Who knew the 6.15 Omega Quests… (Spoilers)

My bad for replying to stuff in two different posts, but I don't think this follows. Not being immortal doesn't somehow make you immune to inevitably coming to an end, if just means it'll happen well before the fate that terrified the Ea came about. Escaping the consequences of immortality isn't escaping the consequences of being alive at all.

Sure I totally agree, but the point is that true immortality leads to Dead Ends as a certainty. Mortality does not necessarily lead to a Dead End, but opens the door for more kinds of Dead Ends. Thus the only way to avoid a Dead End is to be mortal.

Mortal civilisation will die just as certainly as (some of) the Ea or the plenty did, there's just a much wider variety of things that could do it. Even if you were super lenient and did allow a society to continue existing for as long as the Ea, how are they supposed to get around the heat death of the universe? The plenty had issues others could dodge, the Ea did not.

My interpretation of the moral of Endwalker is not “we have to make sure life goes on otherwise it’s pointless,” it’s “we should fight for every day we can, even if suffering and death is unavoidable.” If all will die to Heat Death then thats that, but it’s still good to fight for an extra day of living.

Do you truly think out of an entire civilization of ancient people who thrived on research only one would be capable of understanding dynamis? They had at the very least, after zodiark, 12k years. Even before that though Venat at least knows a bit about Dynamis, if she tells everyone that it’s the key, i don’t see why they couldn’t research it together. This whole thing of Hermes was the only one only works if you headcanon the ancients as stupid, which is the opposite of what we’re shown in Elpis.

And they would discover they can’t manipulate Dynamis and would either have to sunder themselves or create a being that could manipulate Dynamis and give it whatever it would need to defeat Meteion. That would mean control of Etheirys and the end of their “stewardship” as well as not sacrificing a bunch of them to get their family back.
