The Magnus Archives’ take on morality is anything but straightforward, but it strikes me how well it meshes with my favorite simple life philosophy quote, Discworld’s “Sin is when you treat people as things.” 

The Hunters and their book. Jonah and his “Archive.” Peter and his sacrifices. Gertrude and her pawns. Mary and her legacy. Even Jon and Daisy and their ‘food sources’ before they rejected that life.

The right thing to do is often an unclear path, made muddier in that there’s no telling how those in power might twist their choices, but time and time again the wrong thing all comes down to that–

“I’m sure there are worse crimes–”

“–But they start with thinking about people as things.”

#i’m having some Big Feelings about the literal objectification of gerry and jon #or the paths of characters like julia and trevor where dehumanization of others corrupted them so deeply
