>>46108077>>46108833My fetish is the unification of mathematics, philosophy, religion, science, and politics.
Each of these has its own "telos" or end goal:
>Mathematics: Infinities>Philosophy: Philosophy>Science: The Universe>Religion: Salvation>Politics: Optimal societal arrangementWhat is the best way to make that into a "family-friendly battle mechanic"?
How do you define a fetish? Is it a congenital behavior or the result of Pavlovian conditioning? I would say it's more like a tertiary sexual characteristic (In the language of TV Tropes.) We do not care about the origin; we care about the result. Is the fetish the behavior or the cause of the behavior? We're getting into a semantic swamp and this is natural "metonymy" expected in language.
Perhaps we can describe it as an "Aesthetic/sensual hobby/obsession with an erotic/sexual dimension".
I'll have to think about this some more.
