Magnus and James are identical in this respect. Symptoms of my power, not entities anymore. Since about 3/4 years they have lived exclusively in terms of what I give them to get excited about.
You can see how power corrupts;

I don't come to you. Rather, you come to me. Because you need me. And by me I mean my attention.
Then you get angry because you don't get the kind of attention that you want.
What do you want me to do?
Agree with you?
But how can I when your fundamentals are wrong?
You don't agree that the right way to make decisions is by siding with what is realistic (i.e. most probable, most likely, etc.)
Instead, you think that decisions should be grounded in desire (i.e. emotion, instinct, motivation, ambition, etc.)
You desire power THEREFORE you have power.
Seriously?
All you have to do in life is simply have a strong desire.
Everything else will take care of itself.
I got a philosophy degree, I'm not upset that I can't find work as a philosopher. It was my decision, and I knew that it wasn't a money making degree, so I get money elsewhere.
