TV TROPES BEETHOVEN 7TH SYMPHONY FULL

Go too far beyond that and it feels like they'd be operating on a fundamentally different level, not just be haughty and formal humans who call 100 years 'short.'

TV TROPES BEETHOVEN 7TH SYMPHONY FULL

Just.even just 200 years of experience with full cognitive faculties would, I would argue, result in a radically different kind of person, but one that is at least plausibly human like. I have the same hangups about elves and whatnot being thousands or even hundreds of years old and not having minds and cultures that are fully and fundamentally alien to a human perspective. It doesn't feel like a number from a believable world beholden to history and logistics, it seems like a number thrown out because it sounded impressive, scale be damned. The idea that that's being centrally maintained with any semblance of stability for even a year is akin to balancing a building on a pin to me. That much territory, and that many cities, people, and everything that entails, would make that empire many, many orders of magnitude beyond what has ever existed. The second you say there's millions of worlds it strains my suspension of disbelief to the point of breaking, and that's well before thinking about how many habitable worlds there would be. I know this is the exact thing this post is taking about, but I feel the problem there with 40K was the concept of a 'galaxy wide' civilization in the first place.
