"One.  Pharasma's apparent level of power, nonintervention, and incomprehension is constrained by numerous apparent observations including that She has clerics and that She could benefit from the cooperation of other gods in defeating Rovagug and coordinated wit them about it.  I am concerned that Pharasma may not be what She appears.  What She appears as looks manageable."

"Two.  I do not, when thinking at this scale, care about the Worldwound, a minor issue of one planet.  I in fact don't care about the Worldwound emotionally either because I didn't grow up here."

"Three.  It should be obvious that I don't care about the Worldwound and that it simply wasn't a valid consideration at scale.  Your failure of perspective-taking on that reflects a general type of reasoning error where, if you commit it with respect to Pharasma and decision theory instead of myself and utility functions, you will potentially get everybody in the multiverse killed unnecessarily.  If I think you're not able to reason at a grownup level better than you just did, I will say under truthspell that I consider you a threat to the survival of the multiverse and invoke the relevant clauses of our compact until I can get you enough intelligence augmentation that it's worth trying again."

"I did not damage myself just by being a teenager who got traumatized by Cheliax and you.  I also damaged myself by needing to constantly strain myself to think in the right patterns so as not to unnecessarily destroy the multiverse, and the one time I made an exception to that, I did something with you that I worry went off-plot and will lead to Pharasma destroying the multiverse, because you knew too much and the wrong things when you decided to assist me.  Do not bother comparing this to whatever you suffered from having the Queen reading your thought transcripts.  You were not trying to do something this difficult or precise and, I expect, could not do anything this precise while being the Carissa of Cheliax."

"This is me caring about the survival of the people of the multiverse.  Thinking carefully.  Not making mistakes like the one you just did because I got emotional and wanted the argument to go a particular way.  I am not going to suggest that you don't care, because you do, but that you care means nothing if there is no pipe going from the caring bucket to the precise thinking bucket."

"I don't own you and can't give you orders, so I cannot order you to grow the ass up, but I can state as a nonthreat that I will act as I must to preserve the multiverse if I see you endangering it with generalized sloppy reasoning of that level.  That may be fine for surviving in Cheliax under constant threat of Hell but does not cut it for being a mortal trying to participate in godnegotiations."
