Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Shannon]

In my point of view, if fears really kicked in, they would commit suicide, what makes them still alive is their common sense still intact and not sabotaged by fear. In other words, deep inside their will to live is bigger than decision to die, because they still have common sense, they still think like normal people think, not like depressed one.

The bold makes no sense imho, because they didn't fear life, they feared death, or the process of death, I don't know, that's why they didn't commit suicide. And the hopelessness was pretty much the reason why they wanted it.

Hopelessness usually arises from fear making the person feel stuck between a rock and a hard place and thus feeling hopeless. Kill the fear and you free them from that state, and prevent the hopelessness and the results of it.

About the anti-hooker-module, it's good in my opinion, because what's the point of using dmsi if you just want a hooker.

First, I believe that if the FRM is done with fears then such modules wouldn't be necessary anymore. But my point was that if there will be such a module in DMSI than it must be scripted in a way that prevents using that as loophole to not execute and only apply for such direct payment for sex as escape from execution. I think Shannon will know how to script it correctly.

Will the want to die not be arising from the fear of life though?

That is pretty rare. It's the fear of something that must be faced or experienced because they are alive, in almost all cases.
