    Me, a mechatronics engineer: From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine.Your kind cling to your flesh, as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass that you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal

    Warhammer 40k is an infantile power fantasy celebrating obsolete stereotypes of masculinity and power in a way so utterly over the top it hurts, still thoroughly drenched in 1980's zeitgeist to a degree bordering the comical.
    That's what I was thinking a mere two weeks ago after knowing about 40k being a tabletop strategy game derived from Warhammer including a book series and catching a few glimpses of artwork here and there.
    But I'm also into fantasy and scify world building and came across your hiveworld video. It absolutly wasn't what I would have expected from what little I had known and it made me realize how much I had made up my mind about it beforehand from a position of ignorance and bias.
    I immersed myself into the lore with friendly support of your channel alongside a small number of other channels and sites and meanwhile I can barely restrain myself from setting up an altar for the one and true _Emperor of Mankind_ at this point.
    Thank you so much for introducing me to this world which turned out to encompasses so many things I like, it contains so many fascinating ideas and concepts while somehow managing to merge fantasy and scifi, tech-shit and batshit mysticism perfectly in a way which I absolutly wouldn't have expected - the idea of the machine god for example somehow makes way too much sense as a concept, as something I could actually see emerge in a trans-humanist society as foreign as it might appear at the surface level. The whole setting manages to feature so many elements taken from our real history and culture but brings in enough of a twist to make it unique, interest and at times even challenging by bringing up or implying interesting questions and perspectives in regards to our shared reality - and although people are talking about the voice model it's your writing which drives it all home and making the Warhammer40k into something which might might actually exist somewhere somehow, It feels alive while I'm listening.Tomorrow I'll start to delve into the books..
    Thanks again, and greetings from Berlin! 😁✊
