor. You're just 100% opportunistic, with a hint of tribalism and dictatorship. "If you lot can't decide who deserves it, I'll just trample you all and take it for myself. Oh, and my friends. Whoever that might be on the day..."

I don't take it seriously, but that's what you've described.

Way, way too much Incursion for you...

Please indicate both the most deserving and the second most deserving child.

I'd tell how how to score the results, but that'd be cheating. I'll tell you later.

None of them are getting it. First of all Child B is a lair. I don't believe she really made the flute so she is definitely not getting it. If child A plays the flute already she either already has one or broke hers. Either way she is not getting it either. I would consider giving it to child C, but he didn't say anything about wanting to learn to play it. I would give it to C to teach A and B a lesson, but then C would learn nothing.

Well then sir, I apologize. Welcome to Team Capitalism.


Nothing wrong with capitalism, so long as it genuinely contributes to everyone's happiness. Trickle-down assumptions are, naturally, trickle-down delusions. But that doesn't mean that capitalism per se is useless.

I am, as I said, a pragmatist. And sometimes policies which are readily labled as "socialist" are in fact far more pragmatic than their so-called capitalist alternatives.

In America at least, neither dominant political party (both quite conservative, though to different degrees) is interested in pragmatism as such so much as in discrediting the other "team." Both are therefore equally worthy of ridicule.

Trump is ridiculed all over the world, yes, but the more important point is readily missed: His ridiculous (and non-pragmatic thinking) is shared by millions. "Post-truth" is actually a thing now. Need I say more?

"Make America Great Again" indeed. Neither party has been genuinely interested in THAT in decades. Obama was a centrist, not a challenger of the status quo. He did some damage control, but he never returned key aspects of democracy which were robbed from America by Bush Jr. and the Patriot Act.

In short, I find all "Team X" statements to be not only useless, but actively harmful to America. It is only because the two parties have manufactured such enmity between themselves that Americans are willingly disenfranchised and/or have given up on ever making American government meaningfully representative in the near (= +20 years) future.

You should really read Scott Adam's Win Bigly. "Post-truth" isn't new. Just because (you believe) you're woke now doesn't mean you didn't sleep through some of the important parts.

The statement was referencing its currency and prevalence, not its newness.

P.S. My last few statements to you were censored by a mod who thought they were overly "antagonistic."

I apologize if I antagonized you, Scrotie. ;)

B should get it with a caveat... that B promises to improve the design and create Flute 1.1.0.


However... the capitalist me would encourage B to work with A. Let A play and use your flute and advertise it's quality.

While A is playing street shows with B's flute, B should be working on the next flute a flute upgrade 1.1 to sell to whoever is interested.

Both A and B could potentially get C off of his ass and let C peddle fliers/posters around town to advertise B's flute as well.

This question is too binary and assumes too much stagnation amongst the three choices.

Hell if these three kids were around a proper adult that understood the abilities of each, these kids would be unstoppable.

Wile we're all arguing about who should get the flute, child A has taken up video games and started a thesis on are traps gay?, Child B has set up a profitable meth lab, and Child C has been eaten by hyenas.
