The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

But the whole Hermione doesn't even need to be alive to beat Quirrell very much reminds me of the Jesus thing in Christianity.

The Bayesian Conspiracy

The other guy who doesn't have to be alive.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Yeah, I knew that ring a bell.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Yeah, he dies, and yet he wins through dying.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

And, you know, for the first couple centuries of Christianity, they all just like were, yep, we're going to our death, and this is how we're going to win.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

And it worked.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

And that's kind of insane.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

And then the good will win.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Even if I die, it'll go on after me.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

I mean, that's every good story, not every good story, but that's, that's a lot of good stories.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

I think that is, again, a lot because it's recapitulating the myth that we are born with as people in a Christian society or, you know, Christian based society.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

No, for sure.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

I was just saying that there's other examples of the same kind of.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Yes.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

I don't know.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

I really love it.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR
