## Resource

The darker the forest, the brighter the philosophy! Despite all odds, we press on against the horrors of both the fictional and our real universe to talk about what happens when you try to do sociology AT SCCCCCCAAAAAAALLLLLLEEEEEE! Besides parsing the end of the book, we parse the precepts of Dark forest and whether it holds water, what are plausible objections, and what does this tell us about the reality of conflicts at smaller scales.
