Now, you're just being bitter :P

"Calculations" adresses the Selforge system/society he built, which did require quite a bit of thinking and organization, so the term is most certainly correct.

Discovery and growth are satisfaction without suffering. Conflict is a bitter-sweet mix of both. So in terms of sheer fulfillment, the first quite clearly outweights the second.

And "idealism" refers to ideas not yet realized, so considering the character, system and setting are all operational, the concept itself is basically out of place here.

Beside, I find this "idealistic" recurrent criticism of yours rather surprising, considering you're quite the idealist yourself when it comes to your interpretation of real life ^ ^;

Bad faith ? Hypocrisy ? Both ?
