I think people are misunderstanding me somewhat.
I'm not advocating for a pro-surrender or pro-suicide approach, I think it would be good if we won under the right circumstances.
I'm just saying that I don't think trying to win is of itself an inherently virtuous or sensible idea and if it conflicts with our morals, we should follow those instead.
I've never once told anyone to "sit back and moan". I am saying that we should be actively striving to be a being worthy of being a God, and highly valuing self preservation under these circumstances is a negative trait to that end.
We shouldn't give up on winning, but we shouldn't take the easiest route towards winning either.
We should take the very hard but morally justifiable route rather than the one that causes utterly pointless suffering because to do otherwise disqualifies us from being worthy of the prize.
If we participate in this war, as it is now, we are not qualified to be a good deity. Maybe that will change, but as things stand, tryibg to win the easy way is not a justifiable course to me for any reason other than pure self-preservation, which I don't think is a good reason.
If it is impossible to both be a good deity and win then we shouldn't win and Wax made a shitty test.
