Greetings everyone. For those that I have not yet met, my name is Ben Kenobi and I am a recent arrival to this planet.

[The image is of one very calm and serene looking Jedi who is sitting cross legged in some random place around the city. He had been doing some meditating before deciding to officially make his presence known on the network for the first time.]

Now that I have settled in as well as one can, I have been considering the matter of these data points. I believe it would be useful for me use one. The question is which? That is what I’m hoping you might help me with. It seems to be an important decision.

So I am asking. Where is our community lacking? I wish to be of most use to everyone here. So I’m hoping you might give me feedback so that I can make a decision accordingly. How can I contribute best to our little society? Do we need medics? Pilots? Or something else? Please do let me know what you think.

[Nerd.]

Nah, it's not difficult. People just don't want to do it.

[hadthehighground]

[He is definitely a nerd.]

Quite right.

[doubled_speed]

[Well, at least he wouldn't deny that. But he quite enjoys this.]

The problem with the human mind is that they tend to box people into 'us' and 'them'.

[hadthehighground]

Not only the human mind I'm afraid, but yes, that is very true. Most everyone considers only their own interests.

[doubled_speed]

[Yeah, he supposes that's true as well.]

Crabs in a fucking pot.

[hadthehighground]

I'm sorry... what?

[Was this a saying of some sort? What is this "fucking" word?]

[doubled_speed]

Crabs. When you put them in a pot and start the water boiling? They reach for each other and drag the ones that almost escape back down. It's a metaphor, thing.

[hadthehighground]

So an analogy then. I see. It seems to be a fitting one at least.

[doubled_speed]

A very fitting one. People talk about how it's what people do. Trying to keep each other on the same level, which means no one can escape what is bad.

[hadthehighground]

Well as they say, misery loves company.

Misery can bite me
