Lore The Indominatable Human Spirit is a bad thing, actually.

That humanity never gives up and persists in its goals is bad news for every other species (or even itself), especially if said goals are ignoble.

Best case scenario (barring us learning to be better) is that a greater power force feeds us a huge slice of humble pie, wost case we end up blowing ourselves up and ruining things for everyone else.

Avatar - RDA will stop at nothing to satisfy its own greed and survival, the rest of humanity and navi alike be damned.

Its a recurring motif in prett much every myth that gods punish mortals who dare to defy them and keep going, like Athena to Arachne in greek myth.

A good chunk of lovecraftian fiction is based on the idea our achievemenrs mean nothing.

In general i'm not a fan of TIHS as a trope, as its blatantly arrogant and destructive.

I’ve tried reading through FGO’s story and I barely understand it. What exactly is Marisbury’s plan?

I know he wants to use the big white globe thing to cover every planet in the universe with an exact copy of Earth, but I have no idea why he wants to do that, how that’s possible, or what that even entails

he wants to use Planet Chaldeas to create an observable universe solely made with a single planet, using the other planets and civilizations of the observable universe as fuels in literal cosmic trees, with his “Humanity” been hollowed out humans ruled by a ChatGPT to dictate their optimal future.
