Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant

Just kill the King Bro, then poison your sacrifices.... rocket scientists always f. Everything up with their sheer genius

VK

This is why I fear the ants...

The Dragon Tyrant is a metaphor for Death. Should humanity survive, We WILL have the tech, sooner or later, to abolish that primordial fear once and for all. Humans will become functionally immortal... if they desire. This will seem unnatural, like shirking a part of what makes us human, but it will free up time for all things. The next Einstein will grow and build their intellect FOREVER, the next Elvis or Mozart, honing their joyous tunes for better and better.

The start made me think the dragon was called War

This story feels like something I would see on exurb1as chanel

The dragon is big tech

Has anyone thought, maybe we are our own dragons?

Well...
Wouldn't a Naturalistic & purely secular scientific existence justify the most of this?
The only real issue is the existence of a Dragon with those qualities at all.

The dragon of war must be killed

And then a war broke put 20 years later

I'm very fun at parties, so I have this question: if every person entering the dragon's stomach just stocks explosives all over their bodies, and after the dragon has devoured hundreds of them, they detonate it. Will that kill the dragon? that solution doesn't require advanced tech.

This is a great story, and I assume the dragon might or might not do I assume most certainly ass is an analogy for death and you know how the thing is like we’re not supposed to stop that from happening because that or life will be miserable now too long to painful but there’s nothing off that’s bad mean like that Therefore I think they should unalive the dragon

Gluttony and greed can lead to a deserved fall

Did they eat the dragon?

❤ Thank you

Logistically, if it is plausible to kill the dragon 🐉/ find technologies to slow or stop the aging process… then it is plausible to eventually build the technologies to stop / reverse death. Reviving all who had died prior. (Cloning, time travel, etc. pick your poison)

So… none of it really matters. Right?

In part two, the kingdom is awash with over population and famine. Crime has skyrocketed, slums and the poor roam the land that is a ruined and polluted wasteland, while people kill each to take what they can to survive.

On another note, was the Dragon Death, as in Mortality?that is what it sounded like to me.

Ill save her! She is my dragon!

Incredible!

omg that so sad and it touch my heart and also my friend heart that watch with me

Well, nice. But people don't want the dragon killed. May be they will get 10c less than before. May be they won't get to use with love. No ruler would ever listen to a baby.

More than 10,000 people die from malnutrition every day. The dragon is hunger and we do very little to kill it. Humanity spends enough money on war to eliminate world hunger every week.

this would be a great tv show

The saddest part in my opinion would be the social hierarchy that would form around the necessity of people in order to not get sent to the dragon and all the evil, sadness and inequality that it would form

You know, you’d think poison would’ve been more convenient than a missile

why couldn't they just have made arrows / bullets out of the super sharp material and sent in a bunch of people to shoot them 🫠🫠

I was sent here by @Vitalik Buterin and @J__Lam

Once their common enemy and the reason for their cooperation was gone they turned on one another. The end

Poison? 10 thousand chances tk get one right a day idk

$BITE

The dragon in the story is symbolic of death (mainly by aging)

Is this supposed to be a metaphor

The Wolf slices missile in two and it goes off in opposite directions "Everyone thinks they'll be the one to defeat me. But no one's escaped me yet."

They must have a massive population to be able to sustain 10,000 deaths every single day

This video should be retitled “The Lore of Vore”

🤌🤏

To me, somehow narrator really sounds like internet historian. May be I was mistaken

It took me too long to figure out that The Dragon was symboling death and it was a story about humankind beating death itself

I think the death of the dragon is a tragedy rather then a success
Motivated by the idea that killing the dragon would lead to long and better lives meant that thousands where consumed in a race to stop it rather then simply enjoying their life to the fullest
Humans demand a right to life but we do not use that life to live
We wander our way through it only realising at the end that we could have done so much more
The best part of life is death for only with death is life truely possible

no im not crying

Now that the dragon has been killed humanity will go back to fighting war against each other, I was expecting a better ending.

I watched this story years ago, and one thing about it always bothered me, and that's the whiplash of the meaning of the story. The dragon's one desire is to live forever. And yet, the answer is to kill it.

I'm imagining this dragon pulls a frieza.

The dragon didn't evolve with time. Humans evolved and vanquished the dragon 🐉.

Thanks!

At first i thoight this was a video about late-stage capitalism. I still do, but i did at the beginning too.

Did grey change this? I thought the kings wife was on the last train to the dragon ????

That was amazing😊
