It's good feedback, thanks! At this point of the game development I'm happy it starts and you can tell what's going on :)

Author here. This is a PM–Dev dialogue trying to explain how “time” can emerge from constraints, and why the arrow of time is basically “undo is rare.” I’d love feedback on where the metaphor clarifies vs misleads.

Generalizing over the whole nation? Hmm... Where have we seen this?..

Just a fun piece I wrote :)

You haven't answered "How?".

OK. But you do say what Israel shouldn't do, and at the same time, you can't provide any alternative solution. That's a really convenient position. I don't think doing nothing is an option here, so Israel does what the electorate expects it to do, that's what I meant in my comment about overreaction.

Also, I'm not sure who you mean by "they". Let's talk about specific people: past governments are mostly dead, current generation was born into this situation the same as Palestinians were born into theirs. "They" (current Israeli population) can't end the occupation; there are no feasible options. So what "they" should do in case a neighboring nation kills a thousand of "them"? Again, these people have nothing to do with occupation. The kids at that rave party most likely considered themselves as far left (just given the demographics). I myself am far left; I'm a part of "them", and I'm against the occupation, but no one is able to come up with a solution that would satisfy both sides.

So when you talk about "them", whom do you mean? Who'd you expect would find a solution if you can't even solve this smaller moral dilemma of what your country's response should be in case of Oct. 7?

edit: like, how can you overreact if no one can say what "non-over" reaction should be?

That doesn't answer my question, what would be an adequate reaction to more than thousand civilians brutally murdered, raped, etc? What Israel should've done as response that you would consider adequate for all sides, Palestinians, Israelis, and international community?
