My phrasing was vague. I asked if a third group existed, which was the offpsring of Typhon.
I'll quit asking questions for the time being, and look to other sources. But thanks for the tip.

I think it's relevant to remind everyone that history is only viewed from one perspective; The winner's. Had the south won the civil war, for example, slavery would more than likely still be commonplace and justified. Had Hitler won WWII, people of Jewish descent would still be portrayed quite badly. There are many more examples. Remember that Evil is only the polar opposite of what you hold to be morally true.

Yes true that is what the video ment, but I think he wants us to realize the path we are on, which I assume is Calliope's not Paranoia's. In that case the question is, how do we get onto Paranoia's path? I would like to know why you are all so quick to help with this and "getting on Paranoia's path" when you in fact have no idea what it really is. In the original Greek, παράνοια (paranoia) means simply madness (para = outside; nous = mind) and it is this use which was traditionally used in psychiatry to describe any delusional state. Do you guys really want to help the Father Madness? I am only here to provide criticisms and constructive thinking. While I do not believe that humanity is exactly on the correct path right now, I do believe it is up to us and only us which way we go. I think the most important thing is to not get in beyond the point of no return just yet. |

Paranoia, as I understand, doesn't want to bring us down a path were everyone is filled with paranoia, because then as a muse he has no job. So he is preventing us from going down that path.

The understanding I have about the paths is that both will allow humanity to reach its pinnacle. The difference is that Calliope's allows that pinnacle sooner, and theoretically this will cause humanity's downfall that much more quickly, while Paranoia's path will cause the pinnacle to happen later, thus theoretically making the downfall happen over a longer period of time.
I am unsure whether I agree, though.

I believe we've been told before that history has not been kind in regards to descriptions of the dark muses. While the texts may call them monsters, that may be something of a bastardization of what they really are. Just a thought, though. I'll see if I can't find a supporting quote. To some they may be rightous gods, to others, bringers of hell... I just wanted to add a quote that I like and is somewhat relevant, though I have a funny feeling it's not at all important to this whole thing.  "One day Malaclypse the Younger... asked Eris if she really created all of those terrible things. She told him that She had always liked the Old Greeks, but that they cannot be trusted with historic matters. 'They were,' She added, 'victims of indigestion, you know.'" |

Is there significance to the fact that the face's eyes are white now?

I feel the faces are important, either because of the number of them, the direction they are looking, etc.
Plus, we still don't know what the face is saying in video 5. I feel that's very important, too.

I feel that's very important, too. number 5 almost looks like it's backwards and slowed down, if he's actually saying something. he bares his teeth at the end of the phrase instead of the beginning. it looks like it's just one word if its anything |

Hmmm, I never thought about the fact that it may be saying something backwards!

The traditional elements will stay the same, but... well, there will be some changes. Even Paranoia can see the red in blood."Probably no coincidence that the face is a little reddish in video 6? |

My registration was approved just this evening. This was the reply from ilovetofix Don't think it (the talking head) really means much in the grand scheme of it all. |

I would presume that the 'talking head's' request to be fed refers to the videos feeding paranoia. Or possibly Paranoia.
