>the SA is never directly 1:1 called God but
Lots of things in fiction have that status attached to them without the association with Heaven, angels, and martyrdom associated with the Judeo-Christian conception of God. The Grace from Doctor Who had nothing to do with Jesus, and the White Queen from Blood-Sign at no point asks people to say their prayers before bedtime. I am arguing, based on the fact that Judeo-Christian doctrine does not include sufficient thematic associations with a space squid, that the SA is not God because it’s more divorced from the general concept than say-the One Above All or Eru, who has actual angel-analogues.

>literal foundational metaphysics
YES, THOSE are why it must be destroyed. The distinction is irrelevant, my point has always been it is structurally and ontologically inimitable to a multiverse without suffering.

>Then just do that
…
I am trying to destroy it, yes.
That is.
That is the whole point.

>If you granted it the means-
Why would I GRANT IT THE MEANS when at this point, I’m the one doing the actual work? Furthermore why would I give IT the satisfaction of enacting it’s roll as the ultimate reality when I despise that reality? Fuck this thing. Explicitly and arbitrarily overriding whatever passes for it’s will is as much a component of it’s destruction as the actual act of erasing it.

>I was obviously talking from an in-setting perspective
And I’m obviously bringing these examples up from an in-chain perspective.

>create circumstances under which the illusion of self and free will is naturally maintained
Yes, this is my interpretation of what is actually happening. And it’s irrelevant to the premise of destroying the SA for being an inherent inimitable existence to literally every other lifeform other than Randolph Carter. The illusion (taking it’s immutability at face value) seriously is meaningless. It’s structure is inherently abhorrent.
