Welcome to my Ted Talk.

One can draw striking similarities between the perceived decline of modern Western culture and the societal degradation portrayed in the fictional Eldar civilization of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. This philosophical comparison warrants deeper exploration.

The Eldar, an ancient and technologically advanced alien race in the Warhammer 40k setting, are depicted as having attained a state of post-scarcity luxury and hedonism prior to their civilization's collapse. Likewise, I feel that Western societies experienced a cultural shift following the broad economic prosperity and technological advancements of the late 20th century. During this period, it is contended, there arose a rise in behaviors and practices often considered morally or socially decadent, such as increased drug use, the proliferation of unconventional sexual practices, and the growth of subversive subcultures. The groups in our world that are most similar to the Drukhari (dark eldar) are the many extortion/grooming discord cults, gooning circles, animal torture communities, CSAM-sharing groups, and general personality cults.

The parallels drawn between this perceived cultural degradation in both the real world and the fictional Warhammer universe are thought-provoking. They raise philosophical questions about the relationship between material abundance, moral decline, and the fragility of advanced civilizations. To what extent are periods of comfort and excess inherently linked to societal breakdown? Do the downfalls of the Eldar and modern Western culture share common root causes, whether psychological, economic, or otherwise? These are the types of profound inquiries that a rigorous analysis of this comparison may yield.

Ultimately, while the decline of Western society and the disintegration of Eldar culture exist in vastly different realms - one empirical, the other fictional - the similarities are striking and deserve philosophical contemplation. A deeper exploration of this analogy could shed light on the human condition and the fragile nature of even the most sophisticated of civilizations.

I conclude my Ted Talk.

[Huh what?]

Whenever I get a package of plain M&M's, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I make them have M&M duels.

Taking two candies between my forefinger and thumb, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the 'loser' and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner get to go to the next round.

I have found that, in general, brown and red M&Ms are tougher, while the blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense ring of competition and cracks under the pressure of being in the modern candy and snack food world.

Occasionally I will come across a mutation, a candy that is mishapen, pointier or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this seems to be a weakness but on very rare occassions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the candy continues to adapt in it's enviroment.

When I finish the package, I am left with one M&M. The strongest of the herd. Since it wouldn't make any sense to eat this one as well, I package it up with a letter that says "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes" and send it back to M&M Mars, A division of Mars INC in Hackettstown, NJ

They wrote back this week thanking me and gve me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of M&MS.

This weekend there will be a tournament of epic protortions.

There can only be one champion.
